For over 6 weeks I’ve been trying this. Taking a small dose of Adderall XR – about 2/3rds of a 5mg capsule one day, and taking none or a lesser dose of about 1/3 the next day. I’ve been getting good results. I’m feeling perky, motivated and mood elevated at least every other day this way. I try and tackle the hard to start tasks and goals on the up day and then coast on momentum, or just expect a little less the day after. On the lesser day I don’t feel bad or withdrawn – just normal. I also take Lexapro and Neurontin (daily) and believe they are part of the good results through some king of complementary interaction. The Lexapro is pretty activating just by itself. I’ve had my ups and downs in this. Sometimes even on the strong dose day the effect just doesn’t kick in much. Once I took 2 days off (on a very minimal dose) and then next day took my 3-4 mg “big dose” and still I hardly felt a good thing. And I thought well I’ve grown tolerant and the rides over. Its back to TRD. But I slacked off the next day, and then the day after that the amphetamine/dopamine perked-up-pleasurable effect was back again.
