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.

Not currently taking, just tested few years ago. Was somewhere between 90-100kg at the time.

Only concerta(long release) was available. Tried from 18mg to 72mg(max 54+18) and even went beyond max safe dosage in my own up to 160mg. Only thing it did was raise my heart rate eventually, make palms sweaty and significant hit on a wallet because max allowed dosage is 72mg while only 54mg is sold. So had to buy 2 bottles, each costing around 55-60€ with absolutely no government or insurance support. Most expensive M&M candies I've ever bought and last straw in trying to get therapy for ADHD. No noticable mental benefits or any effects whatsoever.
