That's about how it effected me. Out of 19 different psych meds I've been on at one time or another, it is the only one I had trouble not abusing. So I recommend using it with caution in that regard, although it doesn't sound like you like the way it makes you feel "funny".\nIt seemed to be much more effective for my adult ADHD than Concerta was,  I had pretty much no side effects with Concerta (and no problem with wanting to abuse it.) \nThe extended release should not keep you up all night if you are taking it once in the morning. Despite what the drug company says, it really only lasts about 8 hours. \nMy son has been on Adderall for several years and it works very well for him. It's the difference of night and day when he's taken it and when he hasn't.

I usually take mine in the middle of the day, right after lunch. I find taking a vitamin on an empty stomach sometimes gives me indigestion. But if I had to choose, I'd say the morning, after breakfast.

Give it 24 hours w/medication. After that, go back to the doctor and let them know.

Shifting the time within the day should have no effect.  You could probably start taking them in the afternoon with no effect and then could transition to nighttime within a few days after that.

missing one pill shouldn't hurt you. but call your doc to make sure.

try crackers in between meals or when you take your meds

I take 20mg 3x daily and it's less effective to me too because I've built up a tolerance as well. I take an antidepressant that helps with the anxiety so I don't feel nervous after taking the Adderall. Talk to your doctor maybe you should up your dosage but do it gradually like you're doing.

If it was me, I would probably take a benadryl.  However, probably your best bet would be to get yourself to the ER asap.  If you do that, don't take the benadryl, because they won't be able to give you anything for it.

This drug would affect you regardless if you have ADD/ADHD or not. This is an amphetamine and has a high potential for abuse. \n\nYou shouldn't be taking this drug if it's been prescribed to someone else. Prescriptions are made base on age and weight and symptoms. Adderall has powerful side effects such as elevated blood pressure, heart palpitations and insomnia, (to name a few) that could be worse for you than what the drug is doing for you. Any treatment program for mental diagnosis' includes more than just drugs. If you did have ADD/ADHD, you would need other aspects of treatment for success. This would include but is not limited to; therapy sessions with an MD. Seek help from a doctor before you continue this medication.

Me too! Make a time schedule for yourself and block out hours of the day to do things. Give yourself more time than you think you need to complete assignments. That should help. Also, find out how you focus: do you like constant background noise or no noise at all. That should help.I have ADHD and working with a consistent backgroud noise works for me.

a friend gave me? aderall is not something one can gift or give away to others, if you are not supposed to be taking it then discard it. If you are someone who needs aderall then contact your doctor for refills, good luck

If the dr. told you to take it in the evening you should take it in the evening.  If you are having weight gain then you should go back and discuss this new problem with the dr.

Claritin is good for 24 hours, but at night it may keep you awake, try benedryl the one that makes you sleepy. I have allergies at night so benedryl works the best for me and let me sleep.
