Just Started Taking Adderall 20 Mg Xr
Posted over a year ago
Does the feeling like you are ready to jog around the block 80 times go away. I feel more hyper than I did before I started taking this. How long does this last. I was told I would feel normal. I took it at 7am and it is now 11am and stil feel like this. Can anyone help??
Biochemnerd - Did your doctor begin your prescription at 20 Mg? It may be that you have too much amphetamine running through your blood, which can cause an increased heart rate, feelings of hyper-ness, flushing of the face, etc. You may just need a smaller dosage to begin with, and not extended release Adderall.
The reason you are still feeling incredibly active is because the medicine is extended release, so once the first 1/2 of the medicine wears off the other 1/2 "kicks in".
I myself have been taking adderall for a year now and I only take 10 mg twice a day, but generally on most days I cut the pills in half and just take 5 mg. You might want to ask your doctor to give you a smaller dose, and a dose that is not extended release. Hope this helps.
