Who is on adderall (xr)and how does it work for you? I just got put on it(10mgx1aday) for the fact that I will sleep ALL day and night and I haven't been able to do anything and I was gonna fail out of school. I am bipolar so they were very hesitant about letting me try it. So far its been a week or so with improved focus and motivation but by 12-1 I am coming off it and I have started taking another one at 12 and it seems to be better. I understand this is such a low dose so...will I have a problem getting my doc to switch to 2xaday? I was just wondering how this drug effects others.
