After the nicotine is gone, and the brain stops releasing the positive neurotransmitters, smokeless tobacco users feel tired, depressed, and down. Nicotine also causes the brain to release a chemical called dopamine. Other very addictive drugs like cocaine make the brain release dopamine, too.
The short acting form of Adderall is taken by patients twice a day in tablet form. The recommended starting dose for children 3 to 5 years of age 2.5 mg daily; children 6 years or older is 5 mg once or twice daily. Depending on the individual, an adultâs usual dose is 5 mg to 60 mg daily.
The best dose will be the lowest possible dose that works. A child older than 5 who is taking Adderall for ADHD would typically start with a dose of 5 milligrams (mg) and increase it gradually to 30 mg. A typical dose for an adult with narcolepsy may start at 5 mg and increase to 60 mg. You can take Adderall and Adderall XR with or without food. People usually take Adderall tablets every four to six hours during the day. People take Adderall XR capsules once a day, in the morning.
