In reply to Adderall XR - help, anyone?, posted by lemon68 on October 10, 2005, at 22:35:18
I use Adderall XR twice a week or so, but only for my absolute WORST depressive days. That's all it really helps me with. I take about 20 mg (opening the 30 mg capsule & sprinkling some in applesauce).
Yes, if I used it every day, I would develop tolerance and have to up the dose. But by skipping a couple days in every week and keeping your overall dose as low as practical (say, 10-40 mg), you should be able to avoid having to go up & up & up with the dose.
Adderall XR is a life-saver for me on those terrible, horrible, no good, really bad days.
There was a recent thread discussing Adderall and tolerance: http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/pb/mget.pl?post=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dr-bob.org%2Fbabble%2F20050921%2Fmsgs%2F559429.html
Good luck! Please post your results!
