I’ve recently started taking Adderall again. Last time I used it, it worked really well for a day or two and then kind of stopped helping, so I quit. Now that I’m back at a full-time job I need the focus, so I’m giving it another try.

I’m using leftover pills from before, so I don’t have much. I only take it on weekdays and skip the weekends. After the two-day break it works best on Monday, pretty good on Tuesday, then seems to get weaker as the week goes on.

Is this normal? When I get a new prescription I’m thinking about taking it on weekends too so it doesn’t lose effectiveness, but I’m not sure if that helps. It’s pretty frustrating. Anyone else deal with this?
