How to take Adderall

Adderall is taken by mouth as a tablet with or without food. The initial and the lowest prescribed doses will probably be taken as a single dose in the morning, but typically people take two or three doses each day.

Take Adderall exactly as prescribed.

Take the first dose in the morning when first awakened.

Later doses should be taken four to six hours apart.

Do not take a dose if it’s almost evening. The last dose should not be taken within six hours of bedtime to avoid sleep problems.

Carefully read and follow the medication guide that comes with the prescription.

If too much Adderall is taken, seek immediate medical advice from a doctor or poison control center.

Always check the expiration date. If the expiration date has passed, dispose of the medication safely and get a new prescription.

Adderall should be stored at room temperature and protected from moisture.
