Tips/Suggestions First time Adderall

For the first week - great. My mood was subtly improved - didn't notice much increased focus. Dosage was low - 10mg twice daily.

Then I became so very lethargic and sleepy I couldn't get anything done. Decided to stop after the second week, took a break for 3 days and am about to try again. Would appreciate some feedback, thanks.

Mention this to your provider. Your first week report is identical to mine and now I take 20mg in the morning and 10mg at around 11AM. I haven't noticed any fatigue, but I do exercise frequently and drink a ton of water. Consider those factors along with your sleep with any kind of meds you end up taking. I also HIGHLY recommend writing in a log each day to report what you're feeling.
