To start off let me make it clear that I do plan on talking to my dr about this next week when she's back in office.

So I was recently prescribed Adderall XR 30 mg, I've taken it for only 3 days so far and I don't like the way I feel. So far I don't think my focus had improved but it's hard to tell. I also am feeling irritable more often than usual and it seems to be over nothing which is frustrating. Without any medication I still struggle with irritability just not daily as I am with the Adderall. The biggest thing that's bothering me is I just feel really weird and I don't know how to describe it. It's like I'm in my own world or out of body I don't always feel like myself. I've been told to continue taking it because my body will adjust to it and the symptoms will go away (I was told about 4-6 weeks) and I was also told to just stop taking them. I plan on taking them for at least 2 more days (a total of 5 days) since I have the next two days off and I can see if it helps improve my level of focus or not. If these symptoms will take a while to go away I don't think I want to wait for that because I'm not able to be around people and I'm still unproductive since my medication makes my body feel weird and it makes me want to do nothing because I don't like how it feels. My ADHD is a problem but not to where I need medication every day. I want to be able to miss a couple days but don't want to feel weird while on it. I have learned to adjust my lifestyle to accommodate it for the most part and I can do well most days. I mostly struggle with school because that's the one thing I have to actually focus on. My job is fast pace and always changing so that is beneficial for me and works well, as with school I can't sit there any pay attention for longer than 5 minutes or even do homework it's to the point where I'm failing my classes when I know I'm smart.

Any help or advice? I would really appreciate it.
