Did you mean IR formulations, or are you saying that extended release formulations of Adderall are considered a blunt instrument? Compared to what other than Vyvanse?
- epgui 3y agoIR (instant release) is the opposite of XR (extended release). I said and meant XR. I don’t even think IR should be used anymore, except maybe in super niche situations (I’m not even sure if I can think of any situation where it makes much sense… maybe narcolepsy?). XR is obviously preferable to IR, but amphetamines have been falling out of favour over the years (it’s a slow trend). Vyvanse, NSRIs and even SSRIs tend to be regarded more and more favourably compared to amphetamines (Adderall) and methylphenidate (Ritalin). (Disclaimer: I myself take Adderall XR 10mg as prescribed, so I have the opposite of a conflict of interest in this context.)
