A member asked:

I feel like my prescribed adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) has stopped effecting me? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tell the prescriber: People may develope tolerance to psychostimulants, meaning that the effect which they once received may diminish over time. Sometimes a dosage readjustment is needed; sometimes switching to a different medical regimen is indicated.
