Depends. Any form of immediate release prescription can be taken two or more times a day...depending on the dosage. For example, Adderall IR 10mg is taken two times a day (20mg a day), where as Adderall IR 15mg is taken 15 times a day (45mg per day)....but it also depends on the individual themselves...they may not need the full dosage.
Extended release drugs such as Adderal XR are normally taken from one to two times a day. Though the problem with this is timing the dosage right. If you don't take it at the right time, you're doomed to be staring at the ceiling all night long.

How to Spot Common ADHD Symptoms in Children?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric condition that, according to data released by Mental Health America of Illinois, affects approximately 7.8% of children. In 80% of these children, this condition persists into the teenage years. Around 65% will continue to suffer from ADHD as adults. While ADHD is common, it can be treated. By recognizing the common signs of ADHD, parents can begin treating their child's condition before it begins impacting his or her development.Common ADHD SymptomsIn children, ADHD symptoms are separated into three distinct categories: inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity. Children with ADHD are distracted easily, spend a lot of time daydreaming, frequently lose their train of thought and have a difficult time paying attention for long periods. If your child has ADHD, he or she might be very forgetful and lose things very frequently. Many sufferers also have a hard time following instructions, staying organized, finishing important tasks and listening to people who are talking to them.ADHD also causes impulsiveness. If your child is impulsive, he or she might constantly interrupt other people, act out of turn and react very quickly. In school, your child might not raise his or her hand before answering questions. Instead, children with ADHD tend to yell out answers, sometimes before the teacher has even completed the question.Hyperactivity is the last major symptom of ADHD in children. Hyperactive children have a hard time sitting still and finishing simple tasks. Children with ADHD often fidget, bounce and move around while sitting. In their free time, these children are constantly running around, climbing on objects and going from activity to activity. Many ADHD sufferers also have difficulty staying quiet and are constantly talking or making noise.If your child exhibits many of these ADHD symptoms, you might need to consult your physician. Not every child with ADHD requires medication. Some children grow out of their condition, while others improve with the help of healthy dietary changes, exercise or behavioral therapy. If necessary, ADHD can also be treated with stimulant and non-stimulant medications that will make it easier for children to thrive both socially and academically.

Who do you contact to have an evaluation for ADD?
You contact a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, neurologist, pediatrician (for children) or licensed clinical social worker who understands ADHD and has experience in diagnosing it.Unfortunately since many medical schools haven't adequately taught their students about how to diagnose and treat ADHD (as several medical professionals have told me), you can't assume every medical professional knows enough about ADHD to give you or your child (ADHD is 80% genetic) a proper diagnosis. Often is can be very difficult to find someone who knows enough about ADHD to accurately diagnose it.Most of the medical professionals that do know ADHD have usually gone out of their way in investing in time and money to learn about ADHD to their credit and hopefully our gratitude.You might want to attend a local ADD Support group to get a list of people known to diagnose ADHD in your area.Make sure you ask them what training they have on ADHD. Maybe ask them which ADHD books they've read and how many people they've diagnosed with ADHD. If you're an Adult with ADHD you should ask them how many adults they've diagnosed with ADHD. Many just diagnose children with ADHD.Finding someone who can diagnose ADHD.You can search for directories or ask at your local ADHD support group.DirectoriesADDA has a list of ADD Professionalshttp://add.org/DirectoryHome.aspxso does ADD Resourceshttp://www.addresources.org/adhd_directory.phpand ADD Consultshttp://addconsults.com/directory/index.php3ADHD Support Groups ListingsYou can also try searching the web to find a local ADHD support group in your area.

Can high energy children be mistaken for ADHD?
ADHD should only be diagnosed by a professional. Frank Barnhill, M.D., author of Mistaken for ADHD, listed nearly 50 conditions in his book that can be mistaken for ADHD. Dr. Barnhill said irritability, hyperactivity, poor memory and bad grades are classic ADHD symptoms, but they can be also symptoms of sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, food allergies, seizures and learning disabilities. ADHD diagnoses are rising at nearly 3% per year according to the Centers For Disease Control, which could mean as many as 9 million kids with ADHD in 2010.
