I've been struggling recently with increasing side effects and reduced effectiveness with my Adderall treatment. For those of you on stimulants do the side effects even subside?

Also, how long did it take you to get to a dosage where you found the balance between tolerance and functionality

I cut caffeine out cold turkey when I started medication a few months ago. Now I only have it once a week and only a small cup, but I also take my medication later that day.

I was contemplating if I should go down, but I'm still struggling. The last two weeks have been kind of rough as far as how effective the medication seems and my doctor has slowly been moving me up 5-10 mg a month
