We are all responding different to meds and have diffent reasons to require these 'chemical enhancers'. I moved up swiftly to 54mg and still need additional stimulants in the afternoon. I am continually experimenting with dose and timing, no cookiecutter method works for me, I either forget, or have no sense of circadian rythm. I could use a regular kick in the butt.
Side effects were visual blurring, which went away after several weeks; dry mouth, excessive thirst and tachycardia which stayed. I have an increase of blank spots, moments I can't interact, but the positives still outweigh the negatives for me.
Give the med a fighting chance, good luck.
