Common Questions and Answers about Adderall vs methamphetamine

adderall

Avatar m tn I know personally that I have never done such a drug but I do take adderall xr for my ADHD diagnosis. It is prescribed to me and everything. Is this what could of caused the positive reading? If so will further examination tell officials what exactly it is so my name is not associated with meth no longer. Or should I be worried?
Avatar f tn As he was grew up we tried different meds for short periods, but the adderall made his tics worse, the strattera did not do anything ( we recently just tried strattera agan for the recommended time and dosage), in the past 1.5 years he has been involved with pot (it helps his tics) and then moved on to meth. He said he was very focused on the meth and it did not bother his tics. I am completely puzzeled how adderall could have bothered his tics and on meth did not?????
Avatar m tn I am a heavy daily user of Methamphetamine (MA) and I want to stop using. A few years ago I found that an injection of Flumazenil (2mg), once daily over a period of two days, helped remove my withdrawal symptoms entirely. I was able to stay clean for 8 months and still manage all of my responsibilities (i.e. keep my job). I have since relapsed and I am currently using >1gram of MA a day.
Avatar m tn I know what you mean when you refer to Adderall as "that nasty, gross stimulant." I have been taking a total of 30 mg Adderall for about 6 mths now. It works great during the day, and has changed my life tremendously. I am able to complete the 200 projects that I start on everyday. But insomnia has made me it's ***** at night! If I could guess what a crack head feels like when coming down, the Adderall "comedown" would compare to it.
Avatar n tn This may be a weird question. I was prescribed Adderall a few months ago for my ADD but stopped taking it because I'm afraid of becoming dependent. I have a history of REALLY bad colds that turn into debilitating sinus infections. I have constant headaches, stiffness, pain, drowsiness, dizziness, congestion, and more. Coughing, brushing my teeth, and sometimes just moving make me puke mucus at least 3 times a day, usually 5. I get them 3-4 times a year, and nothing works.
Avatar m tn Strattera does not have methamphetamine, and thus works in a different way. Although if you do really have ADHD, the methamphetamine will affect you very differently than a normal person (it will actually slow you down). Only real way to find out if you have OCD is to see a good psyc. Probably would be a good idea just so you find out how to deal with ADHD besides self medicating . There is an OCD forum on this site that should also prove helpful.
1367899 tn?1278121440 My sister and I started a blog on Adderall to learn more about the medication along with alternative and complementary ADHD treatment options. Any feedback from users of Adderall or Adderall XR would be greatly appreciated. Topics to be added this week on http://Adderall.org How is Adderall XR different from Adderall? [Adderall vs. Adderall XR] What is Adderall? How to Make Adderall: [Adderall Background Information] What are the best Adderall and ADHD books?
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.
Avatar f tn When I read you were adding adderall I felt compelled to relay my experience. Adderall is basically legalized speed. Do yourself a favor and try all other options before turning to adderall. I was addicted to adderall. I just finished physical withdrawals and now I'm dealing with phychatric withdrawals. This drug is sold on the streets and you might find yourself needing more and more in order for it to work. Just be careful!
372416 tn?1242665752 heroin is a classic example of shedule 1 - - with the possible exception of very limited Government research amounts being made available to proper individuals...methamphetamine seems to be the new kid on the block.....
Avatar f tn Parents are asking for FACTS so I am providing the FACTS to them, you can read or ignore.. My cousins little boy was extremely bad in Elementary school, he would scream out bad words, hit teachers, hit other children.Her school tried to force her to get him on adderall. She refused and instead put him in karate and got more involved in his sports. His behavior changed dramatically and he is making good grades in school.
Avatar f tn , 20mg vicodin and 30mg adderall, twice a day for months simultaneously. In the same way that heroin and vicodin are opiates, methamphetamine and adderall are amphetamines. Amphetamines are highly addictive in the mental sense and yes given time can cause nasty issues such as high blood pressure and heart attack, not to mention the horrible comedown speed is well known for.
Avatar f tn I have tried almost all the stimulants and all the non, the only one that seems to work is Adderall. I am not comfortable w/ the fact that it is a salt away from methamphetamine which makes me feel as though I am feeding my child a street drug. I am curious to natural meds.
Avatar f tn Why is it that my pupils become so extremely dilated after just a few hours of taking my daily morning dosage of one 20MG Adderall XR and one or two 5MG Adderall (Immediate Release) tablets???!!!! It is terribly embarrassing to look anyone in the eye now. I never used to feel so self-conscious about my appearance & social acceptance/perception, etc.. It's like this drug is has turned me into walking & talking oxymoron of a person.
Avatar n tn I know no one here is really qualified to answer this, but how would you think a low dose (10mg) of adderalls stimulating effects, compare to drinking energy drinks, and using nicotine several times a day (I chew, about 3 times per day). I am on a low dose of adderall, 5mg twice per day, it should probably be more but it has a positive effect and im comfortable with it right now.
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.
Avatar n tn I was addicted to methamphetamines for a few years. To tell if someone is using can be hard at times but thats if you dont know what to like for. Look for behavior that seems to lack logic, sometimes the same way a person will act if they are having a panic attack or under a lot of stress. A lot of people also clench there teeth when their using. When you come down and stop using you do sleep a lot thats pretty much the detox. The hardest part is not stopping but not relasping.
Avatar m tn Please note that the PK profile of methamphetamine was based on the available prescription strength methamphetamine, which is a pure form of methamphetamine that is produced in a safe, sterile and regulated environment. Prescription methamphetamine would not contain additional additives and adulterants that crystal methamphetamine may possess. For more information about prescription methamphetamine, please refer to its product labeling.
Avatar f tn Adderall is a methamphetamine and it is usually prescribes for those with ADD, even adults with ADD. Did your husband ever get diagnosed with ADD as a child? Does he have problems completing tasks at work? I was put on a different type of medication similar to Adderall last year when I told my doc I was falling behind at work......psychiatrists prescribe it all the time. I didnt like them too much, I took it once in awhile when I needed a boost, but they made me feel keyed up so I stopped.
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 f tn My friend was scheduled for hernia surgery today, but it was canceled because he used methamphetamine two days ago. What are the risks of interaction between methamphetamine and anesthesia and how long should he abstain before it's safe to have surgery?
Avatar m tn not personal experience with adderall....but it is normal to feel fatigue with adderall wd...it is not life threatening and for the most part it is a mental wd vs narcotics being both/mental and physical...the fatigue is common among narc wds as both drugs supply extra endorphins to the brain//many feel fatigue after narcotic cessation to be a physical symptom like the runs...but it is a result of taking endorphins away and waiting on the brain to "catch up" on endorphin production....
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 So that must be a new one as well? Also I used to take Adderall XR and that is a great medicine as well. I just took it for so long that it started to not work and help me the same way anymore.
