Adderall XR + Adderall IR?!
Question: Adderall XR + Adderall IR?
So last December, I was put on Clonazepam and Xanax for anxiety issues (mainly social anxiety). I never really noticed much difference when on the drugs. So, about a month ago, I saw a psychologists instead of my psychiatrist, and she actually said she thought I had ADHD-PI moreso than anxiety. So, I saw my psychiatrist and asked to be put on Adderall XR. It changed my life for the better.
Now, only after a month of being on it, I am already getting tolerance to it ( I am on the 20mg once in the morning ). I was wondering if I asked to stay on the 20 mg XR and then complement it with a 10 or 20 mg IR around noon, if that would be beneficial or not. Would a pychiatrist do this?
Thanks =D

Answers:
A psychiatrist likely wouldn't mix the two- but you could go on IR twice a day and see if that helps. THe half life of XR is only 5-6 hours.
Also- a month isn't normally long enough to build a tolerance. I've been taking the same dose for over 10 years. It could mean that you are becoming addicted to it. Better to be safe than sorry.
I take Adderall XR
