severe crashes during comedown to the point I felt like a zombie, the medication (XR) was also wearing off too quickly (5 hrs-ish). I almost gave up on adderall and was planning to switch to a non-stimulant. Then, I saw a comment on this sub that said take high protein-good fat breakfast BEFORE the medication. I mean I always had high protein breakfast but after taking adderall. The day I switched to BEFORE and wait 20-30mins before adderall, the crashes disappeared. Now the comedown is really smooth, and I’m still functional through it. The same dose lasts 8-10 hrs now. I also find that higher protein (25-30g) makes it even smoother. Just want to give back to this sub that has been a massive help to me. submitted by /u/ps635 [link] [comments]
