> I was on Adderal for four months for ADD and became increasingly agitated. I am extremely tolerant of meds and was taking 190mgs a day. Each dose was effective for about 2-3 hrs. As each dose wore off

I know some ADDers have to take the highest levels to achieve the right dose
but compared to EVERYONE I have seen posted all over ADD channels the most I have seen
is 60mg/day. No wonder you had bad effects. I'm sure at that high of dose you reached your "addictive"
level for sure (this varies in people according to metabolism/weight---and difference can be as little as 5mg)
I'm sure if you tried ADDeral and it worked, you could try again at much lower levels.
Start with 10mg/day and go from there, increasing the dose (if needed) every week until a max dose of 60mg/day is reached.
Then if it still isn't working the way you want it to, you know it never will. Not all meds work the same for all people.
I am sure Ritalin would not be a good choice for me.
Good luck!
