Prescribed Adderall, On Stepping Dosage. Should I Take 2nd Dosage In The Evening For Meetings?

I have been prescribed Adderall and am on a stepping dosage - I took 10mg for 7 days, and am on my first day of 15mg. I took the 15mg at 11am (it is not 4pm here). My questions are: Can I expect the benefits to continue into the evening? And would taking a second 15mg dose (I have a busy evening requiring all of my concentration) be inadvisable / likely to keep me up all night?

You need to take it as prescribed by psychiatrist. Do not expect results in one or two doses.
