Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): The maximum FDA recommended dose of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is 60 mg daily. Taking a higher dose of a medication, if not prescribed by your doctor, is not only dangerous but basically illegal since this is a highly controlled medication. It is a sign of tolerance and could mean you are at risk of addiction. See your doctor for assistance and be careful.

Chronic overdosing : on Adderall at age 50 warrants a visit to your primary physician &, possibly, to a cardiologist.Non-stimulant medications - Intuniv, Strattera (atomoxetine) & Kapvay can be used as adjuncts with stimulants. New diagnostic evaluations by your psychiatrist & psychologist for comorbid conditions are warranted because your symptoms are not responding to safe doses of stimulants.
