Varies: Dosage for any stimulant varies widely across individuals--so much so that the only real way to decide on best dose is to try several, balancing increased benefit against emerging side effects. For adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) the range usually is somewhere between 5 to 30 mg--& size, age, & gender have little effect. Once you find the dose, though, it should stay about there, maybe increasing if you get bigger.

Just what is needed: One should only dose for therapeutic effect. If the current dose manages one's symptoms well then there is no need to increase the dose- going up on the dose then would possibly improve things very little and increase the risk of side effects.
