My prescription says every 4 hours, during the hours you are awake. Most people I talk to with ADD take it twice a day only. It depends on your specific needs and how your doctor prescribed it. You DO have a prescription, don't you?

Does medicine prescribed every 4 hours means in a 12 hour day or a 24 hour day?

It depends on the amount of the medication - If the medication is in higher dosages it may mean you can take only one tab every 4 hours up to 12 hours. Meaning you can only take the dosage 4 times. If its a lower dose you may be called to take it every 4 hours for 24 hours.


What lasts longer Generic Adderall or Adderall XR?

Adderall XR lasts longer. The XR stands for extended release and lasts around 8-12 depending on the consumer, mg, & tolerance. Generic Adderall which is actually Adderall IR (Instant Release) only lasts for a few hours (about 4 depending on the mgs) because Adderall XR is made from 2 different "beads" which one type releases automatically n the other type releases in about 4 hours so in the end Adderall xr lasts about 8 - 12 hours. When you pay for the Adderall XR you are paying for the extended release feature. SO Adderall XR lasts longer than Adderall IR.
