Adderall IR & XR Explained

Adderall is the brand name for a prescription medication most commonly used for symptoms associated with ADHD and ADD. A Schedule II controlled substance, Adderall is the combination of two pre-existing stimulants: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. With the right amount of dosage, Adderall has been shown to treat symptoms such as hyperactivity and inattention, traits that are commonly associated with ADD/ ADHD. The use of Adderall has thus allowed patients to better handle and control their symptoms.

There are two types of Adderall that can be prescribed: Adderall IR (Immediate Release) and Adderall XR (Extended Release). Both types have equal dosage options, with minor differences. Adderall IR can be taken within a 24-hour time frame multiple times in equally-divided doses, whereas Adderall XR can only be taken once per day. The doses included for both are:

  • 5 mg (IR and XR)
  • 7.5 mg (IR only)
  • 10 mg (IR and XR)
  • 15 mg (IR and XR)
  • 20 mg (IR and XR)
  • 25 mg (XR only)
  • 30 mg (IR and XR)

Precautions About Adderall

 

Dosage Options for Adderall in Miami

The effects of IR are usually felt within an hour, but since everyone’s body is different, the actual time frame can vary. If you don’t find yourself having any effects, it could be something in your body that is preventing the medication from working, such as a substantial amount of vitamin C. It can help to take the medication an hour before eating and before taking any vitamin C. In some cases, you just may need a higher dosage, so contact your physician if you feel this may be the case.

The right Adderall dosage can vary from person to person since both children and adults can be prescribed the medication. The dosage will be prescribed by your physician, and while a low dosage is common when starting out, it can be increased if needed. Dosage variation on a single individual becomes more normalized once they reach adulthood; prior to this, the dosage can vary from year to year. Because of this, it’s recommended that the prescription for children be reviewed once per year.

While children can safely take Adderall, the ages differ with regard to Adderall IR and XR. As per the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), no children under three years can take IR, and no children under six years can take XR.

Symptoms for Taking Adderall

The exact symptoms related to ADD/ ADHD are not always clear, so it helps to understand if you may experience these symptoms, which would then allow you to be prescribed Adderall. Disorganization, fidgeting, lack of focus, and forgetfulness are among the symptoms that can be treated by Adderall, along with excessive talking and general anxiety.

The symptoms can also vary among individuals, depending on their sex and age. Children can be harder to diagnose, due to the uncertainty of whether or not their behavior can be connected to symptoms related to ADD/ ADHD or narcolepsy. Adults, as well as older teens, can be easier to diagnose, but it can still vary from person to person, such as younger boys and girls exhibiting different symptoms from each other.

Adderall Side Effects

 

It’s also important to remember the side effects that come from taking Adderall. These include dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, dry mouth, an increase in blood pressure, and anxiety. Along with these sorts of side effects, there’s the added danger of addiction. Due to the euphoric feeling it can provide, some people may find themselves dependent on Adderall, and this can lead to abuse. It’s possible that taking Adderall may not be the best solution for you, in that case, you should always talk with your physician as to whether this is true, and which alternatives exist in place of Adderall.
