Common Questions and Answers about Adderall generic pill

adderall

My doctor just prescribed Adderall 10 mg - 2x/day to address fatigue, brain fog and what he calls "pronounced ADD" symptoms. (Today he told me to take 10mg in the am and 5 mg (cut pill in half) at noon. Is anyone else out there currently using this medication? Are you taking the sustained relaease or the regular dose? Are you taking the brand name or the generic? What are your experiences? I'd like to compare. Thanks.

I also heard her talking to a friend on her cell phone (she did NOT know I was listening) about adderall in general. What forms do people use to abuse Adderall. Do they take to many? Do the crush them up and eat them? Do they crush them up and possibly snort them? Or are there other ways for my 16 year old daughter to abuse the medication that I am not aware of?

Anyway, has anyone here taken adderall for ADD, etc. after a pain pill addiction? I know it can be addicting just like the painers so I was looking for someone who might have some experience with it. Thanks..

Are you concerned about getting involved in a situation where in 5 years from now your popping Adderall pills like tic-tacs. When reading your post, however, it sounds to me as if you are only considering a somewhat nominal increase to help you throughout the early evening hours, which was exactly my problem in the beginning; and I see no problem in discussing the possibility of an additional dosage with your doctor at your next meeting.

5mg once a day. It made me so tired the first week, that I was given generic Adderall 5mg to boost me during teaching times. My question is whether this combination is ok? Would it be better to just increase the Effexor XR for my body weight? Or is too early to do that? Does the generic Adderall have the same effect as dexedrine? I felt nothing the day I took the Adderall, so did not take it again. The rest of the week I was really snapping at my students.

I feel centered and focused when I take it but afterwards I feel terrible for wasting a full months worth of pills in one or two weeks. I don't want to stop taking adderall because it really helps me with my ADD. I just want to go back to taking it properly. I felt so much better then. The problem is that my life is so completely void of any sort of routine because of my random work schedule and the chaos of being a father that its hard to just slip back into a regular schedule.

I have been on stimulant medications since I was in the 2nd grade for my diagnosis of ADD. I am now a college freshman. A good 5 years ago, I began taking adderall, deciding it would be most effective in treating my tendency towards distraction (According to the doctor, there is no hyperactivity). My dosage is currently 90 mg, and has been such for approximately 1 1/2 years. I am instructed to take 60 mg in the morning, and another 30 in the evening.

She is not convinced I have ADD, but prescribed me 5mg of Amphetamine Salt ER (this is adderall right?) I took it for the first time today. I noticed I was a little calmer, but my mind still wandered. Got a minor headache, took a pain killer and I was find. I had a weird feeling in my head almost like I was buzzed. Is adderall a cumulative thing so it builds up in my system? From what I googled on here 5mg sounds like a pretty small dose. I am also not sure that she knows alot about ADD.

I am taking a step to get my life back and stop letting these little pills control my being. I am tired of always thinking about my pill bottle and when I should do another. I am glad I found this site. It really has given me an idea of what is going on and makes me feel like I am not the total loser I was feeling I was by knowing that this is happenig to so many. I hope the Dr. understands what I am trying to do and how I got myself in this situation.

I recently discovered that my 49 year old wife has been taking my sons adderall for a year. She has been taking 20mg. per day. She also takes celexa for depression. I am concerned that she is addicted and will have withdrawal problems. I have hidden the adderall from her and she no longer has it available. She relizes that she has a problem and has commited to quit. What are the withdrawal symptoms, how soon after she has quit to they show, how long to they last and how can I help.

There definately is a difference between Ritalin and Adderall. Adderall is stronger. For instance, if a person is on 30mg of Adderall and wants to switch to Ritalin,..you will need aprox. 50 to 60mg of Ritalin to be equivelant to the 30mg of Adderall. I am on 60mg of Adderall daily. I wanted to try Ritalin again just for the heck of it. I have shown proof from reliable sources, to my Doc that he needs to give me MORE than 60mg Ritalin for it to be effective as 60mg Adderrall.

I am on the generic short acting form of adderall. I take 40 mg a day. I cut the pills in half and take 10mg at 7am, 10mg at 11am, 10mg at 3pm, and 10mg at 6 or 7pm. This keeps it consistent. Maybe, with the consent of your doctor, you could take it this way as well. I do not have any issues sleeping and it works better than the XR.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice about getting off adderall...I have been taking it on and off without a prescription for about three years and with a prescription for the past five months. I was prescribed a dose of 30 mgs a day but I have quickly increased my own dosage to 70--80 mg XR per day. I know I cant manage my use of this drug and I have recently become really worried about my health (Im a 22 year old formerly athletic female)...

Although I am prescribed 20 mg Adderall XR 3 times a day, I never take all 3 pills a day. Right now I am down to 1 pill a day. I love the fact that the Adderall gives me energy but I hate that after a few days of taking it I feel physically exhausted. I have tried to give up the Adderall but I always go back to it because taking the Celexa alone doesn't work.

Are you taking Adderall XR or Adderall? Is it a capsule or a tablet?

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.

Just a little advice for you about the Adderall. It is highly addictive as well. I have experimented with pain pills and all kinds of other things in my life, and nothing grabbed me like Adderall. Have you looked at the generic name for adderall? "Amphetamine Salts" are what it is made of. That drug can be a f*cking miracle if used very judiciously, but of all the drugs I have tried in my life, I don't crave anything as much as I crave adderall.

Hi, I have a rather detailed question concerning the absorbance and/or enzymatic breakdown of the components of Adderall or its generic counterpart. Before I get to that let me tell you that I take several vitamin supplements, an amino complex pill, protein shakes, acai berry antioxidant, along with my usual dosages of Dexedrine that can vary from (30-60mg/day). My case of ADD/ADHD is quite severe (like right now I should be studying for an exam as I type this up..

I'm paranoid, in serious amounts of pain in my neck and jaw, dehydrated, and really bad nutrition. My RX is 40mg of generic adderall IR a day (one 20mg in the morning, one in the afternoon)- it's really not a high RX, but some days I take three 20mg's and some days I only take one and a half. AAAHHH!

I have no doubt that amphetamines can easily cause paranoia, AND PLEASE, do not smoke weed if you're on any type of amphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine, Desoxyn, generics of those, etc.) ---- I've noticed that marijuana is the WORST contribution to paranoid feelings. It only amplifies it to a psychotic level. Hopefully after my doctor figures out the problem (tests are pointing to hyperthyroidism - a known cause of ADD not ADHD - which I have), I won't need the Adderall anymore.

I am curious if there are any supplements that may balance the negative effects of Adderall. The medication makes me anxious, irritable and tired - these side effects show up a few days after I take it and last for a day or so. A little about me - I am pursuing a professional degree that entails many hours of studying. I don't take Adderall every day; however, when I do take it, I take two to three 30 mgs within a twelve hour span.

here's 60 pills of 20mg generic adderall and 90 pills of 10 mg of generic Ritalin each month. Figure out what works and go with it." Basically, if I feel like the medicine hasn't kicked in, I should keep taking some sort of pill until it does. That's the "need" What seems to happen is that everything works for the first month and then I notice I'm more scattered, can't remember doing things or what I need to do, and I'm more over the map emotionally.

Recently I have been taking adderall when I go out and party. I have 20mg pills and I usually take one before dinner before we head to the bars/clubs. Sometimes I take another 20mg while in the club, but that is very rare. The amount of alcohol I am able to consume and continue to function coherently is increased very greatly. Excess drinking is defiantly involved, but I am able to completely function. This is generally a weekend only and social event.

I'd like to know EXACTLY how my 4-year-old boy with a heart of gold was put on the generic of this drug without SOME form of diagnostic process. The drug he is on is Metadate. (As a side-note, I asked her if she even knew what the name of the drug was. She didn't.) I suppose the legitimate question, here, is this... WHAT, EXACTLY, ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR PUTTING A 4-YEAR-OLD ON METADATE?

I do have pretty severe social anxiety, partial agarophobia and just generalized worry about everything in my life. I have many people tell me that I should consider adderall, although I know just about zero about it and its effects. But Ive been told that it helps with having energy, and one friend in particular has benefited from it greatly. I know I have depression to a point, but all the depression meds Ive taken either make me feel awkward or just flat out terrible.

Eighty percent of patients experienced at least a 30 percent reduction in their ADHD symptoms based on the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) score when taking ADDERALL XR. Patients with ADHD taking ADDERALL XR demonstrated significant improvement in driving safety and performance, as measured by a 2.5 point reduction in their average Driving Safety Score (DSS), compared to 2.5 point gain among those on placebo (P<.005).

I am sure my insurance will be all over that generic provigil..they hate covering for it now. But we do need a generic, as long as it works as well. I used to pay half of the cost, $250.00, until my plan changed and now I only pay $80.00. Its their plan but some things don't go their way.

I don't drink excessively while on it as i know that is extra dangerous but nonetheless the next day my heart beats like a 1000x per/minute for about 6 hours then it goes back to normal. At this point i take about 2 pills per/week generally fri and sat night and on occasion i take a small dosage of ritalin (similar drug) to help study for big tests.

Usually we visit every 3 months and we get bloodwork done once a year. The only thing I know about Adderall is that it is no longer available as a generic. The company that held the original patent bought the company that made the generic...thus no more generic. So right now, that is my big beef. If I have to bring my son in every month, well yes that will be a big pain in the you know what. I hope it is not true. I guess I will find out soon enough.
