You didn't say what form of Adderall you are taking... Are you taking the IR tabs or the XR capsules (the ones with the beads)? If you are taking the IR tablets, you really *have* to take them twice a day - one when you get up and the second about 4 hours later - because this drug only lasts 5-6 hours.

If you're only taking one in the morning, this is why you feel so sleepy in the evening.

If you are taking two, and by 20mg you meant 10mg twice daily, or 20mg XR form, you may need to increase your dosage. In adults, taking 40-60mg/day is not uncommon.

My best dosage is between 40 and 50mg/day, with approx. 1/3 of the dose in the morning and 2/3 at noon, to overcome the same-day tolerance effect. When I started Adderall, I responded very well to only 20mg in equally divided doses - after about four weeks, my body needed more.

So try a greater dose, and be sure that you're dosing twice daily!

Good luck...
