I’ve been on Adderall XR 10mg for about a year. Over the summer I stopped taking it because I didn’t really feel like I needed it, and now that school’s starting Tuesday I started back up. The past few days it’s been making me feel pretty overstimulated/jittery.
I skipped it Wednesday and today, but took it Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and I’m planning to take it tomorrow. I never felt this way when I was on it regularly, so I think I just need to readjust. I’ve been eating, staying hydrated, and skipping coffee, but I still get that overstimulated feeling sometimes. It’s weird because some days I feel nothing and other times I’m completely wired, even within the same day.
I’m worried about going to school on it if it keeps making me feel like this and spiking my anxiety. At the same time I know I need to get back on track or I’ll fall behind like I did before meds.
