30mg twice a day. It worked really well. I was more calm, content, and sharper. I was also better socially as I could respond alot quicker to what someone said instead of having to think so hard about my response

That's awesome Sam, good sign to have good results and no bad side effects on the first dose! Just don't take it all night, ok? My pdoc only gives me 30mg a day, that's enough for me to get through work.

Yeah my husband takes adderall xr when we can afford it (which won't be for a long time now.) He was really calm on it for a while but after a while it just kind of didn't work the same. But he doesn't want to increase it. He was only on 20mg though.

Fast release generic "amphetamine salts" might be more affordable than XR. I know ur anthem blue cross is different than mine, but I think mine are $10 a bottle with insurance. Oh gosh are u losing insurance soon then DH ?

I have add as well but because of being bipolar and an addict, my Dr. does not want to give me those types of meds. I tried stratera but it didnt help.
Oh well, guess i;ll never be as alert

For self pay the generic is $380 and the brand is $400. I've already researched this. (That was what it was with the high deductable insurance, too.)

When we had the other insurance with co-pays, the brand was a teir 2 of $40 a month, and the generic was not allowed by the insurance plan or it would have been $15 a month. But because the insurance company has a deal with the pharmaceutical company, they don't let you get the generic.... But still, $40 vs. $400 is a big difference.
