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?

I've been in close contact with my doctor. She prescribed 10 mg with the possibility of a second 10mg dose before 2 pm as needed. It's still the first month, so I'm taking it slow. The pills are not extended release, and come with scores to break them in half, so that's what I've been doing.
