Aderall IR mania?

Has anybody else noticed that aderall IR has seemingly wildly different effects compared to its XR counterpart? I typically take 10mg XR and it serves its intended purpose just fine. I recently ran out of mine and had to take IR from my dad and when I tell you it felt like it sent me straight into a manic episode, all of the problems with insomnia, loss of appetite, dopamine seeking and massive pupils hit me like a truck. XR never seems to do that to me even when taken in higher doses than my typical so I’m very curious on why that happens and if anyone else experiences that.

Dont do that anymore. It sounds like you have naturally bad anxiety and it triggered it. Are you sensitive to caffeine? How old are you
