In reply to Trying AGAIN for answers for this depression..., posted by becksA on November 4, 2004, at 11:08:43
I have ADHD (and depression--but I take Lexapro for that) and have been on Adderall for a few years. I started on Adderall XR and had to go off it due to afternoon "crashes"--low energy/depressed mood, etc. when it would begin to wear off.
I got put on immediate-release Adderall (I now take 50 mg. in divided doses throughout the morning/day) and found it was a much better fit for me. I do not experience the yucky "crash" feeling on the regular Adderall.
Best,
L.>
> I also take Adderall XR 60mg at 7AM and then another 10mg of short acting Adderall at around 3pm. I find that it seems to help boost my mood....Problem is, the morning dose begins to wear off around noon (5 hours into it) but since it's still in my system, I hold off on my next dose of adderall until around 3pm.
