I stopped, due to the very scary aide effects of taking almost a gram evey 8 hours… I couldn’t sleep, had heart palpitations, breathing was becoming a “I have to remember to do it constantly” thing…
shit was not fun. now I just do things via coping strategies. I won’t share mine because they’d work explicitly for me, and I don’t want to get bashed for “doing it wrong”.
The highest dosage of adderal that I can find is 60mg, and that’s typically only for narcolepsy patients.
To be taking “a gram every 8 hours”, you’d need to be taking ~16 pills every 8 hours, or close to 50 pills a day. You’re approaching OD risk at that point.
Please listen to the huberman podcast on ADHD and medicating it. You will discover that you take an exceptionally high dose which is not likely to be necessary. Please consult another doctor.
They should be ramping it up from a very low dose slowly and keep it at the lowest working dose four exactly the reasons you have set out.
this was years and years ago, when docs ramped it up in the name of medical profits,… and I never really ended up needing then after a few years of “getting gud”

Ya but thats honestly insane. Isnt the highest dose of Adderall like 50 or 60 mg?
Why did you go along with that? They literally forced you to up-titrate to that level, nothing less was sufficient, like, ever?
