i'm on 20mg of adderall 3 times per day, along with 225mg of effexor daily. this is my second time on adderall. both times it has pooped out relatively quickly, in terms of mood lift. this time, i've been on it for two weeks, and it has already significantly pooped out. it still does a good job of keeping me from daytime sleep which is the reason i was put on it to begin with. what i found in the beginning was that it was great for my depression/anhedonia too. it made me feel like doing things. this effect has almost completely gone away in two weeks. perhaps it has something to do with the high dosage i require. by the way, the other thing about adderall is that it was extremely difficult to come off of. i had the most miserable, depression filled 2 weeks after i stopped the medication. i mean awful. i dread having to go through it again. anyone else have this? i felt like i needed to go back on it though after i was unable to stay awake at work every day. it's the only drug i've been on that keeps me from drowsiness.
