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 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 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 m tn Amphetamine is speed. It is a controlled prescription substance, but is also found on the street and is illegal in that form. Street names are meth, crank, crystal. If this was also found in your urine along with the clonazepam, and you did not take either, then it would be good to see if you can retake the urine test.
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 n tn I've never heard of cortisol causing a positive test for meth. Cortisol is a naturally produced hormone in the body and I'm pretty sure it has NO chemical similarity to amphetamines.
805775 tn?1259592170 I am not sure why my dr. stuck me on Amphetamine salts er 20mg twice a day I told him that I stay tired and can't lose wieght but I am nervous about taking it not real sure what he is trying to prove with adhd meds for a thyroid problem Can anyone help me with this?
Avatar m tn Hi, Adderall is a psychostimulant or sympathomimetic amine composed of mixed amphetamine salts. The drug is used primarily to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy. Numbing of the hands and feet may occur with taking a larger dose of adderall than prescribed. You must get this examined to make sure that you are not suffereing from any side-effects of adderall usage. keep us posted and let us know if you need any more information.
Avatar n tn The dose might be too high. I've had similar things happen when I was on too high a dosage of Adderall. If I'm not mistaken, Vyvanse is a longer-duration version of dextroamphetamine - not too far from adderall, which is a mixture of amphetamine salts (mostly dextroamphetamine). Mention it to your pdoc - chances are it's from the dosage and it needs to be changed a bit. When mine was a bit too high, I noticed weird things like that, such as my tongue would continually rub my teeth.
Avatar f tn I am to the point where I take the ADHD stimulants, (VYVANSE - 70 mgX1 or 2, or 3 during the day) and/or Amphetamine salts 30mg. This is obvious signs of drug addiction/dependency/abuse. I know. Again - Without ADHD medications or antidepressants I still feel as terrible as I do while taking the ADHD medications. I understand this seems like I am being impossible, but I really cannot help but express what I have been feeling and thinking for the past who knows how long.
Avatar f tn As opposed to Adderall, which contains roughly equal parts of racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetamic salts, lisdexamfetamine is a single-enantiomer dextroamphetamine formula." wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisdexamfetamine Because it breaks down differently and is not affected by stomach acids, etc.
1752816 tn?1312180299 I do not want to be on all of this. The amphetamine salts seem to make it hard to sleep and cause the muscle pain in my body to worsen but when I was on it by itself, I didn't have impusivity issues. My family knows that I am not depressed. It is just hard to be motivated to do anything when I feel best lying down. My headaches are the same, regardless of posture. I often wish I could go on that show "Diagnosis Mystery" because I am usually treated like it is a mental problem.
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 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 I took Retalin for the last 10 years of Active Duty Army and was drug tested regularly and randomly. I can tell you for a fact, the salts that are missing in Retalin, as opposed to amphetemines, makes the difference. It's not the same drug as amphetamine, almost but not same. That's why it's not addicting to us ADHD people. Just some facts for you. Besides, with a perscription from a Army hospital Doctor, what they gonna say?" http://www.topix.
1929058 tn?1323110747 t remember names right now) can not obtain the l-amphetamine salts from the company that produces it. The pharmacy speculated that the distributor is nearing is annual limit in terms of amount they can produce. I'm not sure if that is for real or not - but it sounded credible enough.
Avatar f tn Adderral is amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, I'm sure you heart is racing and are feeling anxious. I've taken that much before, but I took more and more over a few days. If you jumped from 10mg to 100mg too fast it could be trouble. ImDone is right, you should go to a doctor. Do you think you are an addict or just made a mistake? You're probably coming down a little by now, sorry I didn't see this post, had a bad day yesterday.
Avatar n tn i shot Amphetamine-Dextroamphetamine 10 mg, filled half a cc syringe i think to the 40 and injected it into my arm the first try was unsucsessful and obviously the second .
Avatar f tn Vyvanse is an extended release form of dextroamphetamine, also known as dexedrine. (I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty confident that my info is correct.) Dextroamphetamine is an amphetamine, which is what most people mean when they call something "speed." There are several well-known, widely used amphetamines (by "used" I mean both used legally, as prescribed by physicians, and used illegally, also known as abused).
Avatar m tn I dont have sources, but i believe that caffeine is catalyzing the L-lysine-dextroamphetamine metabolation in some way. And that this is the reason for my similar experiences with "ups and downs" through the day. I also lowered my dosage because of sleep issues, now Im at 50mg and I do feel its more balanced. You said that you had tried 70mg x 2 one time, with no apparent extra effect. 70mg is considered the max effective dosage I think.
