    I take 10mgIR in the morning and 10mgIR in the afternoon. There is appetite suppression, but not bad. The strangest side effect is sleeping in on the weekends–before Adderall, I hadn’t been able to sleep past 7 for many years. Now, I can easily sleep until noon. There are much worse side effects, but it’s bit annoying to waste a good portion of my day off sleeping.

    Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.

    Don’t get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don’t realize this.

    Seriously, I doubt any doctor would recommend a patient with depression to take a “medication holiday.”

    I appreciate that some doctors are concerned that a med will lose its effectiveness because of tolerance, but can happen with any medication. That’s also why there are multiple medications on the market.






  • Just a guess based on my experience with Adderall: for me, Adderall primes the “motivation” pump, but I need to have a direction for the flow or I go all over the place. You were directing the flow until you went on vacation, and then you were still taking the meds, but there wasn’t the impetus to direct the flow. (And, there shouldn’t have been–you were on vacation!)

    So, in addition to other suggestions, could the following week been getting readjusted to directing the flow? I’m glad it was a temporary issue, though!
