A member asked:

What to do if i'm prescribed to 20mg adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) xr once daily. is it ok for me to take another about 6-8 hours later?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This is likely to last too long and affect sleep. I would sometimes just increase the am dose and it might last longer, or add non xr in the afternoon or take the second about 4 hours later. Another solution is to augment with strattera (atomoxetine). Discuss with your prescriber.
