Common Questions and Answers about Adderall dosage by body weight

At any rate, it is important to be in communication with her doctor. Dosage does have a partial dependency on body weight. The lighter you are (all other things being equal) the more it might effect you. I would assume the doctor has taken that into consideration.
Other thoughts. If she is in relays or jumping events it might help with her concentration, possibly even with starts.
t changed by body weight. A 300lb man can need 10mg adderall, while a 102lb scrawny teenager might need 40mg to get the same effect. There is no way to guess. So communicating with the doc is ESSENTIAL in this, because only the patient/parent can tell how well it is working. It's about getting the best results with the least side effects.
I took Adderall XR for six years and am currently 67 days clean. My dosage was 60-70 mg. I am 27 years old.
How long until my energy is back and I am feeling "normal" again? Anyone have personal experiences as far as that goes?
Also, how much weight did you gain and does it ever come off naturally? Any thoughts on metabolism?
Thanks, everyone.
Please help. My son is autistic. He has bowel issues. He can hold in an enema. He is on several meds. Adderall, Metformin, Risperdol, clonidine. I'm wondering if the weight gain is causing the adderall to be less effective. He's on 20mgs in the morning and 10mgs in the afternoon. He complains about he can't focus any more. It's making him very upset and very hard to deal with. I'm at my wits end. He will only deal with me. I feel like I'm a terrible mother.
I have a hunch the nausea is from a combination of eating less due to appetite suppression and a dosage of adderall that is too high, since I let my tolerance build back up? My bowel changes started when I started the new 20 mg XR. My main curiosity is if it affects my digestion like that, is it giving my body time to absorb nutrients from food and supplements. I guess can take my supplements 1 hr before Adderall or at QHS, which is one solution.
At this point I have found that eating more and getting at least two or three really good nights of sleep will restore the effect of adderall on normal dosage. Of course to get the good sleep you have to lower your dose of adderall for a day and don't take any after about 11:00 am in the morning they day you decide to get a good night of sleep. It also has to be natural sleep, no sleeping pills. I don't know why but 9 hours of sleep with sleeping pills does not do any good.
But typically doctors start you off at the lowest possible logical amount and then wait for feedback before upping the dosage. The 30mg adderall that you were on was probably an extended release version. It was bigger because it packed enough to last all day. Allergies are pretty rare, and if you had it, I think that you would know fairly rapidly. Remember, anxiety can easily cause breathing troubles (hyperventilating, etc.). Beers shouldn't be a problem.
s no one to talk to that understands. Been on Adderall for 2 weeks, taking 20 mg in the morning, 15 mg at noon then 10mg around 4. Love it but does anyone have any advice on dealing with the side effects? Main one is sleep, I think I slept 3 hours last night and thats turning into the normal. Also weight loss is great but I want it to be safe and so far it's been 9lbs in a week. Advice on eating? Food just doesn't sound good and literally have to choke it down when I do eat.
My dr prescribed Adderall 10mg 4 times a day. Just started today ( this morning) and not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I got through homework and class with amazing focus but now here it is at 9 and I'm sweating and grinding my teeth. Just want to hear how Adderall worked for everyone. Thanks!
Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems."
I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
I sounds to me like your friend just likes drugs. And since when is a family doctor competent to make the diagnosis of ADD? In any case she doesn't have it, judging by her reaction to Adderall. She is on speed (Adderall) for its own sake. She will probably be able to con her doctor, since she already has.
Why is it that my pupils become so extremely dilated after just a few hours of taking my daily morning dosage of one 20MG Adderall XR and one or two 5MG Adderall (Immediate Release) tablets???!!!!
It is terribly embarrassing to look anyone in the eye now. I never used to feel so self-conscious about my appearance & social acceptance/perception, etc.. It's like this drug is has turned me into walking & talking oxymoron of a person.
