something other than adderal

by angiemak21, Jul 20, 2008 02:53PM
Hello, I have been taking the generic adderal  for almost a yr.I started out taking 40mg. then i guess built up a tolerance to it and started 60mg and i again built up a tolerance to it, my doc says 60 mg is the maximum, so my question is is there another one that is effective that doesn't start out so low i guess or stronger. i hope that makes since to anyone.thanx

IVE BEEN takeing 150mgs of adderall (adderrall) xr or 5 30mg tabs a day for over 2 years. i have a tolerance too. my meds are prescribed monthly and legally, i guess what im trying to say is the feeling always becomes normal no matter what the doseage. everything out there for adhd is always going to let u down over time.   If it was me ID TRY to get off them before you build up to a level and dependancy like mine.       ADDICTED

I agree with the last post, wean off this drug and see how you feel, tell your Doc you want to try taking no Meds, the do it, if its for Anxiety there are a ton of new things and help out there without these powerful drugs, put it into your search engine under side effects of Adderall (adderrall) or other drugs and see what they say.

I strongly advise you not to try and ween yourself off of anything without your doctors consent!

First I would suggest trying the actual medication Adderall (adderrall).  The generic has been found to be inconsistent with active ingredients when tested...that alone would put you on a rollercoaster.

If that doesn't solve the issue, you may need to try a different medication.

good luck!
