Avatar f tn Certain drugs could be responsible like metoclopramide, prednisone, effexor, an antidepressant, paxil, an SSRI, wellbutrin, an antidepressant, Zoloft an SSRI and dextroamphetamine, a CNS stimulant. Consult a neurologist soon who will evaluate you for these symptoms and investigate these appropriately. Take care.
Avatar n tn Phenylpropanolamine Acutrim® Decongestant / allergies, sinusitis, asthma Amphetamine Adderall® CNS stimulant / ADHD This includes dextroamphetamine and amphetamine / dextroamphetamine combinations.
Avatar m tn * Stimulant medications, such as dextroamphetamine-based drugs (Adderall, Vyvanese) and methylphenidate-based drugs (Concerta, Daytrana, Ritalin). They are also available as generics. * Nonstimulant medication, such as the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin and generic) or atomoxetine (Strattera), which is not available as a generic.
Avatar f tn your son has apparently experienced positive results with Concerta which is a form of methylphenidate, while Adderall is a form of dextroamphetamine (Ritalin and Dexedrine). Frequently the forms of methylphenidate work better for ADHD Hyperactive while the dextroamphetamines work better for the Inattentive. Which is your son? To compound matters further if he is an "active" young man, is his activity "motor" or "distractablitIy" driven?
Avatar m tn I have been on MS Contin,and Percocet for about 3 years,and over that time I have gotten increases to where I am now which is 300MGs MS Contin and 60MGs percocet.My question is,if I take my meds as directed can I keep my tolerance where it is?Or is there a way to keep it from going up?Maybe taking a little less once in a while? I don't want to go any higher on the dosage,what I am on now makes certain activities difficult as it is.Thanks for any help.
Avatar f tn At least once a year we lose control and have to stop because of the tolerance increase. 10 days ago we both stopped taking between 4-5 40mg OC per day. Kratom is the easiest way to stop, and people in other countries have used it for centuries. It's legal, and it works, and it's the Creators gift to heroine addicts. Look it up on U-Tube. Tastes like mud but it makes you feel normal without any withdrawal symptoms. I gotta go so good luck bro, may Yahweh be with you.
Avatar f tn This past weekend we were discussing (not arguing) and the topic of tolerance came up. I said that these pills should never have been given for long term pain management because there is no way to help with the tolerance and the constant need to have more to achieve the same level of pain management. He says that is NOT true. He believes that if it is truly only being used for pain and not for ANY kind of high then you dont build up a tolerance.
Avatar f tn Ive been on pain meds for 5 or so years, and am curious if anyone else who has taken them for that long, has experienced them 'not working' anymore? we build our tolerance, and eventually its not the same. does that mean its time to stop taking them b/c they arent working like they used to? or wein down to get tolerance lower? does this get to a point where regardless of how hight the dosage, there comes a point where they stop working all together?
Avatar m tn t expensive at all and is called mixed amphetamine salts or amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts. Something like less than a dollar per pill.
1165577 tn?1263001618 You are right about the drugs being in the same family, they are all psychostimulants mainly composed of amphetamine and/or dextroamphetamine, levoamphetamine,and other stuff like that... SugieSprinks, the medication change won't affect your weight simply because amphetamine kind of drugs decrease appetite regardless of the brand.I think the reason your doctor switched you to Vyvanse is because of the reduced side effects and drug lasting longer.
Avatar f tn 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.
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 f tn Hi, Adderall, a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, can stimulate the central nervous system and affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. This is usually indicated for narcolepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and may be used for migraine prevention. Hope this helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar m tn You don't say why you are taking Clonidine? Because of your age, I'm going to guess that it's for attention-deficit disorder. One of the side effects of Clonidine can be a sense of shortness of breath. Vyvanse, another med for ADHD, can also cause shortness of breath. There is no medication with the name 'dextromaphane,' but there is Dextroamphetamine. Is this what you are taking? It also is used to treat ADHD.

Avatar f tn So I did my 1 hour glucose tolerance last week and got my results today. Kinda upset...they came back abnormal. They like for the glucose to be under 140 and mine was 164. About 3 hours after drinking the glucola last week my sugar dropped to 42, luckily I'm a nurse and noticed what was going on and immediately checked my sugar and then ate. But anyway...I go back on Friday to do my 3 hour glucose and am so nervous it is going to come back positive too.
10178628 tn?1408331209 Can I be blunt? Do you really think your doc does not believe in tolerance? EVERYBODY knows tolerance exists. He just doesn't want to UP your dose. And waving literature in his fact is gonna **** him off. "Well, doctor, this internet forum I posted to says tolerance really exists, and you're wrong...." LOL Tolerance is so real that there are SEVERAL posts on this forum, as well as others, about how people take their opiate pills *exactly* as prescribed (e.g.
Avatar f tn I take generic loratabs for pain because I have cronic/progressive pain issues, I do need them for pain but at this point I have developed a tolerance that is pushing me over the line from needed to abusing...I worry about damaging my liver and heart or simply becoming a true addict and hurting my family but I need pain relief. So my question is this, if I am going to get back to being able to only use them when the pain is unbearable how long must I detox before I loose the tolerance?
Avatar m tn I have been taking clonazepam 0.5 mg b.i.d. for about a year now. It seems that I have built a tolerance to the medication, and now I'm worried because I've heard that this dosage is the most effective for panic disorder / anxiety. I will talk to my doctor about this but wanted to know if anyone had any insight or suggestions. I've heard of the option of combining an SSRI with the clonazepam. Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
1134609 tn?1269272200 So, I have been on ever increasing doses of Neurontin for years now; it's been my stand by as an anti-anxiety drug and a mood stabilizer (I'm BP2) However, it seems like I develop a tolerance to it pretty quickly and when I do so, each dose jacks up my anxiety level like you wouldn't believe. I got off of it a few years ago for that very reason.. My shrink and I want to use it as the primary 'downer' medication for me, but it's driving me nuts.
712042 tn?1254569209 Well, it is a real phenomenon which is caused by the body's metabolism of NTG and nitric oxide. What happens after prolonged exposure to nitgolycerin, the nitric oxide which is what nitroglycerin acts through gets to a certain degree depleted. This has been proven by measuring exhaled nitric oxide levels in the air that humans breathe out. At that point, the effect of NTG is attenuated.
