Thank you. I've recently been taking 40mgXR [extended release] and seem to be up against a brick wall. Initially 20mg used to have me doing well so I asked to try 30.

30 seemed too much so I stopped altogether for some time. 8 months or so. Upon starting again I have needed a larger dose and my doc says we're getting close to the recommended maximum.

To be truthful I've not been on these for long I suppose. 14 months or so counting the 8 month hiatus. I've tried Concerta Vyvase AND Strattera trying to find the one most tolerable. Adderall seemed to work...now not so much if at all.

I HAVE been having a prolonged bout of depression that I'm not easily shaking. Perhaps WITHOUT the Adderall things would be worse??? I don't want and am not looking for, another increase. This stuff should be working. I asked my pharmacy if it's the same brand as last years and they said yes. Sometimes apparently, a brand change can affect efficacy.

Thanks for your info. I may ask for a broken regimen and get away from the XR. I have a few more questions for my doc it appears. Poor feller.
