No: The dose of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is dependent on clinical response. Although the 30mg dose is the largest dose submitted to the food and Drug Administration, the dose does not take into consideration absorption , metabolism and excretion. Therefor doctors often exceed that dose when caring for individual patients.
