How do you get the best results from adderall xr?

We're not here to help you get high, mc22, we're just here to help you do it safely if you choose to do so. In general it is best to take your prescription meds as prescribed!

I have no experience in Adderall I'm afraid..

ps I've edited your title to make it clearer what you are asking.
 
For therapeutic use, take it as directed. If your doctor didn't make this clear, you should take it on days when you do need to focus - so probably not taking it on weekends, for example - in order to reduce tolerance buildup.

For recreational use, break the time release (crush it to dust) and eat it, or if you must, snort it (snorting adderall, particularly the XR, is not recommended unless your tolerance is really low and hence you're taking small amounts of it, the pills contain too much inert crap that just clogs up your nose, and blocks the inevitable redose from getting to where you want it); be aware that abusing adderall will raise your tolerance and make it less effective for therapeutic use, and you shouldn't abuse it if you have ADD and need it to be effective at work/school.

Everyone I know, including myself, who has tried to abuse the XR has found it to qualitatively worse (with a less favorable physical-crap-to-mental-high ratio) than an equivilent dose of the instant release adderall, despite the fact this makes no sense from a logical perspective (as the active constituents are the same and present in the same ratio) - yet it's observed consistently enough that I can't ignore it. I find the XR to be useless for recreation, while I do enjoy instant release adderall (not enough to make it worth the comedown, but at least there's recreational value there, while I can't say the same of the XR)

i prefer tablets. when i crush the XR beads in fine powder, i get a high faster when taken orally, and it lasts not as long, worse comedown, euphoria is better tho.
 
The best advice I can give is to stick to a regular dose. Chasing the high with amphetamines by increasing dosage will only lead to an uncomfortable tolerance that can only result in bad side-effects.

Lowering your stomach PH by taking tums can help reduce some of the break down of amphetamine before it reaches the blood stream.

Yes- crushing up the XR beads will decrease the amount of time for it to reach peak levels in your blood. Also drinking a caffeinated beverage I have found completely makes the difference between stimulation/concentration and euphoria.
