> I was diagnosed with ADD and am currently taking 20 mg of Adderall twice a day. What I am trying to determine is how Adderall is absorbed in the body and if my "plumbing" is significantly affecting it.

> I have tried to find the info. Neither my doc nor pharmacist can't give me a definitive answer and I try to read through the medical literature but so much of it is babble to my "unmedical' mind that I just don't get it.

> Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
