i think for adults its normal. once upon a time, I think 40mgs was the recommended max dose for add/adhd. i dont think any amphetamines have approved use in depression except for Desoxyn (Rx methamphetamine), so I don't know the dosing guidelines for that...
anyway, keep in mind that the pills and capsules go up to 30mgs. the highest dose I've ever seen in someone I was acquainted with was I think 90 (?), and that was after a failure with high dose ritalin.
ok. keep in mind, of course, that there is a risk of psychosis, mania, agitation, etc. much more common with abuse and high doses, but...its been reported with ongoing, standard dose treatment. i think its rare (?), but...just a little warning, to be on the safe side.

20mg is a standard dose, but even 40mg ... there's alot of people i knew they were on 60, one girl i met at a self improvement group, took 90mg. Obviously that's high and used only in special cases.
I was on 20mg in high school, it's a standard dose but i moved to dexedrine and went to 60mg

It's a good starting dose. The blue 20mg was perfect for me.
