I do notice that if I eat something when I feel I'm coming down that I do feel better. Interesting...
> A magnesium supplement may very well do the trick for you. There is some research that shows adderall can deplete magnesium in brain. I have found it to significantly decrease the come down effects of adderall.

> Also, something important to consider is that adderall causes your body to release more cortisol, which in turn spikes blood glucose levels. As the adderall effects start wearing off, glucose levels can fall sharply. So, its important to eat a healthy snack while adderall is in your system. Do not reach for junk food or soda, coffee as this will make anxiety/depression worse. Adderall does diminish appetite, so it may be hard. But small nutritious snack will definitely help. Things like mixed nuts or chicken casesar salad.

> I have alot more things that will help, but you seem to be getting a good response at a very low dose and you are only 23 so I think these 2 things could be a big help for you. I am 26, soon 27 and have taken adderall for 6 years. I take 30 mg a day.
