I’ve taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it’s not a lot, but I’m very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I’ll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.

I feel like I’m still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can’t follow through things to completion. What gives?

    Sorry, wasn’t meant as judgemental. Just honest advice. Everyone has good days and bad, and varying sensitivity to various substances, like you said. Titration needs to evaluate the average response over a sufficient period of time to know what is right.

    It sounds like self-medicating, going up or down based on the day. Talk to your physician about this. My understanding is it hurts the in-vivo experiment that is titration.

        Unconventional, but not unheard of. Take detailed notes in a journal and report back the effects.

        Everybody’s brain is different, you may find this med unfit for your condition and supplement with another or switch entirely. You have to be patient.
