How bad are everyone else's side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren't bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or tricks to dealing with stuff like that.

I take 10mgIR in the morning and 10mgIR in the afternoon. There is appetite suppression, but not bad. The strangest side effect is sleeping in on the weekends--before Adderall, I hadn't been able to sleep past 7 for many years. Now, I can easily sleep until noon. There are much worse side effects, but it's bit annoying to waste a good portion of my day off sleeping.

I assume you're not taking it at a "normal" time on the weekend (like morning time during the week)?

I would if I were awake, but nope... 😒 It's not a normal sleep, I just don't wake up. I usually take a dose in the afternoon, though.
