And body weight if you don't mind sharing. I've been on 10mg xr (Adderall) for 5 months and it's been helpful for me. I'm about 155lb, just up'd my dosage and got perscribed a 5mg ir dose to take as needed as well so I'll be taking 15mg a day.

What dose are you all on, I remember scrolling through a reddit thread a while ago and almost everybody was taking really large doses imo, like 30 - 40 mg a day. Maybe that's sorta normal, I dunno.

40mg vyvanse + 2.5-5mg addy in the mornings to help get my ass out of bed. But I generally skip both on the weekends / vacations unless I have stuff I really want/need to get done.

40 isn’t a large dose - iirc it’s squarely in the middle of available dosages (10-70, increments of 10mg)
