So, I started Adderall on Thursday. The doctor said to start at 10 mg of the XR per day and titrate up from there. The first two days were awesome. The next few days, I started having progressively worse panicky, sad, depressed feelings in the afternoon. I 've been three days at the 20 mg dose and today I had a full-scale freak out/meltdown. I couldn't function or think, I was in terrible pain and freaking out, and I really thought I was going to end up going to the ER or hurting myself.
My question is, can these stimulants build up in your system over a period of days? Because I thought they just went away after eight hours or so and you started fresh the next day. But I'm getting progressively worse.
Should I drop back down to 10 and titrate up very slowly, or just stop taking it for a few days to see if things change? The episode this afternoon was scary.
