"I got told its max of 60mgs a day" :

--- That is COMPLETELY not true. I was started at 90mg per day; 1 and 1/2 20mg three times a day. Within one week my dose was increased to 1 and 1/2 20mg(30mx4 per day totally 120mg per day) Ritalin every 2-3 hours 4 times per day. My current prescription is for an overall count of 180x20mg tablets per month. 6 per day(1+1/2 20mg pills 4 times per day). There is absolutely not a "Maximum Dosage" of any drug that a doctor can prescribe. There are guidelines from the manufacturer and the FDA which suggest maximum dosages, but doctors can prescribe any amount of a medication, even if its 10 times the maximum "Recommended Dosage" from the FDA and manufacturers/marketers. of the, drug depending on the person. So any ways I am prescribed 120mg of Ritalin per day and we; Therefore completely nullifying the concept of 60mg per day. Your doctor must be lying to you about increasing your dose, either because of risk of dependence or chance to be sued (due to increased side effects at higher dosages (none which are that bad). Bottom line is that there is NO maximum dosage that's concretely designed. Doctors can prescribe ANY amount of Ritalin per day; which in my case is 120mg per day.

That entirely depends on the view and opinion of your prescribing doctor.

Generally the maximum dosage for ritalin and concerta is 150 mg a day, but there is quite a few psychiatrists who go above that dosage.

I´ve been taking ritalin and concerta for a couple of years and I have yet to meet anyone with more than 200 mg a day.

You should consult online resources and discuss dosage with your doctor.

Can you take adderall lexapro lamictal all same time I was perscribed lexapro and lamictal from same dr. then i went to diet dr. he perscribed adderall for weight loss i didnt tell him bout lex lami?

i know you can do lexapro and adderall at the same time since i am personal prescribed to both. I am not sure what lamictal is though. Just try to take the adderall in the morning and take the lexapro at night since they would work against each other and would cause more than needed stess on your liver.

How often do you take Adderall?

Adderall is perscribed by your doctor, and by your doctor, (s)he will decide as to how often you will take your medicine, however, they will also tell you how much you should take at each time...Currently, myself, I am taking 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night...So it all depends on what you are needing it for.... Currently, that dosage of ten and five is a very small dose for most people...but again, it all depends on what you are taking the medicine for.

What kind of people use adderall?

Anyone and everyone! That is why you must be moderate in your intake of this medication. It is easy to become addicted to it, and then to take more and more than is diagnosed by your doctor. One strategy -- if you are overdoing it -- is to cease taking it for a week to 10 days. Then when you resume it, you will again experience the same benefits at or near the original dose. Good luck!
