need help just started adderall How long does it take to tell if adderall is working. I'm on 10mg xr? My broyher says I seemed like a zombie but he only saw me one day.My muscles feel stiff will that go away in time? I don't want to take it for a month and get hooked if it doesn't work. I was wondering. If I should ask doc to up it sooner. Anyone have any insight? My counsleor said people with ADD don't get addicted to it is this true? Also I am a recovering addict am trying to be very carefull. I usto use alot years ago could I still have a tollerence to it. I was wondering if the dose wasn't enough.
