i take adderall xr 30mg each morning. if i don't take this before my day starts, i can't function properly or wake up. i have regular adderall in 10mg pills, which i'm instructed to take as needed. i can take the immediate release or not, depending on how i feel. but i feel addicted, not just physically dependent, on the morning XR dose. i hate it, and it scares me that i'm so scared of the drs cutting off my supply. i'm scared of possible mood crashes, of the tiredness and deadness, and of the inability to focus. but a lot of the drs i've seen lately are really against stims as part of my treatment, esp because of appetite suppresion. so yeah, i feel addicted to my everyday dose but not my prn. hope that helps.
