adderall is a amphetamine. are you taking it for ADHD? can you take ten mg in the morning and ten in mid afternoon? if it's not working for you...don't take it! there's also Vyvance. you could talk to your doctor about that. my daughter takes 30mg of adderall and it works fine for her. make sure you DO NOT drink coffee, soda, or energy drinks while taking this. just discuss these issues with your doctor. adderall may not be for you. good luck.
