I take short acting adderall too. I think you are waiting too long to take your second dose. It only lasts about 4.5 hours for me. The crash from adderall seems to be pretty harsh. Also if you ate before or after you take it, it will lower the kick in effect. I have found that as soon as I have a reg size meal, my medication pretty much goes away. Sometime to my iritation it will come back when the food is gone and I am left stairing at the ceiling instead of sleeping :)
For my long acting medication I have just started generic dexedrine sr...2 15 mg capsules. It takes a long time to come on, but it last longer than XR.
Are you drinking any high acid stuff or caffiene with your medication, this will also lower your absorption.
Hope this helps some :)
