How can I sustain this?

Hello everyone,

I appreciate you taking the time to read my post. Iā€™m just going to put it all out thereā€¦

I am prescribed 90 20mg Adderall Instant Release each month from my doctor here in California. Thatā€™s supposed to be 60mg a day. In reality, I take about 180mg a day. Anything less than that keeps me unable to do regular tasks that everyone does, everyday. I canā€™t go to work effectively, Iā€™m not happy, Iā€™m depressed and overthinking, etc etc. When I take 180 mg of Adderall each day I am the happiest, the most productive, and genuinely look forward to everything that comes in the day. When Iā€™m not taking that much, I am unhappy, unfocused and I donā€™t take care of myself or anyone else.

I guess the real question is: Can I get prescribed 180mg of Adderall daily under ANY circumstances whatsoever?

Are there any exceptions to the rule of a ā€œmaximum prescribed amountā€ that the doctors and government have legislated?

If ā€œnoā€ā€¦ why would the law limit something that Iā€™ve tested and tried as the only option for me to be happy and successful?

Since I canā€™t get the 180mg a day legally, Iā€™ve had to go through other options of obtaining the medication just to sustain this. Not only is it expensive but itā€™s feeling quite illegal and I donā€™t feel like I should have to do anything illegal.

I want to go through a real doctor and be honest and get the amount I need.

Please give me guidance and feedback if this is possible for me to achieve this.

Quick overview of me: I sleep every night at least eight hours, normally even nine. I work about 50 hours a week and Iā€™m a husband and a father of two. I eat a small breakfast and small lunch and a large dinner everyday. I still drink caffeine each morning. Iā€™m also prescribed Effexor & Vraylar for depression and Xanax for anxiety. Iā€™ve battled severe depression for years. Iā€™m somewhat active and am considered average weight and height. I say this to add context.

Overview of post: I just truly feel like Iā€™m really at my optimum at this amount of the medication and want to know if itā€™s possible to actually get it, somehow, someway, through a doctor.

Thank you for your feedback.
