I’ve taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it’s not a lot, but I’m very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I’ll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.

I feel like I’m still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can’t follow through things to completion. What gives?

    While I’m not on Adderall, I am on a stimulant.

    The fuzzy, buzzy sensation is a sign you’re in overload. At least for me, the drugs are most effective when I can’t notice them, in the moment. When I look back on a day, however, I can easily see the effects.

    Also, my partner can tell if I’ve missed my meds or not, before I can.

      The fuzzy feeling I mentioned wasn’t a buzz, but brain fog and lack of focus. I know what you’re talking about, I didn’t get that that day.

      I wish I could rely on my partner for that, she would definitely notice. But alas, I work far from home.
