In reply to Adderall XR - maybe twice a day?, posted by Peter on March 7, 2002, at 12:05:33
I think you are taking too little and that's the problem. The XR version should last 11-12 hours. With 10 mg. you are getting a little lift 2-3 hours after you take it but you are on too little to notice that it continues to be in your bloodstream thereafter. Before you try playing around mixing XR with non-XR and taking it twice a day, try going up at 5 mg. a time for once a day relief. Many 8 year olds take 30 mg. once day, of course they don't stay out until 2-3 a.m.
I was just reading that adderall XR has already - afte 3 months -- captured 12% of the ADD/AHDD market so hundreds of thousands of people are finding the once a day works better for them.
