should adults on adderall take it every day or just when working
The best dose will be the lowest possible dose that works. A child older than 5 who is taking Adderall for ADHD would typically start with a dose of 5 milligrams (mg) and increase it gradually to 30 mg. A typical dose for an adult with narcolepsy may start at 5 mg and increase to 60 mg. You can take Adderall and Adderall XR with or without food. People usually take Adderall tablets every four to six hours during the day. People take Adderall XR capsules once a day, in the morning.
