> Just curious - how much Adderall does everyone take?
I am supposed to take 20mg 3xday - I usually only take 20mg twice a day.
> He told me that Adderall was stronger on a mg basis than methylphenedate (Concerta) and that therefore I should take 30 mg/day of Adderall, which is equivalent to 54 mg of methylphenedate.
>I don't know if adderall is much stronger than methylphenidate. I took ritalin 20mg 3xday for about 7 years, then switched to 54mg concerta. When that didn't have the desired effect, I was switched to adderall in the exact same dose of the ritalin I used to take. I do not think that adderall is much stronger than ritalin. I think it is "smoother", without the extreme highs and lows that I experienced w/ methylphenidate.
