What Is The Dosage Of Adderall?

Hi, I have been prescribed Adderall. For over one yr now. I finally am on the right Mediation since the dopamine Adderall releases provides significant relief from my chronic depression. Since age 13 I have been on every antidepressant possible with little effect. I was also lethargic, tired and overweight during these years. How can I properly ask my Dr to increase my dose? I have always required more than I am allotted for each month

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The pattern of requirement indicates that you are very susceptible for addiction with Adderall. I understand that your need was always higher but this also indicates that there is little self control and patience. Adrenal as a medication needs time to act properly and early increase in dosage brings about negative changes.

Hope I have answered your query.
