I was on adderall XR for a year and it’s a slippery slope. I built a tolerance quick and reached a point where I couldn’t up it anymore and eventually got off of it. I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to *convince* a doctor to up a medication that’s addictive in nature. It never ends. You’ll always need more. Just my 2 cents.

Eventually you can just slip in a comment like "it doesn't seem as effective", but this can also backfire.

Like riri said it's not the best idea and once you demonstrate drug seeking behavior most docs will cut you off.

If I had 20mg I would be more than happy with that personally.

Yeah that too. Some doctors are very sensitive to anything that seems like drug seeking behavior. I had a doc years ago who wouldn’t fill a prescription 2 days early when I was going in vacation.
