Take it with a meal with good protein. Drink a lot of water and no caffeine throughout the day. Maybe ask your doctor about going down to 5mg to start. Give yourself some time to adjust. Also, look up serotonin syndrome and work with your doctor to make sure you’re not on other medications that impact adderall use.
This is totally normal. Your body just needs time to adjust and regulate. If you're still feeling this way a few days from now, I'd talk to your doctor about maybe dropping your dosage a bit and see if that helps. I felt this way when I first started on Aderall, but everything evened out a few days in. Good luck!
Might need to take your dosage down a notch chief 😂
If it's your first day ever on Adderall, it may have a different effect. Real chatty, euphoric, etc.
That probably wont happen again. It'll be tamed down and more focus going forward.

You might adjust, but you also might need a lower dose. Doctors often start around 20 mg but can’t predict how people metabolize the drug/how sensitive they’ll be. I react strongly to a lot of meds and 5 mg XR works for me. Also, while starting out, try not to add caffeine.

Yeah, I assumed they’re on IR since it’s twice a day. Just saying a lower dose as well as the XR version worked better for me.
Remember to eat! And drink water. If you are a coffee drinker, you might want to quit.
So I had half a pill (5mg) and an energy drink and I am feeling fine. I guess 10mg was too much ?
You will develop tolerance quickly. Just enjoy the temporary high. You will never feel it again.
It took me about 3 days
My doctor made it seem like 10 was a pretty low dose, but I’m pretty sensitive to stimulants so i switched to 5. Barely felt anything but it was still an improvement and I didn’t experience any of the weird side effects.
Also, taking my last dose around noon keeps my sleep schedule on track. I still drink coffee but limit it to one cup. Eating beforehand also helps make the effects a little less harsh. Good luck, sounds like a good change for you!
I prefer micro dosing. Taking only a small amount. I stay focused but not the cracked out feeling i assume you are feeling now.
You probably mixed it with caffeine if you’re so chatty. I did that for 5 years and now having problems so avoid the caffeine.
What problems are you having
The second dose is because you can get tired at the end of the first dose. Takes a few days to acclimate so start low and work your way up or down as needed. I’m still trying to find the right mix. You can cut the pills in halves and quarters too.
I will have to do that. I was on a call .. it went bad. I was all over the place. 😰
This is how I felt lol I now take 5mg of instant release when I feel I need it, and still get the euphoric/can do anything/on my game feeling
No caffeine, be careful on that. Lots of water. I would start on a weekend so you can get used to it and not worry about being weird with clients (I’ve been there!).
OP: dial down the dose! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I was prescribed 10 mg twice per day too and I felt the exact same way. I finally started cutting them in half so basically 5mg twice per day. After a couple weeks of getting used to that I was able to move up to the 10mg.
Your body builds a tolerance to it pretty quickly, definitively had trouble sleeping the first week or so as it’s essentially a stimulant.
I always like the dad joke, “Can’t concentrate? Do meth about it!” Cause that’s essentially what we are doing lol
Ahh I miss these days. Just make sure you drink a lot of water and be conscious to make sure you are not being too long winded. Also try to sound as least monotone as possible when you speak - I noticed I was sounding like a zombie at first when i was first getting used to my dosage.
Def do not run a marathon
I am done after a mile. lol
Tried splitting the dosage in half. It’s not enough. Going back to 10 and hope for the best.
I'm on 56mg concerta ... Slow release. I'm 6 ft,. 210#... That's lasts me a good 6 hrs. I've never had it impact me that way though.i should also say that caffeine has no effect on me.
