I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I don't really want to up my meds anymore as I am already taking 40mg of Adderall a day. Is this ADD related or could it be something else. If it doesn't get better I will be addressing it with my PDOC on next f/u apt.

Definitely tell your pdoc about it. I take Vyvanse and it seems to work, maybe you could try switching to Vyvanse, or a methylphenidate-based medication, such as Concerta. All the best!
