Avatar f tn I say this because Basically phentermine is a stimulant (works like adderall), but works differently then adderall. I am not sure you should be taking it with adderall. "Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are: Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days" This quote is from - http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn Hi there, Yes, Adderall can cause withdrawals when it's used recreationally, abused, and sometimes unintentionally. Something that you really need to be aware of is that toxic symptoms and signs of overdose can happen even with low dosage milligrams. Popping Adderall every couple of hours will only exacerbate side effects because they are usually intended as extended release capsules/caplets, to be used only once daily. The amount you have taken in the last few days is seriously dangerous.
Avatar f tn 5mg once a day and topamax 23 mg in half doeses twice dailey. I also take adderall 20mg twice Dailey. I asked him if theses two meds who interact with one another and his response was no . I guess my question is how do I safely spread them out during the day. It seems I can't get it right because when I take either or I get very anxious . I already take a anti anxiety med clonazepam for accational panic attacks. How do I safely take these?
Avatar n tn Hey guys, I'm a 21 year old male and I have an oral issue where the cause is unknown. Apparently I have a habit of pushing my tongue to the roof of my mouth and feeling around as if there was bits of food stuck on the roof of my mouth. It almost seems like a nervous reaction like popping joints or biting nails. It wouldn't usually bother me, but I've been tasting blood lately, as if I'm actually cutting the roof of my mouth. Does anyone have anything to help me?
5957912 tn?1379936972 t have to taper off adderall. Pentermine side effects say to not drink coffee, Adderall does not. You may have felt like crap because you stopped the pentermine. You need to talk to your doc. The problem quite possible could be the interactions of what you are taking. You really sound like you were over dosing and I think that could have been the drug combo.
Avatar f tn (Junior year is the first year I started taking/ sometimes double dosing adderall XR) I would take about 20-40 MG a day for school. (Adderall intensifies my symptoms by a big Margin) All the sudden I start experiencing things in class and around me that I'm sure all of you know. Sniffing, looks, coughing, sneezing, etc... My tongue was coated white and my breath was very hot. When I sit in cars even now sometimes all the windows will just fog up uncecessarily. I got terrible brain fog.

3063045 tn?1340654053 Wow, Jenny, you need to give your doctor a call and tell him what is going on and double check the dosing instructions. Vyvanse typically has a duration of 8 to 12 hours! And usually you take one pill a day. It may be that you are over dosing yourself (tiredness is a symptom of that). Call your doctor immediately.
Avatar f tn Tylenol is fine, personally I'd make a point of not taking it more than a couple days in a row before trying to see a doctor, but I'm a bit of a worrier when it comes to medicine and baby.
Avatar m tn Everything I have read says that you have it for life. However, as you get older you (hopefully) learn how to compensate. And the older you get, the more control you usually have. However, if you haven't learned how to compensate or deal with the ADHD, thats when depression, anxiety, or self medication can set in. Having said that - the big IF is - was it an accurate diagnosis of ADHD. There are things that can make it seem like you have ADHD.
514443 tn?1224592574 I started taking 10mg of Adderall back in July. Around September I started taking an additional 5mg at noon time. It was working great for me untill about two weeks ago. All of a sudden I feel like the 10mg in the morning are doing nothing for me. I am sitting here at work, my leg bouncing uncontrollably, my mind racing and as of yet I have done no work and I have been here two hours.
Avatar f tn Recently diagnosed with adult adhd. I was put on 20mg vyvanse about 3 months ago. Since then I have titrated up to 60mg in the am and a 10mg 100% d-amp "booster" around 2pm.. After about two weeks on this I felt over stimulated so I told my Dr. and he changed me up. Reduced me back to 40mg Vyvanse in the am and because I said the 100% d-amp (realizing that is in effect what Vyvanse is after it cleaves) was making me too jittery switched me to a new drug - Evekeo.
Avatar n tn Someone close to me is extremely addicted to adderall. He has been getting prescriptions regularly, and has been consistently abusing it for several years, often times going through a months supply in a matter of weeks or less. He initially got onto the drug because he said that he suffered from ADD, although I believe in the past he had played with uppers. His addiction is not only life threatening, but it seems scary as well. He has exhibited psychosis, blatant paranoia, and extreme hostility.
Avatar n tn We could stop the Sunosi and have you do the Adderall three times a day. 90mg is typically the max we try to keep the dosing around for Adderall, but accomodations can be made. I'm suspicious if some of the symptoms you are experiencing during the day is related to Cataplexy? This is typically associated with some form of muscle weakness. Not sure if you notice any of those symptoms at all? In the event this was cataplectic episodes, adding SNRI in the form of Venlafexine.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.
Avatar f tn And, of course, you could simply do an instant release adderall in the afternoon. But, I would definitely first try uping the dosage (and maybe looking for a new doctor). Anyway, here is a link to Dr. Parker talking about the problem of "ADHD medication dosing, not enough". Its also worth taking the time to view his other videos on the subject. I have bought his book and its great. Maybe you should buy it and give it to your doc. The link is https://www.youtube.
Avatar f tn I've been on brand name Adderall XR 15mg pills for a few months now, and I've never had any problems with side effects other than suppressed appetite. Thanks to our new insurance only covering the generic, I had to switch to a drug "identical" to the brand. When I initially told my mom I was worried about the switch, she told me they're the exact same thing. She's a pharmacist, so I took her word for it. Fast forward to today, when I started the generic.
Avatar m tn I used to be on a high dose of methadone many years ago, I now am on only 60 mgs a day and many days I only take 50mgs. I am also on Wellbutrin XR, and yesterday I just started Adderall, 5mg 3XDaily I had really hoped it would help pull me out of the very deep depression I've been in for years now. My depression is so bad I'm on SS Disability for it.
Avatar f tn Adderall 30mg twice a day 26yrs. Ms contain 5yrs. Vicodin 15 yrs.
Avatar f tn Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.
Avatar m tn I started to try different doses of Vyvanse and Adderall, starting at 10mg Vyvanse and going up to 50mg, and starting at 5mg Adderall (IR) and increasing to 10, at most, 4x a day. All of these medications seemed to increase my depressive symptoms, and since I wasn't really retaining much or cognizant of how I was doing, I ended up going three weeks without touching my homework, going to class or talking to my friends.
Avatar m tn It is very difficult to know anything based on what you posted. First, lab ranges even for the different labs in the US differ so without ranges - have no idea if you are low, high or normal. Second - no idea if you are sick or how you are sick. The tests run are not really run for adrenal except DHEA (and that is really more of an adrogen - e.g. it converts to testosterone and estrogen) so not sure why it belongs in this forum.
