Start at 5mg XR, can increase by 5 mg every day until the desired effect is reached, up to 30mg XR to start, up to 60 mg XR eventually if necessarily, in 10 mg increments. | |||
Can occasionally go higher if no notable effects, good or bad, at 60 mg. Proceed with caution. | |||
If not long enough acting: can add tail dose of Adderall IR at [XR dose]/2. | |||
If too long acting (e.g. disrupting sleep), can switch to IR entirely (again at half the XR dose) | |||
