I took four 20mg adderall XR tablets through the day, did I overdose?

hi cacr783... i'm danni, and i am currently prescribed and taking two 20 mg XR every morning... this is 40 mg with the first half releasing pretty much in the first half of my morning (i take it around 7am) and for me, it runs a bit short of the 8-10 hours i'm told by my doctor is lasts... by quite a bit, but everybody metabolizes CNS stimulants in their own way, and im a fast metabolizing kind of person...

when i say i feel it in the first half of my day, this is my experience, and i do have increased energy, feel an overall alertness, my attention to detail isn't forced and my mood is good, not a buzzy euphoria like i felt mildy my first month or so, but a good mood, can't think of the right word... stable and positive...

Expand this post...

i have had a few days in the last 3 months or so, where against my better judgement, i took a 3rd pill in the afternoon... i can use work as an excuse, but it's a crappy excuse, however, i was able to more productively finish out my work days (i had 12 hours on these particular days, unplanned for)... but i struggled to sleep those nights and even my melatonin didn't cut it... i eventually got 2-3 hour sleep and the next day was rough, but i made up my mind after the 3rd time that i was going to ask my doc about an adderall IR to take in the afternoon for when the XR fades out on me... I presented my case and she was agreeable to it. I have established a decent relationship with her and tend to be pretty blunt, so that was that. the adderall shortage right now really sucks in my area, so i am not able to get the only good adderall IR there is, Sandoz. I have had core pharma (awful awful garbage in my humble opinion), crossed over to generic dexedrine 5 mg IR, and now i am taking the Barr 20 mg IR, and after a week, it's effects are minimal, but i'm letting the placebo effect content me until sandoz is back : ( it does help a little, and its definitely better than taking a 3rd XR for me, because the unpredictability of the XR can be frustrating at times, and the 3rd one made it more difficult. I imagine 4 would definitely be a high dosage for the XR, but i wouldn't necessarily call it an "overdose"...

U said u felt "strung out", which doesn't tell me much, but i will assume u mean u kinda bugging out and maybe jumpy, jammed up feeling, restless, and probably some anxiety going on... doesn't sound like an overdose, just a lesson learned that 4 isn't a good idea for u... 3 is a prescribed daily dose for some, so u only took 1 more than that, this time... try to not make a habit of that... u didn't seem to like how u felt, and unless it's prescribed to u that way by your doc, it's just bad. Never feel afraid to talk to your doc about the possibility of tweaking your dose, or maybe adding an IR med if that's something u think could be good for u and your doc is down with that... good luck and be safe.
