And body weight if you don't mind sharing. I've been on 10mg xr (Adderall) for 5 months and it's been helpful for me. I'm about 155lb, just up'd my dosage and got perscribed a 5mg ir dose to take as needed as well so I'll be taking 15mg a day.

What dose are you all on, I remember scrolling through a reddit thread a while ago and almost everybody was taking really large doses imo, like 30 - 40 mg a day. Maybe that's sorta normal, I dunno.

I have 10mg but usually take 5 around 9:30 and leave it at that, sometimes take the other half at noon if I feel I need it, but it usually affects my sleep when I do.

Weirdly, I go to bed earlier and end up waking between 2 and 4. Which sucks because i know I'll need a pill to go back to sleep but at that late hour it'll make me sleepy the whole day next day.
