Continued inattention could mean that even while on Adderall, the individual still struggles to stay focused, finish tasks, follow through on plans and responsibilities, or stay focused in conversations with others. Inattention can also manifest as messiness and loss of important items (such as frequently misplacing a phone or keys).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Continued hyperactivity:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK441838\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADHD hyperactivity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> symptoms include fidgeting, the urge to leave your seat and walk around, feeling like your \u201cinternal motor\u201d never stops, and excessive talkativeness.

People taking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/adderall\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adderall<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for ADHD frequently experience side effects such as high blood pressure, weight loss, and trouble sleeping. Some also experience more serious side effects, such as rapid heart rate, extreme mood swings, seizures, and eyesight changes. Sometimes, the negative effects of Adderall warrant switching to a lower dose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are a few best practices for taking Adderall to support its effectiveness while minimizing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/adderall-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">its side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-always-take-adderall-as-directed\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Taking a dose more than is prescribed can cause psychological or physical dependence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTaking meds on and off wreaks havoc on the body and mind,\u201d Dorfman cautions. She says taking medication as directed offers a baseline for patients and their caregivers to gauge the medication\u2019s effectiveness. Sticking to your treatment plan also goes a long way toward minimizing Adderall\u2019s potential side effects and avoiding dangerous misuse and withdrawal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-take-the-first-adderall-dose-first-thing-in-the-morning\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

Taking Adderall early in the day helps boost focus and concentration when needed most: during the workday or school day. It also helps prevent Adderall-related sleep problems because the morning dosage gives your body time to metabolize the medication as much as possible before bedtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/how-long-does-adderall-last\/\"><b>How long does Adderall last?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-avoid-other-stimulants\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
