Answers:
I take adderall as well and i've accidentally taken an extra dose before!. Adderall is a stimulant, so it raises your heart rate and makes you kind of shaky, much like when you drink too much caffeine!. If you are feeling that you are not getting the full potential of your medication, you should ask your doctor to up your dose!. They'll usually raise it by 5 or 10 mgs!. at a time!. That's what i do when i feel like my body is becoming "prone" to my medication!. But your lightheadedness and feeling of panic should go away once your pill is worn off, and nothing should happen to you!.

Sounds like you need to call your prescribing physician!. You are self-dosing, and you are not going to find the answers you're looking for here!. If you're not "feeling the full potential of the medication", your physician needs to be made aware, and you can start with just a phone call to the office and explain to the nurse what is going on with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try taking melatonin if you have any!. It costs about 6 dollars at a grocery store, and has always helped me!. And if your worried for your health right now, don't be!. I've taken almost 200 mg before and was fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I know you said no lectures but, never EVER change a dose of a prescription on your own!. You should call your doctor's office and ask their advice!. This is not something to fool around with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try to drink lots of water and flush your system out!. i dunno if it will help but its worth a shot!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
