In reply to ADD-inattentive - Adderall no longer helps - what , posted by btnd on December 20, 2003, at 14:57:27
Brad- I just did a quick internet search and came up with several sites that had 160mg per day as the maximum. I pasted one of them below. The maximum dose of Adderall is about 160 mg per day. It's 3/4 mg per pound of body weight. So if someone weighs 100 pounds, the maximum is 75 mg per day. I would talk to the doctor again about increasing the dose.
"However, the maximum dose of Adderall is thought by many doctors, including the Harvard University ADD Group, to be 3/4 of a milligram per pound of body weight (120 mg per day for a 160 pound person)."
