I'm home sick. I have a bad case of bronchitis. Just got back from the doctor and the pharmacy. So, I'm on an antibiotic, prescription cough syrup, prescription inhalor and prescription nose spray.

I'm on generic adderal for my ADHD. I take 10 mg two times a day, and it's working well for me.

But, last night, due to coughing and stuffy nose, I was lucky if I got two hours sleep! So, I want to skip my second dose of Adderal this afternoon, so I can nap. I am soooooo tired!

I am not asking for medical advice. I'm asking if anyone else ever skipped a dose, and was there a negative response as a result. So, I'm looking for your experience.
Thanks!

Peace!

I don't know about skipping a dose of your ADHD. I just hope you feel better. Make sure you finish all your antibiotics for sure. I've had bronchitis many times- it's very hard.

Thanks, Lynn.
I just got a cat nap in, LOL!
It was the coughing woke me up. And I'm stretched out in a cleopatra chair, so, my head's not even down, or even! It's up!
Yea, I can pretend to be the Queen of the Nile,
even if I'm feeling sick as a dog! LOL!

Peace!

I dont think it would matter if you skipped the dose if you're going to be asleep lol, it would be the same if you missed a dose so its not like its a bad thing. Hope you're feeling better soon

Well, I did skip it, and it doesn't appear to have done any damage.
I am taking today's morning dose now. But, it was good to get a few cat naps in yesterday afternoon. And I slept good last night. I needed that!
Thanks for the feedback!

Peace!
