I recently switched from Adderall XR to Adderall IR due to the National shortage. I’m finding that the IR isn’t nearly as effective as the XR and is almost as if I’m not taking anything at all. Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if I’m doing something wrong that is significantly diminishing the efficacy

I’ve found certain versions of the generic IR don’t work as well as other so that could be part of the issue too

I always skip it on weekends or days I’m not working. It helps keep it effective but I agree that the XR works more effectively. I’m on Dyanavel XR now because of the Adderall shortage

I have found it comparable - I’m on 20 mg and I’ve noticed that the lack of appetite isn’t as bad as it was on Adderall but I’m able to focus on the Dyanavel. I have to do the same thing with this one as Adderall with skipping weekends so I don’t get used to it

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
