Avatar f tn I was clean and sober for 13 years, then relapsed on percocet. Got clean, but then my addiction doc recommended adderall. sincee then i'm taking more and more. now i'm taking at least 90 milligrams a day, along with clonopin and suboxone to calm down. i'm worse off than when i went to detox. and i don't know what to do. is it possible to gradually come off adderalll? oh, i also have ambien for sleep, which i don't abuse. the only one i abuse is the adderall.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know what the dangers of hand numbness and pain in the left hand are & what the cause is after using adderal in excess over several years?
621290 tn?1226720261 im on xanax, adderall, & suboxone... My pharmacist said I should try to avoid taking xanax & suboxone at the same time but its fine if there a couple hrs apart, & not to take them together at night time. Its hard on your heart/body when you take uppers & downers together.
621290 tn?1226720261 I just stopped using Adderall.. I was taking anywhere between 120-240mg's a day (orange caps-XR). Mainly for the stay up. I loved staying up for days on end.. I would usually eat 3 (90 mg's) to start off and several more to keep it up. I did this for a while- and I usually ended up staying awake for at least 3 days.. and after about day 3 my mind was warn. The delusion is awful. And when day 4 or 5 came around I was seeing things.. Not solid figures or anything..
460591 tn?1207150799 I know. I figure at this low of a dose, it's not harmful. I know speeding my heart up and slowing it down is absolutely not good for it... But it's not very high doses of either drug. I have done adderall with the suboxone before and I felt weird towards the end of the effects of the adderall. No major complications though. I took a heavier dose, as well.
Avatar m tn I did plenty of snorting. Methadone, adderall, morphine, oxys, all of them I guess. It's just like taking them orally. You will need more and more, or stronger meds. You are walking on a path that will lead you into much more pain than physical, trust me. Opiates only work for a while, then it's time to find another answer. I don't know what will work for you, but snorting opiates is not it. What's the plan when the snorting doesn't work, iv?
Avatar f tn This is a really good question!! I will second the advice you've received from Paxiled and Maddie. While I'm sure DoctorGoddess has good intentions, none of us on an internet forum can tell you what you DO or don't have. I would also be inclined to tell you to maybe give a nicotine patch a try, but what's curious to me is that the relief you feel post smoking is VERY short lived.
Avatar n tn Hello, my name is Justin and I was curious about the effects of taking adderall had on motor neuron and glutamate function. I am currently in medical school and have been taking adderall for some time now and notice that when I am taking in caffeine along with adderall I experience muscle twitching within my arms, legs, and fingers. Previously to my arrival at school, I was checked out by a neurologist who performed a NVC/EMG and said everything was fine.
Avatar n tn I abuse pain medicine, benzos and adderall. A while back I began to inject pills. I was foolish and uneducated when I started and after learning how dangerous injecting pills can be, I stopped. I decided it wasn't worth the risk. I did stop completely until 3 days ago. I came across some adderall and I injected. I am very upset with myself for doing it. I was in a bad place and made a very bad decision. To make everything worse, I am pretty sure I blew a vein.
Avatar f tn Vyvanse is metabolized differently, so could last longer in your system. It was done so you could not snort it like you can with Adderall. Adderall gives a stronger first "hit". V is smoother and takes longer to take effect so may not be as noticeable. Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.
1516765 tn?1298060345 I would also like to add that I take adderall for ADD and I started off with Ritalin. I have more acid then I used to have without so, it could also be a side effect of the Ritalin as well.
Avatar m tn I don't put a lot of stuff in my coffee though, so I'm curious why coffee would make me shaky but Adderall wouldn't. I know they work differently, but I just assumed that Adderall was stronger and would have more negative side effects.
Avatar n tn I also take adderall for add and xanax for anxiety. The reason that you are experiencing anxiety like symptoms from the adderall is because adderall is a stimulant. It is a mix of amphetamine and dextoamphetamine salts. It is a schedule II drug. Schedule I drugs are the worst classification and it goes down to schedule V. This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you?
Avatar n tn My college aged daughter has been on Adderall 3 days a week since Nov 2007. I noticed over spring break a small amount of acne (she had been acne free for years). Then when she came home in May the acne started getting worse. She upped her adderall because of training/games and a new job. So she was basically taking it almost every day. Her face broke out horribly. Worse it has ever been. I took her to two dermatologists. Nothing was helping. It was steadily getting worse.
Avatar m tn I used to use caffine to pick me up when the adderall was wearing off but I notice this always ended up in a downward spiral until I stop the caffine for about a week and felt good again. Instead of using caffine to pick me up once the adderall wears off I just take more adderall now but not enough to get that PEP feeling. If you take enough adderall to get the pepped up feeling every day your tolerance will increase quickly.
Avatar n tn Now my question is how does a 16 year old (or others of any age) abuse adderall? How exactly do they abuse adderall? How is it done? Im asking because I have high position that my daighter is not only "trying" to abuse her vyvanse but I think she also doing adderall and getting it off the streets (from friends she may know or known drug dealers). I can just see a big difference in her behavior.
Avatar m tn I am a 48 yr old female diagnosed with recurring severe depression. When I am not taking my meds, I am tired, can sleep all day, am completely unmotivated to do anything and do not want to socialize with anyone. I have tried several different meds and am currently taking Celexa and Adderall XR. My psy says that adding the Adderall will "kick in the Celexa" and make it work better. I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall.
Avatar f tn 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.
990354 tn?1307132886 t think she is taking them at the same time but, is it safe for her to take an adderall on occasion? She claims the adderall gives her more energy than the vyvanse so she takes it when she has a night that she is working late and so on. I am just making sure this is not harmful to her, I am a recoverying addict and am scared I am seeing the same signs in her.......
Avatar m tn My Doctor is working with me and helping me in any way he can. I have ADHA and use to take Adderall daily. I asked my doc if I could get back on it while taking Suboxone and he said yes and perscribed it to me again. My question is if I should be taking these two meds together or not? I know my doc perscribed them to me but I can't help but question if it's ok. Does anyone have any takes on this? I am taking 8mg Sub 2x daily and 30mg Adderall 2x daily right now.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn It's basically the same as a Red Bull and all energy drinks. NOT a relevant solution or replacement for Adderall. Generic IR Adderall isn't expensive at all and is called mixed amphetamine salts or amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts. Something like less than a dollar per pill.
Avatar m tn My son has been on Adderall for about 1 year. 20 mg am and 10mg after noon. He just started getting headaches and an upset stomach. Could this be from the Adderall?
Avatar m tn Nah, adderall is only an upper to someone who does not have Adhd. However, smoking is soothing. Wonder if you have the urges before the meds kick in?
