Hi, I am a 29 year old female and I have been put on aderall one week ago for add. I have never been before on medication. I am healthy adn have no allergies or heart problems. I was given 15 mg twice a day, but it had no effect on me at all passed the first day. The first night i could not sleep, adn had more energy, though not much more focused, but by the next day it lost all effect. after three days, my doctor told me to try doubling the dosage which i did today- taking 15 mg in teh morning and then thirty mg at once. Nothing. Absoltuely nothing. My doctor did not believ me. He said if I was add- it shoudl effect me somehow, adn if I wasn t really ADD- it give me a high. The only and only effect i have been havingat all is a decrease in appetite. I still eat, but less. Other than that it s as if i am on nothing at all; i do not have extra energy, or more concentration, or feel any faster or calmer or nausous. Can this be explained?
