In reply to do people develop a tolerance to stims?, posted by cybercafe on January 7, 2003, at 0:24:23
I think it depends on the person. I feel fortunate that I am able to use this medication stably. When I first started taking adderall (regular relese) I did increase it from 2x10 and 1x5 to 3x10, but then didn't increase it after that. When I switched to the xr, I started at 30 mg and have been at that dose for a while, and have really not felt a craving for more. And I think there are many people who can also take this medication without tolerance problems. On the other hand, I have read other accounts of people who do develop more of a tolerance, and some who become rather addicted.
That is not to say I don't have some "dependence" on it--if stopped suddenly, it feels awful.
