I take Adderall. It did help, alot. I'm thinking of changing however. I was up to 60 mg (2 30xr) and it was too high, and now I'm at 40 (2 20 xr and 1 10 xr that I can split up depending on how my day is going) and I feel better and more productive when on it, but not enough. I just don't want such a high stimulant.

Watch your weight when on it, and if any obsessive behaviors develop or increase - watch out. I got a bit obsessive with weight once I saw that I lost a bunch. Make sure to eat and please PLEASE stay hydrated. Adderall also works less when you don't have enough sleep. But ADHD just stinks 10x more anyway when little sleep.

Lastly, good luck! Adderall is a wonderful stimulant to start out on. It helps to have someone who knows you well to watch you on this medication. Tell them how you feel on it and when off it. This way, you stay 'in check' with how you've progressed without bias.
