adderall

Avatar m tn Both do take a while to take effect (compared to a stimulant). If you google them, you will be able to see lots of anecdotal posts on how it worked for that poster or their children. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Adderall is so damn expensive. There's these capsules that they sell at headshops, called "adoral" and it's supposed to be a legal adderall. I'm very skeptical, is it safe to replace an adderall script with this stuff? And is it safe to take?
Avatar m tn t talk to that point. But adderall does clear the system fairly quickly - which is why you have to retake it daily. That kind of makes me doubt the synergistic effect, but really don't know. This site lists 485 drugs and 3569 generic meds that have interactions with Adderall. I didn't see finasteride listed, but I didn't check out the generic versions. The site is - http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/amphetamine-dextroamphetamine,adderall-index.html Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I Have adderall but I am also afraid that when I have to go back to work in three days I will need the adderall just like I needed the vicodin which will lead me to relapse. I have a very busy life and the reason I have not quit before is that I never have time to be sick. I know it is a dumb excuse but it is the truth. If anyone has any advise I would really appreciate it.
Avatar f tn I have been prescribed many meds and nothing works until I go to sleep. Recently I was recommended to try adderall, since my son started to complaining at migraines, I was explained that he is hyper and that could cause migraines. Lately my migraines were getting longer than 1 month, sometimes would last up to 3 months straight. Go to sleep with migraine and wake up with one. Since I tried adderall, I can hardly remember those heavy duty migraines! It works great for my hypertensives.
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 Hello there and welcome to the medhelp forum. The combination of drugs, citalopram that is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and amphetamine and dextroamphetamine that are dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor is not recommended. Amphetamines may possess serotonergic activity and should not be administered with SSRIs as there is an additive risk of serotonin syndrome. Enhanced sympathomimetic effects is possible.
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?

Avatar n tn Now she is taking 40mg of Vyvanse. It seems to work as well as Adderall and has no GI side effects however, she now does this hand movement thing....its not a tick, and seems to be both voluntary and involuntary. Like sometimes she is aware of it but is drivin to do it subconsiously. She places her hands(both of them), palm facing outwards, to her mouth and wiggles all ten of her fingers rapidly into the air.
Avatar n tn ve never been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD but about 2 nights ago, my roommate offered me 4 dextroamphetamine pills to help me study for all of my midterms. I took them all, and my heart was beating really fast and my chest felt tight. Those symptoms went away but now I'm noticing that my arms and head feel slightly shaky. Also, I feel like I'm worse at reading and typing. Is it possible to get permanent side effects from one time abuse of adderall?
Avatar n tn Phenylpropanolamine Acutrim® Decongestant / allergies, sinusitis, asthma Amphetamine Adderall® CNS stimulant / ADHD This includes dextroamphetamine and amphetamine / dextroamphetamine combinations.
Avatar m tn I still feel the effects of WD but no where near what it should be! I took them to get to work I plan to take 10mg for another 2 days and then 2.5 for 2 more and then STOP. just wondering if that is ok to do. I know using one for the help of another isn't ideal but I just couldn't miss work. I know me bad I will NOT continue the adderall So do u think that's ok?
Avatar n tn I do appreciate any input, but I feel that if I am charged to speak with a physician, they should take the time to look at my questions and try to answer them if at all possible. 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.
1394098 tn?1385960134 I think adderall can effect the liver. I would not think it would be a good idea. You need to rest . I understand obligation to help family but running your self into the ground is not going to help anyone. Take care of yourself so you can be around for along time.
Avatar m tn My doc prescribed me 70mg Vyvanse, to compare with my Adderall dose previously prescribed. When feeling the effects of Vyvanse it is truly a saving grace and I really feel "limitless". I think clear, I don't feel over stimulated or the out of body experience like other ADHD drugs. I'm in an industry that I must utilize critical problem solving skills, think extremely creative and relay high end technical knowledge to CIO's and executives on a daily basis.
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 n tn # HIGH ABUSE POTENTIAL Adderall carries a black box warning—the strongest warning issued by the FDA short of a drug recall—informing consumers about the serious risk of Adderall abuse. This Adderall warning states that taking amphetamines for long periods may lead to Adderall addiction. The warning details the significant risks posed when Adderall is taken for non-therapeutic use or is distributed to others.
Avatar f tn I would read the literature to check. Both vyvanse and adderall say you can open the capsule as long as you don’t crush the beads. Hope that’s helpful.
Avatar f tn First off Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, it can become addictive. It contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine that are central nervous system stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. These medications were NOT prescribed for you and it would be wise for you not to take the 4 that you have left and give them back to your friend.
Avatar f tn I was on Lexapro for 2 years for anxiety (no ADD yet diagnosed) and I felt better, but gained 30 pounds. Now I need to decide what I am comfortable to start taking to deal with the ADD, as it is causing problems at work (no focus, scattered, etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions as to what meds that they were successful with (I know all meds effect people differently, but so I have an idea of whats out there).
Avatar f tn Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.
Avatar f tn Hi Sarah! Yes, that would be Adderall, which is most commonly prescribed for ADHD, narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder) and in some cases chronic fatigue, if the other meds don't work as you mentioned. It's amphetamine, but it's also combined with dextroamphetamine, and they're both central nervous system stimulants that effect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.
Avatar m tn When I desolve the tablet in a glass of water, and then drink the water the Dextroamphetamine will start to work much faster, and 2-3 times stronger also my pupils will dilate for a while..But when I just take the tablet orally without desolving it into water, it will work but not so strong and also my pupils dont dilate....Does someone know an answer to this?
Avatar n tn Very individual. May take up to one hour to be effective. Usually lasts6–8 hours. In some individuals it may be effective all day. In others it may last only four hours. Most will take twice a day, six hour intervals Excellent safety record. May be the best drug for some individuals: longer acting, smooth course of action. May avoid lunch time dose at school. Slow onset of action. May require a short–acting medication at the start of the day. But consult doctor for everything........
Avatar f tn I agree. Isn't adderall for ADD or ADHD? It's suppose to have a calming effect for those who need to concentrate. I've never heard of someone being prescibed adderall for energy. I'd personally stay clear of that 1. Good luck and let us know.
