Hey everyone, this is my first post here at bluelight!
Anyway, I was prescribed Adderall XR 20mg once a day in the morning and I took my first pill at 9:37AM today. I'm a 20 year old junior in college and was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD & Social Anxiety Disorder last Thursday. Due to my doc being lazy and my insurance being jerks I didn't get to start until today (Sunday)
I didn't really feel anything and as I'm typing now (12:24PM) It's almost 3 hours later. But, my friend called me and I was talking on the phone and noticed I didn't mind talking as much and I actually contributed more to the conversation and I was also on my laptop browsing the internet. Usually I can't multitask and let alone talk on the phone and do something else while still pay attention to the conversation.
My question is, how am I supposed to feel? I've taken adderall once before and it was 10mg IR and that gave me a euphoric rush and I definetly wanted to sit down and do my studying. I'm not feeling that euphoric rush with the XR. Now, granted this is my FIRST pill and it's been a whopping 3 hours but I'm still curious. I've been reading about potentiating the effects and I downed a teaspoon of baking soda in water about 15 minutes ago. I didn't do it before I took the pill because I didn't know about it so will this have any affect? Is there anything else I could try instead? Should I give it a week and see if I still don't notice anything radical and then call my doc?
Sorry for the long first post but I hope I made my questions clear.
Also just wanted to say this place rocks! It's great to have a community where people wanna help each other out!
