Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
Unfortunately, it would be impossible to say whether you should increase your dose of Adderall. Because everyone reacts differently to medication, you may or may not feel more focused if you increase your dosage.
You may want to keep a chart, or journal, each day and keep track of your symptoms. This can give you specific information to share with your doctor. Together you will be able to determine if you should increase your medication, even if temporarily to see how you react.
For further information on setting up a journal:

I hope this helps
