adderall

Avatar f tn Just read a post of a person on both Vyvanese and Adderall--my doctor said no to me. What about Desoxyn? What medicine works the best for ADD/ADHD coupled with narcolepsy???????????? Need ideas and what combinations you can suggest.
Avatar f tn This is the same compounds as the street form of methamphetamine known as ice, glass, meth in the smokeable form. Desoxyn is prescribed for ADHD and Obesity. The issue of abuse is what is holding the FDA back from approving this drug for the treatment of stimulant abuse disorder.

7033493 tn?1387272744 I am 28 and diagnosed ADHD and have been for a long time. I have also been a meth user for 11 years and overall, it is maintainable (at least when I don't slam it) I wasn't prescribed amphetamine until this last year because my doctor knows I am an addict and I pretty much told him if he didn't prescribe it, I would just continue to use. The meth helps overall better then what I am prescribed. I would rather just use that.

Now it may be that your case of ADD was much more extreme then theirs or that your job simply requires so much from you (which it does). But I do wonder if you are really kind of addicted to adderall since you don't have ADD ( but certainly had the need for a stimulant to get through college)?
Avatar n tn Psychostimulant medication when properly prescribed and monitored is effective for approximately 75-80% of people with ADHD. These medications include Ritalin, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Desoxyn. It is important to note that when these medications are used to treat ADHD the dosage is much less that what addicts use to get high.

Avatar f tn Hello I'm 29 years old and have been taking adderall for several months and have also found it not as effective. I have (rather my doctor has) upped my dose twice and now take 30 mg twice a day. i have read that if you take tums or a teaspoon of baking soda 45 min before dose that it will make it more potent and last longer so I'm willing to try. Basically if ur stomach is too acidic it will eat up the adderall which is a salt. My medicine not working as well frustrates me bad!
Avatar f tn adderall does suck. i've been on it for six years and for a couple off in between and did very poorly in school, and went from 70 lbs to almost 170 lbs. when i went back on adderall, i began doing well in school again and went down to 115 lbs up until last year, and since it's been less effective in helping me focus or follow through with anything and made me increasingly irritable and anxious but whenever i stopped taking it, i would just want to lay in bed or eat all day.
Avatar f tn I heard that the vyvance takes 2-7 days to come out your system to pass a dt, but the adderall only takes 2-4 days to come out to pass a dt. Now why are they different if they are both for ADHD? I don't really understand. I've taken both and the adderall in my opinion is a lot better for me! It calms me, but give me energy. Weird but, true. Lol! And the vyvance doesn't help at all in my opinion!
Avatar f tn Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems." I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar f tn I cannot help but wonder if any of these parents have even taken the time to research the long-term effects of amphetamine on a small child’s mind? I know what adderall has done to my mind after 10 yrs. I started taking adderall in my mid twenties and it has caused some brain damage, it is difficult to remember what I did the day before or telephone numbers. I cannot even imagine what it is doing to a child's mind.
Avatar m tn Does anyone here have a prescription for methamphetamine to treat their adhd?
Avatar f tn I am taking adderall as apart of my treatment with bipolar and adhd. I also take neurotin 3xs a day and klonopin 3x's a day. I was just wondering has anyone taken adderall and ritilan and was there a big difference in the 2? I only ask because my insurance doesn't cover the adderall but it does ritilan. I really don't want to mess with my medication regime but if there isn't a huge difference in the 2 then finacially.....
Avatar m tn what are your thoughts on Adderall ir how many mg should a person adult I must say take per day is 90 mg a solid dose for a heavy person?
1575110 tn?1334664635 I am on sertariline Zoloft and I am also taking a beta blocker called propananol- these two in combination with an adhd medicine sort of makes it lost its effect. I need help organizing my thoughts and not misplacing things and a steady stream of medicine with out highs or lows. What is the most effective drug Concerta or Vyvanse or any other suggestions? I have heard of daytrana as well, but I'm an adult. I'm slowly getting everything back together.
990354 tn?1307132886 t have tried it on his own but I figure as long as he actually does have a prescription for both, the vyvanse works late into the afternoon anyways, and the adderall in the afternoon vs in the morning is still taking it as prescribed, as long as he doesn't abuse his max dose . I mean I have SO many extra pills and every now and then I take 40 adderall instead of the vyvanse all together.
Avatar n tn Adderall (a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine) is a prescription stimulant used to treat adults and children (over the age of six) with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall was the second drug to be approved to treat ADHD, following Ritalin’s already long stay on the market. The FDA approved Adderall in 1996 and later approved Adderall XR Extended-Release capsules in 2001.
Avatar n tn She had been on Adderall for ADHD, went into a hypermanic event and was involuntarily committed for treatment. After her release she went back to her original Psychiatrist who again prescribed Adderall for her. Is Adderall ever used for bipoplar disorder. Everything I have read says no. How can I convince her Dr. to not prescribe it anymore? Please help us.
492527 tn?1212175672 I have adhd and abused adderall for the last 6 years. I have been off of it for about 10 months and do not know what 2 do. I tried straterra and it doesnt seem to help.
1549092 tn?1297046311 I think you will find the information useful as it compares Vyvanse vs Adderall XR. Do make sure you also click on their ADHD link at the top of the page once you have finished reading. The site is - http://healthlifeandstuff.com/2009/07/vyvanse-vs-adderall-simple-vs-complex. You also might want to check out another very good site for adult ADD. Its has a different approach to the matter as it is all done with videos and was recently featured in a special on PBS.
Avatar m tn I recently started taking Adderall for ADHD (was diagnosed since I was a child but could never swallow medication until early adulthood), and I thought it was really going to mess with my heart. Funny enough, I tolerate Adderall very well with a nominal increase in BP every so often. But my question is, why does 20oz of soda or a cup of coffee make me jittery with heart issues and Adderall does nothing of the sort?
Avatar f tn I have one child who is diagnosed with ADHD, Conduct Disorder, and Anxiety Disorder. He does not like to take Adderall for his ADHD because he says it makes his "personality change" and dampens his joy in general. He has never told me that it worsens his anxiety but everyone's different. Adderall has worked very well for myself and my youngest child insists on taking his own. My biggest problem with it is when it wears off in the evening. I get irritable and unhappy.
Avatar n tn i have a 4yr old she was diagnosed with adhd and she has been taking adderol for almost a yr now and it hasnot work sence the begining. now her doctor want to go from 1/2 pill in am and 1/2 pill in pm to 1 whole pill in am and 2 pills in pm. i refuse because she sees things that arent there when she was taking 1whole ill before. now im scared to give her more because we had so much trouble in the begining. and i dont know wht to do.
