Ok, so I'll try to make this post short and sweet. I got a short term script for Adderall. from my GP for ..15 mg. bid until I get my pdoc to send or write a letter to my gp that I need Adderall...till I can see the pdoc. He started me with 15 mg bid till i see the pdoc. In the past I was rx'ed 20mg tid. I am taking extra doses for Atypical depresssiogenic depression and low motivation , fatigue and etc. Because of my supposed mixed states, My pdoc(s) do not want to RX me the Adderall. so I got a very nice but controlled repreive from my Gp at 15 mg bid. I am hoping for my pdoc or pdocs to see things my way at 20mg T.I.D. Yes, I have been taking 15 mg anywhere from 15mg bid to 15 mg 4 x per day to help my symtoms. MY GP was going to reluctantly RX me 15 MG of Adderall XR QD..... and past experience has helped me figure out this prep of this med...in my body is metabolized to quickly so I did get the GP to RX me 15 MG of Reg. Adderall bid til I can get back to my pdocs. In any bodys;' opinion, what do you all consider a good dosage of the standard version of Adderall for effective symptom management of the aforemntioned symptoms! I do know everyone is different. But he said 20 mg tid is a whopped of a dose ..So lucky enough to get him to write the RX for 1 to 2 months at 15mg -bid I said cool. BTW I am 38 and weigh around 230-240-lbs. I just beleive that I am dosing more than needing because I am not responding to 15mg bid. I am not abusing it, but it does help me with the mentioned symtoms . Just some feed back would be great . thanks.!
btw I am on FXR 300mg qd. 100mg metoprolol (for hypertension) which could be directly related to my high anxiety , and .5mg of Klonopin tid and 600mg of Tri-leptal --bid and some othe non-psych meds. Like I said just need some input into what to say to doc and or pdoc in the near future ..I just really belive I do not respond well to the current dose schedule cuz of my Gp's cautious dose RX!
Thanks again- any and all replies will be appreciated an dmaybe get you a free holiday ham or turkey!! (jk!) lol--:)
