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.
When in the judgment of the clinician a lower initial dose is appropriate, patients may begin treatment with 5 mg once daily in the morning. The maximum recommended dose for children is 30 mg/day; doses greater than 30 mg/day of ADDERALL XR have not been studied in children. ADDERALL XR has not been studied in children under 6 years of age.
