> There are no good guidelines for determining what is the best dose of ADD medication for any individual. Trial and error are required. However, the maximum dose of Adderall is thought by many doctors, including the Harvard University ADD Group, to be 3/4 of a milligram per pound of body weight (120 mg per day for a 160 pound person). The maximum dose for Ritalin is thought by many doctors to be 1 milligram per pound of body weight (160 mg per day for a 160 pound person.) While these maximum doses are considerably higher than the 60 mg per day approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and more than most people need, some people do not get much benefit from doses of 60 - 80 mg per day. Please work with your doctor to find the correct dose for you.Spot on, My doc has me on 1 mg per KG! too low!! 70mg bw- i need 120mgs, im fuki* tired of running out early and hav been refered to a specialist. I know a narcoleptic on 60mgs Adderall 4x day. 240mgs daily. maybe Dex will be better.
The PDR is a legal document not a threaputic one. there should be some flexability.
