Hello, and thanks for your question.
That dose you have been taking is higher than the maximum therapeutic dosage. This kind of abuse creates tolerance and addiction. If you stop using it for several months, your sensitivity will return to normal. Tolerance will be established more quickly next time. I strongly suggest never using Adderall again.
