One user mentioned that they switched to the short-release version of their medication and found it more helpful than XR as it allowed for better control over periods of activity. Another user shared that they had a similar experience with Adderall XR wearing off midday, so their psychiatrist prescribed them a 10mg IR to take between 12 and 2, which made a huge difference. As for the feeling of meds not being as effective after a few months, one user suggested talking to your doctor about possibly upping the dose or trying a different medication. Another user pointed out that this could be due to getting used to functioning better on the medication.
