Avatar f tn I know amphetamine is the metabolite of methamphetamine, when you ingest meth, you have both methamphetamine and amphetamine in your urine, hair, or nails. I am about to lose my children over this and I swear I am not a user of methamphetamine. I know meth can be transferred through skin contact, is it possible contact with my husband after he uses such as laying with him, touching his clothes, kissing him, etc can make me fail the sensitive drug tests??
Avatar m tn Good link here on straterra - http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Strattera Basically it is an antidepressant. Has no stimulants in it. Thus I would think that it should pose no problem with urine or hair tests - unless, they are screening for antidepressants.

2125174 tn?1339238689 gov/publications/infofacts/methamphetamine Methamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant drug that is similar in structure to amphetamine. Due to its high potential for abuse, methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled. Although methamphetamine can be prescribed by a doctor, its medical uses are limited, and the doses that are prescribed are much lower than those typically abused.
Avatar f tn I put my daughter on a amphetamine after i see the effects and benefits and try other things like behavior management and therapy. It helped a little but when my daughter was getting Ds and Fs in school and could not sit for more then 10 mins and talking out in class and other things that you do not need to know. I had decided that it is time to take other action and put her on meds.

Avatar n tn The cravings and depression that follow quitting will be extreme, methamphetamine release large amounts of dopamine and serotonin in the brain and is so addictive. He can do this, but needs to want it and come up with a plan. Do you have any more info?
Avatar f tn Is there anyone out there who knows more about amphetamine addicts and Naltrexone Implants? I appreciate Naltrexone is primarily used for heroin addicts and alcoholics, however, my boyfriend can't be the only meth addict who has been given this implant....and there doesn't seem to be anyone either of us can relate to or discuss what he's going through on this one. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I am not familiar about with tics, but I can say that Adderall is amphetamine and is a cousin of methamphetamine whereas Desoxyn is methamphetamine. Maybe this is a drug that you could research thoroughly and might help him out. Best of luck with your son and his and your families recovery.
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 m tn I also believe learning new ways of thinking and coping are vital. Tell us more about yourself and more experienced amphetamine users can help you more. Congrats on searching for solutions, that is an important step.
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 f tn Ephedrine is the central ingredient in the manufacture of modern bath tub methamphetamine. If you were to take 60mgs of ephedrine and convert it to meth, it would get you very high. The way you are taking it builds tolerance, as you found out, and the same addiction issues as a meth addict. Detox of amphetamines definitely causes depression, but depression alone doesn't cause eating disorders on it's own. Like mentioned above, you self-image was suffering before the ephedrine.
Avatar n tn After threatening to throw them out of the condo and cut off all funds, they told me they had quit. They slept for days and were very depressed. Now everyone is happy again - my son actually acts euphoric. However, he has not looked for a job yet. The girl says she is pregnant. I am going crazy. I cannot continue to support them and my son knows this.
Avatar m tn (I can verify emphatically that when on meth amphetamine, the virus is subdued or sheds silently) I am not HIV +, have very recently undergone a full and extensive medical which gave me clean bill of health. I am 41 male.
Avatar m tn My pulse is exceptionally weak and my blood pressure is 156/90 after taking one (1) 500mg Naproxen and an amphetamine. I went and got my blood pressure checked, as well as my resting heart rate. The nurse never actually tried to feel my pulse, though. So I came home and I am very worried about how weak my pulse is. Has anybody heard weather or not taking Naproxen with an amphetamine can be harmful because it is not in the drug facts and I cannot find anything about it online either.
Avatar f tn Actually, clinical studies have shown that phentermine causes more heart conditions than amphetamine, but Big Pharm and the FDA are in bed together, nobody wants to leave all those billions of dollars left to nutritionists and work out trainers.
Avatar n tn This friend has previously been an occasional user of methamphetamine, and has not smoked since since the accident. He wants to do it once, but is trying to find out what the effects are (if any) of methamphetamine on healing bones. Any information you can share would be helpful. Cheers!
Avatar n tn Ye of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues reported on a laboratory study looking at whether methamphetamine inhibits innate immunity in host cells, thereby facilitating HCV replication in human hepatocytes (liver cells). Results • Methamphetamine inhibited natural intracellular interferon alpha expression in human hepatocytes, which was associated with increased HCV replication.
Avatar f tn I'm curious if you have diagnosed with adhd? When used properly, adhd medications are not suppose to give you this burst of energy to clean or anything like that. When that happens, it is being used as speed. Then you are taking sleep aides and Xanax to come back down? Anyway, your pupils are dialated because it is an amphetamine and your body is reacting to it. You'll have to judge whether that is worth it. Every medication has an up side and a down side.
Avatar f tn Hey I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm not sure whether it's safe to take my medication? I haven't taken any since I found out just incase. Can anyone help?
3433054 tn?1397115108 The predominance of these demographics, the researchers claim, can help doctors identify methamphetamine use among pregnant women and help circumvent morbid maternal and neonatal outcomes. Sometimes the physical characteristics of methamphetamine abuse—such as "meth mouth," low weight, and skin sores—can indicate a methamphetamine-abusing patient to a health physician.
Avatar f tn After reading this I went back and read your other post. When you talk about Meth are your referring to Methamphetamine or Methadone? Because the "voices" you hear and the turning off of the light so no one can see you seems like you would be talking about methamphetamine. If that's so, you may want to seek professional help. I grew up with many friends on methamphetamine who started hearing voices while on meth and they continued even after quitting.
250084 tn?1303307435 s been used for yrs. for those things. There is a big difference in that and street meth tho....(not that I agree with giving it to kids! ) Prescribed meth::::: Methamphetamine (pronounced /ˌmɛθæmˈfɛtəmiːn/ listen) also known as metamfetamine (INN), dextromethamphetamine, methylamphetamine, N-methylamphetamine, and desoxyephedrine) is a psychoactive stimulant drug. It increases alertness and energy, and in high doses, can induce euphoria, enhance self-esteem, and increase sexual pleasure.
Avatar m tn i am not prescribed methamphetamine. while yes methamphetamine is highly addictive and highly abused. IT CAN BE PRESCRIBED FOR ADHD AND WEIGHTLOSS. Meth is a schedule 2 drug which means that it has a HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE but HAS MEDICAL USES. I dont believe it is used much at all but it is out there under the brand name of DESOXYN. i was curious if anyone out there was taking it. cocaine is schedule 2 as well. They can be prescribed.
