Advice & Tips
Take it with magnesium. The main focusing effects last longer...like a lot longer. The side effects don't get greater or last all that much longer. So I think its a pretty safe thing. Plus, you never get the amount of magnesium you need anyway.
Be prepared to be "UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC". Also, any amounts of caffeine will make you hyper.
Avoid eating or drinking anything acidic 1hr before or 2hrs afterward as it will lower the absorption of the chemical into your bloodstream. Anything basic has the opposite effect - causing side effects to worsen.
Overall... It's a very useful thing. It's just uncomfortable at first, and I'm still adjusting to it.
don't skip doses, don't take more than prescribed, if taking twice a day, take second dose before 2:00p.m., more effective if taken on an empty stomach.
Adderall was way too much of a stimulant for me, even at a half dose. I may have gotten used to it, but got heart palpitations one day and stopped taking it completely. I only took it for one week

Advice & Tips
1. I am retired and enjoy staying awake about 19 hrs/day (two naps), sometimes I will do a full "night's" sleep during the day. No problem finding things to do: cooking, internet, grocery store at 3,4, or 5 in the morning.
2. Significant weight loss but it made me feel even better.
3. Decreased libido. Used to read much more. Due to my erratic lifestyle I sometimes fail to attend family things which I don't mind but others do. I've always been a loner, the medication feeds it, which I also don't mind.
Initially (12 mos), I dropped 35 lbs. Since, have gained back 10-12; but, felt much better at lighter weight mood-wise.

Woo Hoo! Good stuff!
Oh No! Too Good!
I told my Doc I was having too much fun on this med and was on the verge of addiction. I gave him what was left in my bottle, and said GOODBYE TO AMPHETAMINES.
