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?
Amphetamines work IMMEDIATELY, always. Hooo boy do they ever WORK.
Your SSRIs, SNRIs, most antidepressants, antipsychotics, methylphenidate even… those can take some time. A week, a few weeks maybe.
Amphetamines hit yo shit whether or not you’ve got ADHD—they’ll just do different things. But adderall for sure will be immediately noticeable. If it’s not, it’s not the right medication to be on. The only thing that hits more quickly when taken orally are benzos/barbituates.
