I've been taking Adderall xr 15mg for three weeks. First couple of days I felt sleepy, groggy, third and fourth days i felt a surge of physical well-being, as well as focused , and a balanced state of mind. However, all that lasted another couple of days. After the first week of Adderall xr 15mg, i felt nothing. It's been three weeks now, and I still feel nothing. I am going to ask my doc to switch to Vyvanse. However, i know that 10mg of Axr is = to 30mg of Vyvanse. But if i'm taking 15 mg of Axr, how much Vyvanse should I take to equal the Axr dose? But, aside from that, do you all think I should stay on the Axr a bit longer? give it a little more time to work? i've read that sometimes it takes over a month to kick in. thanks!
I am on vyvanse and wanting to switch to addy because it also wore off at highest dose.adderall has been proven to be stronger.u are at a low dose so i would increase it and stay with it!

Yes, it can take over a month for these medications to take their full effect. You will need to discuss this with your doctor to see if he advises switching or staying with it for a longer period of time.
Adderall is a psychostimulant containing mixed amphetamine salts, it is commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.
