I started 10mg of adderall xr a couple weeks ago, but it didn't affect me at all. My mind was still full, not racing but it still had many thoughts. I still talked a lot and I was easily distracted, and I was still really fidgety and hyper because I have combined adhd. I noticed that when I drank a lot of caffeine with it, it helped. I had an appointment with my doctor the next day and let her know of this, and she said that the adderall working with caffeine simply meant that I needed a higher dose. I started 20mg xr today, and like all of my symptoms have lowered but not completely disappeared. For example, it's still hard to concentrate on things I hate (history) and I still fidget a lot. Moreover, my head isn't completely quiet like everybody describes, but its definitely a difference. I'm still distracted, not to the extent i was before, but still distracted. Does this sound pretty routine? Is this what I should've expected?
