Hi Rob,

 

Thank you for your question. Every person is different, so there is no one dose that is normally prescribed. I have a friend about your size who takes Adderall 30 mg tablets, one tablet twice a day, and that works well for him. Your doctor has probably converted the Ritalin to a comparable dose of Adderall to start you with, and it will be adjusted according to how it works for you.

 

Best of luck,

Casey
