I’ve taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it’s not a lot, but I’m very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I’ll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.

I feel like I’m still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can’t follow through things to completion. What gives?

    So there’s two lines of thought here;

    1 is that the first time you take it, the meds have the best effect and you finally have a functional day, but better, it almost feels like Felix felicis from Harry Potter. Some view it as what should be striven for, which unfortunately can end up with people chasing that first time feeling again, leading to increasing the dose more and more despite side effects.

    2 is that after taking the meds for a few months, you’ve gained a tolerance, its less euphoric but actually more functional because you aren’t chasing the euphoria (or the dopamine from starting a different task).

    Personally I find IR meds to up and down for my day to day, XR is a lot more comfortable long term
