> 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. >

When u say 'it feels awful', may I ask u what u mean, specifically? I use dexedrine, and my MAJOR symptom when I stop is simply irrepressible fatigue & an undeniable need to sleep for at least 2 days straight.By the middle of the third day, I begin to come out of the fog. I am awake and fairly normal, no nasty physical symptoms. However, I must use stimulants for both my ADD and to achieve any kind of relief from my TRD and anxiety.Hannah
