Hi guys! I have had mild ADD most of my life but recently it got really bad (attention span less than 5 minutes at a time, even for things I wanted to pay attention to). My psychiatrist started me on Adderall 10mg 2xdaily for a month. I took it religiously but after about a week my focus started to wane in class (which is where I need it!). I tried 10 mg 3x a day which was better, but the morning was still a struggle.
My doc upped my dosage to 40 mg daily, 20 in the morning, 10 around lunch, 10 before I leave school to come home and study. I've been on it like this four four days and my mouth has been very dry, which I'm used to. I drink a ton of water now Today, I noticed that my tongue was getting achy, because it keeps wiggling around over the inside of my teeth. I've been trying to hold it still but everytime I go back to focusing on my notes it starts again. I only took the 20 mg this morning and a 10 at 4 pm.
Is this a normal side effect? Should I cut down to 10 mg 3x daily again? Any tips on what to do for this? Please and thank you all!
