Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Your doctor has prescribed two times adderal likely after evaluation need for the same.

This time if you are taking since 1 week and no side effects, you can spread the dosage and start taking two times now as prescribed by your doctor.If one week has not there since you restart adderall, wait until then.
Second dose should be taken before late evening as it can cause insomnia.
Hope I have answered your query,
I will be happy to help further.
