you could try talking to your doc. Some docs are doing the as-needed stimulant RX-ing thing now, especially for older ADD-ers; personally, I don't know what the deal is (taking an RX adderall "as-needed" really doesn't strike me as different from buying one from a friend for $5 a pop...except the money's going to your shrink).
Now, that said...maybe you could divide the dose? If you have a pill-cutter, try cutting up the tab (im assuming you're doing the tablet, not XR adderall). Even quarters might work; just take little pieces throughout your study period. That might help. You could also try dexedrine, like the previous poster said...unfortunately, though, it seems like a lot of docs don't RX dexedrine that often, I guess b/c its old and has a shady rep.
Good luck!
