What is the worst thing that could happen if you overdosed on Adderall? Right now I take 30mg of Adderall. I am just wondering what would happen if I took like 45mg of it. because I really feel like it is not working. and my teachers are saying that I am the most hyper active child that they have ever met.

GeNuInE, I would probably check with my pdoc before upping my dose...

I am normally on 35mg of Adderall. I usually end up with 45 mg instead. I find I feel better and seems to work better there. However I recommend talking to your doctor before changing yours.

Changing doses of any medication without your doctor's approval is a dangerous game to play. I'm with DepressMe and Josh on this one. Please speak to your doctor before making any changes yourself. Maybe a dosage change would helpful or maybe your doctor will suggest a different type of medication for you.

Yes, you could already have too much rather than too little; you need to talk to your doctor.
