The overdrive you describe is somewhat normal for someone who's never taken a stim. But perhaps you might want to consider taking half as much as you did today. And this feeling seems to persist, talk to your doc about it, since there's some concern over bipolar; as a stim might trigger a reaction.
But by and large, I think most people can have a lightbulb experience on their first stim try; over time, this fades.
I personally do not like Adderall any more, especially the XR. After a couple of years, Adderall made me depressed and somewhat shakey. There's anotehr thread here discussing the difference in mood effects of the two stims.
Also, just FYI: Dexadrine is a LOT kinder on my skin. I have skin reactions to almost all meds, including asperin. So if you find that Adderall causes you any skin probs, dex is likely tol be a good alternate option.
