Hi. I'm a 35 year old female who has been taking Adderall for the last 5 years and I have now reached my maximum dosage(60 mgs). I was wondering what's the best medication to take now that my max dosage no longer has the desired effects. ie: loss of concentration, exhaustion, lack of energy, lack of focus and drive. Has anyone out there been where I am now? If so, what did your Dr. prescribe and did it work as well as Adderall? Thanks!!

Yea I would agree with iodo. Tolerence break would be your best option so that your not just blowing up the monster. However the answer to your question of what drug would be most likely to come next it would be dextroamphetamine. Which are awesome, a lot stronger han adderall, but some still prefer adderall.

Im afraid I'm inclined to side with the others who have commented.
Im going to assume this is from ADHD,
60mg of Adderall is a substantial dose(as I'm sure you're aware), however there are non stimulant medications that can be as effective, though I'm assuming you were prescribed those before ever getting to Adderall(most physicians won't prescribe amphetamines before exhausting other options).
Other than non stimulant meds there isn't really anything "stronger", you could try Ritalin(methylphenidate) but I'm not sure that it wouldn't be cross tolerant.
As far as dextroamphetamine I know that this is cross tolerant and id have to disagree with lookyboop as i find the adderall formulation considerably stronger than dextroamp.
So all things considered, if it isn't really difficult for you i think you should try to take a month break(or however long) from Adderall, then try taking a slightly lower dose 30mg or so and build up again from there
Good luck with everything!

Maybe take vyvanse 50mgs a day and a 30mg adderall for those days you need an extra push.

I would just like to say that Boupstarnm has a good idea, in my experience Vyvanse was much much more effective with me and it might be just want you're looking for

just a thought, but I saw a post the other day that said take a break, stock up on piracetam or it's other bigger brothers.
See if this works better, after 3 weeks or so it should work.
titrate downwards, then upwards. Many people swear by nootropics as less neurotoxic. Or at least they used to, I'm kinda outta the loop atm.

But something tells me she's using them for legitimate use. So yes, she can take a break if she was using them to party. But if she really needs and amp to keep adhd symptoms away, I'd suggest trying vyvanse as well. but i'm telling you right now. the same thing will happen that that. vyvanse can't be abused everyday. I don't know abou ttherapeutic doses everyday. But give it a try.
