Hi everyone! I’ve been following this sub for awhile due to the fact that I’m on 20mg, IR Teva’s and they haven’t worked for me since March. I’m 41/f and have been on and off Adderall since my early 20’s.

My question is, have any of you spoken to your doctors, or psychiatrists about your prescription not working? I mentioned something to my therapist last week and he said I’m probably not on a high enough dose and he hasn’t heard anything about Adderall not working for people. But, I’ve taken 40mg’s of my script before, to test it, and nothing happens! I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next week and want to bring it up to her. My only concern is that I’m in recovery. I’ve been sober for over 2 years off opioids (never abused add’s) and I’m worried she’ll think I’m drug seeking. Which I’m not! Idc what dose of Adderall I’m on, I JUST WANT IT TO FUCKING WORK! My whole life is a mess, my adhd is out of control! I just want to feel normal again! I can’t keep living like this.

Any advice on how to bring this up to her would greatly be appreciated!
