Hi all,I have a question for all of you out there who are taking Adderall or who have in the past. I just started it a couple of days ago for ADD (Inattentive). My doc said I should start out at 5mg/2x a day and then I could bump it up to 10mg/2x a day if needed. On day one I tried 5mg x 2; my concentration and ability to process information improved a little and I had a little bit of queeziness and P.M. tiredness. Day 2- I tried upping it to 10mg x 2 yesterday; I felt OK in the a.m.- slightly improved ability to focus but still got caught spacing out in a group meeting! In the afternoon after the second 10mg dose I felt pretty wretched for about 6hrs or so. I felt kind of dizzy, flushed, and quite naseous. To top it off, I couldn't sleep last night. What does this mean? Did I take too much too soon? Does it often take awhile for the body to adjust to Adderall? I know everyone differs on how they respond, but I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
Mark
