The "come-down" is commonly usually called the 'rebound' in the medical community. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with blood sugar or the like. I think of it as like an engine running on 87 octane, adderall is the octane booster -- but the tank only lasts so long...hmm... Bad idea to try and make an analogy there, emmy's are on and I am far too distracted here to make sense... sorry! So yes, that is very common. I think everyone who uses stimulant medications has some degree of rebound. When I took Concerta (Ritalin) my rebound was far far worse than with the adderall.

I still think your dose it mighty high, like katalina mentioned, the dose is not related to weight. Also, IMO, such a high dose makes it much less likely that you will ever stop taking it. Personally I am trying to learn to be just as focused and motivated without the meds, at least that is my goal. Most ADHD meds are essentially speed, so I guess I just would like to not be dependent on it for the rest of my life. To each his own though... Meh...<shoulder shrugging> That probably makes no sense, but neither does me being distracted by the emmy's.
