In reply to ADDERALL trouble - any ideas??, posted by mrporter1 on November 6, 2003, at 23:45:09
I can feel your pain! I'm currently on 40-60 mg of Adderall XR daily. I usually take 40 but doc wants me to take 60. Anyhow, around 4-5 every day, approx 7 hours after I take Adderall Xr I want to kill someone. I start snapping peoples head off for asking how my day was. It's horrible. I saw my doc yesterday and he prescribed 10 mg of Focalin to take at 3:30 every afternoon. I just started today so I can't say just how it's going to go, but maybe your doc would consider putting you on something else for later in the day. Good luck!
> I'm taking 12.5mg regular Adderall twice each day. Get peak affect at 1.5 hours and can work normally and focus for about 1.5 hours after peak. Then very irritable.

> I've taken Adderall XR and the cycle is less extreme, but after about 6 hours, very angry (much, much more irritable.)

> Any idea how to proceed?
