I'm in the same boat. My Adderall got upped to 30 mg (I've gradually gone up from 10, to 20, now to 30 over the past 5 months), and I'm STILL struggling. Going over 30 mg seems excessive, but my case may be severe enough to warrant a higher dose. It will be a miracle drug some days, even some hours of the day, and then I'll have the same habits, the same mental leaps, the same inability to follow through on tasks. I'm much more alert in meetings than I used to be, and I follow conversations much better. My responsiveness to requests at work has generally gotten better but has room to be desired. Long-term projects have still been as much of a battle. It's funny- I've been much more productive at home since starting the Adderall than I have been at work. I don't know if my expectations have been too high for the Adderall, like I was expecting a pill to rid me instantly of ingrained habits to which I'm psychologically addicted. But there are some times I think I just traded the 1-2 pots of coffee I used to drink a day (and the occasional cigarette) for another stimulant (still with an occasional cigarette) that generally works better but some days seems just to keep me awake in order to be as unproductive as I was before. If you're struggling with the Adderall not working, perhaps it's not just the Adderall dose. Maybe you also need to work with a psychologist, too. I'm seeing a psychiatrist (for the meds) and I'm going to work more frequently with a psychologist, too. She's the one who diagnosed me (I first saw her through my EAP, so those visits were free, but it will be WORTH the money). I still think Adderall has significantly improved things, but I have SUCH a way to go, still. Perhaps just the medication won't do it without also looking at behavioral issues, too.

Hi There, Medication issues are something best discussed with your doctor or a medical professional who has experience with ADHD medication.

You aren't alone in thinking that you've developed a tolerance. Dr, Larry Silver answered a similar question on Adderall tolerance in the expert Q&A on Additude.com.

Everyone reacts a little bit differently to different drugs. Typically Adderall lasts approximately 4-5 hours. Dr. Silver suggests experimenting with the time you take the Adderall. It may last longer for some people. It could be that you need to adjust the dose or take it at a different time of day. Again, discuss medication adjustments with your doctor. It could just take a little tweaking to get you back on track.

Good Luck, Dena

Hey, I've been having quite a similar problem like that before and then I came across a supplement called amphetarestore. Its manufacturer claims that it can effectively lower the body's dependency on drugs/medications and also acts as a detoxifying agent. I took a gamble and bought a 1 month supply from their website and was taking it everyday together with my meds. At first I actually thought that it was just a scam, but I continued to take it (the hell I bought 30 capsules, so i might as well consume it). After 6 days, I noticed that I can really feel my meds kick in, that's the time I thought, maybe this amphetarestore is really helping and this is what it's suppose to do. After that, I experimented on lowering my meds dosages little by little and up to now, I'm taking all my meds at the lowest dosage. I still take amphetarestore everyday together with my drugs and still feel them kick in strong.
