I've taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it's not a lot, but I'm very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I'll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.

I feel like I'm still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can't follow through things to completion. What gives?

The only thing I notice when I'm on Adderall (also 15 mg) is that my brain is quiet. All the thoughts are still flying around, but they're much more muted. I'm able to actually focus on what I'm doing. It's a completely passive feeling for me.
