I know of a doctor who actually recommended this to his patients. Actually he wrote an article that was given to me by my doc. I called his phone (it was on the article) and to my surprise he actually answered himself! He talked to me for a few minutes. He says that FDA says not to do it, but he tells his patients to do it so to get an accurate dosage. In other words, he does not have them open the capsule to take the whole thing.
If the XR isn't working maybe you should try the regular tablets. Then you can take it throughout the day in small doses to get a better effect.
One thing I have learned from people on this board and my doc....Adderall works better when you take it as little as possible. He told me that is the only way to keep one step ahead of tolerance. It does suck, but I would rather have a few days where the Adderall works perfect, as opposed to everyday with minimal performance.The drug holidays really do work.
