The Physicians Desk Reference places the maximum recommended dose of Adderall for the treatment of ADHD at 40 mg per day. For narcolepsy, doses up to 60 mg per day may be used. It also notes that dosages over 40 mg per day are rarely necessary. The risks and potential benefits of the medication must be carefully evaluated by your doctor before beginning treatment or changing the dose. Increasing the dose of Adderall also increases the risks of serious adverse events including high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and sudden death.
