> I take 60mg once at 7 AM when I leave for work. I battle depression, and this seems to help alleviate this, and make me much more upbeat, and social....I notice that it starts to twindle around lunchtime, and then it's pretty much fully gone by mid afternoon. Anybody that takes Adderall XR, what is your dosing schedule? I think I would like to take a second dose mid afternoon.
> ThanksI take 5 mg Adderall XR upon waking with club soda, and then another 5mg around 4-5 hours later. I find I crash regardless of the second dose around 7 hours after waking, but if I have a short nap I'm ready to go. I think it's basically my body getting exhausted from the stimulant. I've only been Adderall for 2 weeks though so I'm still working things out.
I may switch to dexedrine due to adderall inducing a bit of social anxiety I've found
