Unless you have specific instructions to do so by your physician, you should NOT reduce the dosage of ANY medication unless directed by a doctor. Serious side effects can occur if you do not follow your doctor's instructions on taking a medication, especially a brain chemical balancing medication such as Adderall.

No! Never cut a tablet labeled XR in half it is an extended release tablet made to be slowly broken down by the body. If you break it in half you will receive to much medication at a time. Talk to you doctor about lowering you dosage or about taking the 20mg every other day.

What are the side effects of stopping Adderall XL all at once?
Do you mean Adderall XR?Adderall XR has a lot of side effects if you stop cold turkey. The amount and severity of your side effects depends on how long you have been on Adderall XR and the dosage. Higher dosage with longer treatment time means more severe side effects.Since Adderall is a stimulant, most individuals feel lethargic and tired after quitting Adderall. Others will sleep for hours on end. Some will have digestive issues as well as depression.Most doctors will not recommend you stopping Adderall cold turkey, especially if your dosage is high. Most will take a stepping down approach where your dosage is slowly decreased over time.
Should you get your prescription of Adderall increased if day 1 was great but now on the third day it does not have the same effect and you're not as focused and calm as you were on day 1 and 2?
If you just started taking Adderall (XR I am assuming??), then your doctor, like most others, probably started you out at a very low dose such as 10mg. The purpose of this is to slowly acquaint your system with the medication, as well as to intend to increase the dosage because each person is different and may require different dosages. If you doctor did not tell you to increase your dosage in 1, 2, 3 etc. weeks, then you should probably contact him/her and let him/her know you need to increase your dosage.
Why I am taking amisulpride i.e. soltus 100 and Clomipramine i.e. Clonil 25 tablets half each per day. I had depression in past. But now I am fine and very positive can i stop the dosage now?
You can decrease the dosage. I would recommend half a tablet for 2 days. If your depression doesn't come back and you stay positive, then you can try to slowly (!) decrease your dosage more until you are not needing the medication.

Does baking-soda increase the effects of Adderall?
Adderall has a pH of about 7 (basic) so it becomes charged at a pH of 7. Becaues charged particles are absorbed more slowly, taking adderall with a Ph below 7 and acidic with cause the drug to get absorbed slowly allowing for the drug to brake down in your stomach. Adderall gets absorbed faster when the intestine is basic (above pH of 7). So to increase effectiveness of adderall you should take it on an empty stomach and with a little taking baking soda (one teaspoon) or potassium citrate (Tums) a little before taking adderall (5-10 min) to create a pH above 7. Doing this will increase the drugs concentration more rapidly and make the effects last longer.
