Does anyone have a problem with tolerance to aderrall, and needing more and more with time?

Dr. Muhammad Munir answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

ADHD: Its not the tolerance with these meds as a lot of folks think.The short acting medications do need to be taken more and some times cause a 'crash" when levels drop.New gen medications are better with longer coverage and less cardiac effects especially for adults please discuss with your psychiatrist about these options.
