I started out on Adderall 10mg in the morning and at noon, he hasn't increased the dose yet.

I noticed a tiny bit of increased motion, such as finger or toe tapping while sitting still, but it did not make me antsy or jittery. I also had a motormouth for the first couple of weeks. The crushing fatigue I used to feel all day long is gone. Chasing a thought through the mists of my brain (like trying to catch a helium balloon by the string) is gone.

Hyper focus is a symptom of ADD and not necessarily a side effect of the med, but the not sleeping and the slowed mental response time are indicators that this is the wrong dose for you. This med should be making you sharp, not dull.

By the way, my Pdoc stated that XR doesn't work as well as standard, as well as being more expensive. Have you tried the standard release, like me, 10 mg am and 10 mg pm? Might make a difference.
Thanks for this!
