Is It Safe Take More Doses Than Prescribed Of 15mg Adderall In A Day?

Greetings, I have a quick question about my 15mg Adderall IR that has been prescribed to me for use 3 times a day. Tomorrow I will be active an unusual amount of hours because of work. I will be up by 4 and most likely will be working until around 12 midnight, all of which I need to be free off my ADD symptoms. I understand that with each 15mg dose, it is best to space them out 4-6 hours. While also maintaining the 4-6 hour buffer, is it safe to take more than 3 in that 16 hour period? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for this query.

It is not advisable to take ore than the recommended daily dose of your medication. Always endeavor to take your medications as prescribed. Should you have any further worries, it is best to ask the prescribing doctor about it before going ahead to execute such a decision.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification should need be. Thanks for using our services.
