Is 10mg of Adderall a lot?

This would depend on how long you need the pill to last. 10 mg of regular Adderall will only last about 4 to 6 hours, whereas, a 10 mg XR adderall can last anywhere from 10 to 12 hours. Once you decide how many hours you need it to last for you, it would be good to try different dosages of the particular one you chose. For example, if you chose the 10 mg adderall XR and you feel it is not as strong as you would like, ask your doctor to up your dosage to about 20 mg XR. Every XR will last the same amount of time, the dosage only intensifies the effects.
