I was prescribed adderall xr 15mg by my doctor. I was shocked by how much it worked the first day. I wrote an entire paper without getting up or loosing focus. (Maybe I was fooling myself by expecting it to work?) But it hasn't been effective since then. I'm on day 4 or 5 now and everything seems just like it was before the med.

Could I need a higher dose? Is it possible I don't really have A.D.D. and there has been something else causing my problems all these years?

Also, how do i verbalize the severity of my lack of focus to my doctor? He seems to think that since I'm a college student, i'm only using this as a crutch. It's very frustrating.


Thanks for any answers in advance!
