Adderall Dosing

Posted by Christina on April 9, 2002, at 8:09:01

Hi. I used to post here a while ago, and now I'm back. For the past seven years, I was on various cocktails of ADs and mood stabilizers for my marked dysthymia.
The last medication was Prozac.
I saw a new pdoc and he diagnosed me with marked adult ADD - innattentive type.
He took me off Prozac and started me on Adderall.
So far it's been great. I'm more focused and have even lost a few of the 40 lbs I gained on ADs. Of course I know I still have some Prozac in my system, so I'm watching for rebound depression from a lack of ADs.
My question is about dosing. Currently I take 10 mgs in the morning, and I'm fine until lunch. Then I take another 10 mgs, but it's less effective. I know most people take a higher dose in the morning, then a lower one at lunch. But has anyone tried a higher second dose. Currently I have NO problem sleeping. In fact by 9 pm, I'm ready for bed.
Also, has anyone stopped taking ADs and relied soley on stimulants for dysthymia/ADD?
