I used to be on adderall xr, it seemed like it never really kicked in. My pdoc let me take 12.5 mg adderall with my 2 20mg adderall xr. I eventually went to dexedrine spansule (sr) with 12.5 of adderall. Adderall seems to be more drying that dexedrine and I was getting very bad dry throat. It would take a 2 or 3 glasses of water to get any kind of pill down.
Be sure to take your adderall on an empty tummy and stay away from vitamin c and citric acid during the day when you want your medication to work. It lowers the effect greatly. Food especially lowers adderall xr absorption. Sometime it will just delay it a few hours and then you get to look at the ceiling all night while your trying to sleep :)
hope this helps
