In reply to Adderall XR TIRED?, posted by slushpuppi on December 24, 2003, at 16:21:53
I was on Adderall XR 20mg./day for a short time before I was switched to the regular Adderall; the Adderall XR "come-down" or what not was not pleasant at all, and if I took it in the morning I'd be pretty tired/inattentive/feeling down/irritable, etc., by at least 5 p.m., if I recall correctly. So now I have been on regular (immediate release??)Adderall for appx. a year? and it has been a much better fit for me for my ADHD than the Adderall XR was. And 20 mg. is the dose of Adderall XR that I was started out on I think, so I would not imagine that 20 mgs./day is a large dose of Adderall XR. Best of luck!
>Been taking 15mg Adderall XR at 8am and at 1-2pm, feeling sluggish, taking 5mg Adderall XR and still sluggish at 5pm. Is 20mg a low dose? My pdoc is not a huge fan of stimulants and my concern is telling him that 20mg has a noticeable effect that lasts only 3-4 hours.
