Hello everyone. My first post here.
So, I am legally prescribed Adderall for ADHD. I normally take one 20 mg XR. However, I had a ridiculous amount of work and had to pull an all-nighter. Caffeine has no effect on me, I've been prescribed Modafinil for chronic sleepiness and THAT has no effect either, and I can even take Adderall and fall asleep. But tonight, I decided to take more Adderall because of all the work I have. What I've taken:
12:55 PM: 20 XR
8:50 PM-2AM: 20 IR (divided throughout the hours)
6:20 AM: 5 IR (planning on adding more, as needed)
I haven't been eating much. I literally can't eat. I've gotten maybe... a little less than 800 calories in over 24 hours. It's not intentional, I just cannot eat. At any moment where I feel able, I eat. I ate about 2-3 hours ago, and then thought I was going to puke. I feel a little better now, though. I'm drinking PowerRade every so often. I'm thinking about taking a multivitamin when I feel like eating (although I heard there can be an interaction between Adderall and vitamin C?)
I want to know if it's okay for me to keep taking Adderall - perhaps up to 120 mg (I heard that's the maximum?), although I don't intend to go THAT far, I only want to take as much as I need to stay awake and keep working.
I also want to know what I should do afterwards. I'll probably be home between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and I will probably sleep. Hopefully. Assuming I'm not still wired up from the Adderall, and that I'm not having a massive breakdown (I have severe depression, although my antidepressants generally keep it under control, but with this amount of Adderall I imagine I'll have a hellish comedown that I am dreading). So should I really just sleep as much as I need? What should I do the day after/the next few days, if anything? I could try to take less, or even no Adderall at all, but because of my ADHD + depression (Adderall helps my motivation. I literally have to force myself to take it on weekends, or I get nothing done) that might cause some problems. Thoughts?
