    Those are one of the side effects but the dosage seems to high if you are still feeling the effects in the afternoon. One question though at what time do you take it in the morning?

    You are right adderal is like taking cocaine and causes addictions to other drugs and alcohol. There are natural herbs that can treat add. My son is in rehab now to deal with having taken adderal for 5 years.
