Adderall XR Abuse

I'm prescribed 30 mgs. of Adderall XR once a day. As of late, I've been having some issues with Adderall abuse. What happens is, I have a very strong urge/impulse to double up on them in the morning. When I do, I become completely engrossed in whatever I'm doing and I'm unable to pull myself away. I know I should be taking care of my responsibilities instead of screwing around on the internet. I'm just so engrossed though. Hours go by, responsibilites are not taken care of, and I'm beginning to feel less and the crash is kind of a bummer. I start to reason with myself--If you take another Adderall, you'll able to take care of your responsibilities tonight. I end up popping another Adderall. Sometimes I don't even sleep at night because I've taken so much Adderall! I'm not being productive though; I'm screwing around.


What am I supposed to do? I hate myself right now.

Were you not prescribed clonopin, great at curbing the affects when taking higher doses at night. I had vyvanase and was taking too much, it seemed 10x stronger than any others, bad idea taking too much, esp. if u have unknown heart issues. I stopped cold turkey no problem, but the clonopin was a nightmare stopping.

You're doubling up a high dose. You should try to decrease it bit by bit until your normal dose in a period of six months. Try to do it soon, you're body builds up a tolerance pretty fast.

I sympathize. I love me some Adderall. Maybe you can keep yourself from doubling up if you think about running out and not being able to get a refill.
