Hi c.j.!

Are you eating regularly and in your usual amounts? I'm not very hungry when I take Adderall, but I find that I feel much better if I eat anyway.

Also, how are you sleeping? Adderall has a longer duration of action than Ritalin, especially when you first start taking it, so it may be more likely to cause insomnia or poor quality of sleep. Maybe you could get a script for some Ambien while you are adjusting to the new med?

Finally, since you mention cost, you may be able to save money by having your doctor write for a smaller number of tablets of a larger dose (30 mg is the largest available), then splitting the tablets. The cost per tablet is usually about the same no matter what size tablet you buy, and Adderall is scored two ways so it is easy to divide even into quarters. Or you could try dextroamphetamine, which has similar effects but costs about a quarter as much per tab as generic Adderall.
