Can you take aspirin while taking adderall?

Asked by Wiki User

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

There is no documentation of interactions between aleve and Ritalin or aspirin and Ritalin. But there is a negative interaction if you take aspirin and aleve at the same time.

ASPIRIN may interact with NAPROXEN (in Aleve)

Naproxen is broken down by the liver and removed from the body in the urine. If this happens too quickly, then potentially less naproxen would be available for the body to use and blood levels could become too low. This could make naproxen less effective. Aspirin may cause naproxen to be broken down at a faster rate than normal. Based on information from a number of studies, this does not appear to have a significant impact on the therapeutic effect of naproxen. However, both of these drugs can cause stomach irritation and may potentially damage the lining of the stomach. The risk of experiencing these side effects may be increased when aspirin and naproxen are taken at the same time. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.

Is smoking cigarettes while taking adderall harmful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nicotine is an agonist (a drug that increases the action of a neurotransmitter). It does this by binding to post-synaptic receptors and activates and or increases their effects. In other words, you take some Adderall and it floods your synaptic clefts with various neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) -- that's what provides you with the change in cognitive and bodily actions and perceptions -- if you are at the same time smoking a cigarette, the nicotine will "open up" and make the receptor sites for these neurotransmitters more effective, allowing more of the neurotransmitters to be transmitted. This offers the same effect as an increased dose of the drug. If an SSRI is added to the mix it will block the deactivation or reuptake of the Adderall-produced neurotransmitters, making the effects both longer lasting as well as more intense. Consult a physician for further information regarding the effects and interactions between the drugs. Answer No physician would ever answer this question "yes." It is never healthy or okay to smoke no matter which medications you are on. The health impact of tobacco use is huge--stop now before you cause damage to your body. If you are unable to quit on your own, see a physician for help. Answer I take Adderall XR. 30mg 3 times daily, I also smoke. It's not healthy but it doesn't affect the Adderall. If it does I would suggest you talk with the prescribing doctor. Answer I was a smoker for 5 years and was (and still am) on Adderall XR 20mg for one year. During the time I was smoking around a pack a week. During that time I found it was a lot easier to smoke. Their were two down sides to this. The first (and most obvious), I was smoking a lot more than normal. The second was that I was a lot more on edge and had a couple of panic attacks. Since I quit smoking I've noticed that I'm a lot less likely to "freak out" and (big suprise) my lungs feel a ton better. Past this I have been unable to find a any research on the side effects of Adderall XR beiing taken with different substances... Answer If you feel a need to smoke while on Adderall, you should ask yourself if you have developed a tolerance to the Adderall that makes it less effective than when you first began taking it. This may well be the cause for your need to smoke. I say this because nicotine has an effect on the brain very similar to that of Adderall. If you have developed a tolerance to Adderall, nicotine can overcome that tolerance by basically giving the Adderall a boost. Unfortunately, if you are using the nicotine to overcome a tolerance you developed to the Adderall, you probably will not be able to quit smoking without your symptoms returning. Therefore, you have four choices: (1) increase the dose of Adderall recognizing that, in time, you will also develop a tolerance to that increased dose; (2) change to another medication; (3) supplement the Adderall with another medication; or (4) remain at your present dose and keep smoking to boost its effectiveness. Answer Dextroamphetamine (the chemical in adderall) is a stimulant, therefore it heightens brain activity and thoughts. Adderall XR is a time release pill. Adderall XR 30mg is actually 15mg for 6 hours and another 15mg for 6 hours. (Approx. four hours to five hours of effect, an hour or two come down, and four to five hours of effect, an hour or two come down.) Since dextroamphetamine goes directly to your liver to be broken down, then through your bloodstream to be sent to your brain, it is in your bloodstream throughout the day (while in effect). Nicotine is also a stimulant, even though it feels like a depressant. It constricts your blood vessels which increase your blood pressure and your heart rate, which gives you a good rush from the Adderall since your body is use to the dose already taken. I've wondered the same thing, and I've researched for months now, and here's my summary in words everyone can understand. It is taking a risk if you have heart problems, or any other cardiovascular troubles. Even though I chain smoke five cigarettes at a time when I'm on amphetamines (I take vyvanse recreationally once a month. Judge me. I don't care.) I'm 16 and enjoying life. Don't be a fool. Research anything before you take it. Be smart.

">Be smart about what you take. Putting my 2cents in. Doctors don't tell you all about what could happen so

read all the instructions you have that comes with the prescription you are

taking. This is no laughing matter I am the kind of person that finds out the

hard way and that is were I went wrong is because now I am suffering from

constant pain that I have no clue what causes it and now in this day and age

its to expensive to go see your doctor just for a regular check up in this

economy. So take this seriously and read the instructions and warnings about what you are taking, and (take notice of what are the side effects) so either take the drugs or take the natural way to getting better it is up to you. I also care about the facts about drugs and medications because this is your life I am talking about everyone is always putting their lives on the line even when it comes to taking something as small as a pill that may seem harmless :) but in the end either you get (good results or bad results) I say if you have a concern about the bad then take this advice and (start taking notice) be smart its you who are in control of your own well being be smart and take this into some kind of consideration.

The myth of smoking during pregnancy being harmful

Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:51 CDT

In about 1999 I was asked to analyze the data of pregnant women with respect to smoking for a major health insurance company. They were running a campaign to get pregnant women to stop smoking and they expected to find interesting data to support their case.

I used to teach college courses covering the topic. The text books said that smoking causes underweight premature babies. Because of this babies of smoking mothers are more likely to have birth defects. With alcohol, two drinks a day was considered safe, but with tobacco, there was no safe threshold. I thought this was rather strange. You smoke one cigarette while pregnant and you are more likely to have birth defects? Even for a hard core health fanatic that is difficult to believe.

Here is what was found in the data. Babies of smoking mothers average weight was 3232 grams (7.1 lbs.). Babies of non-smoking mothers averaged 3398 grams (7.5 lbs.). That is about a half pound difference and it is statistically significant. Seven pounds is a good healthy birth weight that does not set off any alarms. Babies are considered underweight if they are less than 2270 grams (5 lbs.). 4.5% of smoking mothers babies were underweight and 3.3% of non-smoking mothers babies were underweight. This difference is not significant. There is no indication here of a health risk from smoking based on weight.

The other risk factor is length of term. Normal gestation is 253 days. 4% of smoking mothers did not go to term and 7.8% of non-smoking mothers did not go to term. Smoking mothers did better than non-smoking mothers but the difference was not significant. There was obviously no risk from reduced term for smoking mothers.

Because the non-smoking mothers had heavier babies one would expect more C-Sections from the non-smoking mothers. There were about 20% more. This is significant at the .05 level but not the .01 level so you could argue the significance either way depending on your bias. The data here is limited because only 5% of pregnant women smoked but the trend for smoking mothers was toward less babies retained in the hospital, less C-Sections, insignificantly fewer pre-term deliveries and an insignificant increase in clinically underweight babies.

This data can be explained by assuming that when pregnant women are stressed, they self medicate to relieve the stress. Non-smoking women tend to eat more causing the baby to be larger and more difficult to deliver. This can also cause other problems. Smoking women tend to light up when under stress. This is less harmful to the baby than over-eating. For this reason smoking mothers tended to have better outcomes for baby and mother. They also cost less for the insurance company.

You might be interested in knowing that this information was not used. I was told that the medical insurance business is highly regulated by the government. The company was not allowed to tell the truth about these results even though it was better for the insurance company and for the patients.

I do not think these results suggest that women should start smoking when they get pregnant. I do think it indicates that it is very poor practice to try to get smoking mothers to stop smoking when they get pregnant.

About me

I have a Ph.D. in experimental psychology and have worked in both research and teaching. I am a health nut and do not endorse smoking or care to be around people smoking. I was shocked by these results. My bias if any is certainly against these results. However I think it is horrible to withhold information form people and intentionally give them bad advice to advance a political agenda.

With that said. I would assume that yes, you can. Almost anything can be done in chemistry. If a drug can be synthesized, I believe it would only make sense that you can reverse-synthesize. If a chemical reaction can happen within the body then, in the right conditions, it can be done outside of the human body. However, this would take knowledge in chemistry, accurate resources for information, most likely lab equipment, Tripsin enzyme, and Lisdexamfetamine.

Is Vyvanse more more similar to Ritalin or adderall?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Vyvanse is a stimulant of the amphetamine class that is used to treat ADHD. It is closely related to Adderall. Vyvanse is a schedule II controlled substance.
Strattera is a pseudostimulant used for the treatment of ADHD, since it has a much lower potential for abuse than amphetamines. It is not a member of the amphetamine class. It is not a scheduled controlled substance.



Strattera is classified as a non-stimulant drug, it is in the group of SNRIs - serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, while Vyvanse is a stimulant belonging to amphetamines.

Strattera cannot make one feel 'high', so it really has a very low potential for abuse. But when used for treatment of ADHD, Strattera works slower than Vyvanse and other stimulants. To achieve the desired effects one may need several weeks.

On the other hand, it is said that effects of Strattera are more steady, and patients on Strattera can feel fine all day long, while Vyvanse only boosts their abilities for a short period after being taken.

Does amphetamine increase appetite?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Taking amphetamine will decrease your appetite, and probably significantly. If I take 30mg of Adderall/Amphetamine in the morning, food is the last thing on my mind, and I often have to force myself to eat just to get vitamins and protein.

However, if you get addicted to the substance, one symptom of withdrawal is increased appetite.

You have been prescribed adderall 10mg would it hurt you if you took 20mg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer: Trust me, you'll live. Just don't accidently take 10x your recommended dose, that would be dangerous. You can skip your next dosage, if you want or just keep taking it when you're supposed too. It doesnt really matter, but I usually skip a day if I take more than I should. NOTE: You should just stick to your prescribed dosage. And because Adderall is a controlled substance, you can only get one prescription re-fill per month. So if I take more I skip a day mainly because I'll have one less dose that month anyways. Thats math for you. So basically there's no need to worry, even though I bet it felt weird since you took double your regular dosage. :) hope this helps.****

Can you take amphetamines on top of Suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Suboxone is an opiate, a downer, and amphetamines (aka speed) are an upper. So the speed will get rid of the sleepiness that Suboxone causes, and the Suboxone will get rid of the jittery feeling the speed causes. However, taking both downers and uppers at the same time is bad for your heart, so be very careful not to take too much of either drug.

Can adderall stop working once you have been on it for a long period of time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is definitely "yes." Your brain actually develops a tolerance to Adderall by creating more receptors. Once you develop a tolerance, the Adderall becomes less and less effective. You can overcome the tolerance temporarily by increasing the dose but, in time, your brain will also develop a tolerance to the new dose.

AddTabz Solves Adderall Shortage Feb, 12 , 2012by Lawrence Williams Adderall Drug Shortage Will Continue in 2012, Government Officials Say

A contentious relationship between drug manufacturers and the Drug Enforcement Agency may cause a continuing shortage of the attention deficit medication Adderall, which the FDA just added to its official drug shortages list, the New York Times reported.

As of 2007, about 9.5 percent, or 5.4 million, of school-aged children were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adderall prescriptions went up 13.4 percent from 2009 to 2010, and more than 18 million prescriptions were written for the drug, Reuters reported.

As demand for the drug grows, more and more patients have found the medication is out of stock at local pharmacies.

Experts say it's difficult to say where the reason for drug shortage lies. To manage controlled substances that can potentially be abused, the DEA sets manufacturing quotas for drug ingredients each year to control supplies like Adderall. But Adderall drug manufacturers, which include Shire Plc and Novartis, Teva and CorePharma LLC, say they cannot meet the growing demand for the product without looser limits from the DEA. The DEA questions whether there is actually a shortage of generic supplies, which are at an especially low supply, or whether the drug companies want to sell more of the expensive brand-name drugs.

Despite the growing demand, Special Agent Gary Boggs of the DEA's office of diversion control told the New York Times, "We believe there is plenty of supply."

Barbara Carreno, a DEA spokeswoman, told Reuters that hundreds of drugs that do not require a DEA quota, and those shortages are not caused by quota limits, but marketing ploys by drug makers.

"Any shortage of these products is therefore a result of decisions made by industry regarding manufacturing or distribution," Carreno told Reuters.

But a Teva spokesperson told Reuters, "Our production facilities are currently running at maximum capacity for Adderall utilizing all available API (the drug's active pharmaceutical ingredient). The catalyst for the problem is the quota system, not the business."

The addition of Adderall to the FDA drug shortage list comes on the heels of an executive order to ease drug shortages that Obama signed in October.

"The shortage of prescription drugs drives up costs, leaves consumers vulnerable to price gouging and threatens our health and safety," Obama said in a statement at the time. "This is a problem we can't wait to fix. That's why today, I am directing my administration to take steps to protect consumers from drug shortages, and I'm committed to working with Congress and industry to keep tackling this problem going forward."This article was published on .

Should adderall xr 30 mg say both on pill?

User Avatar

Asked by Rene7947

It depends on what you mean by "better".

They're both the same strength; +/- up to 20% in the active ingredients depending on which state you live in. Ask your local pharmacist if you live in the United States what your state laws regarding generics vs. name brand differences are in your state.

It also depends on the person. Age, weight, tolerance, general health, any previous mental or physical condition, and the actual reason for use play a factor in why some MDs Rx the IR (instant release) version instead of the XR (controlled release).

There are only minor differences between XR (extended release) and IR (instant release). The main one being that in the XR version, 1/2 of the tablets active ingredients will be released immediately and the other half will be released over time (4 hours later to be specific) via time-released technology in bead form using the Mictrotrol delivery system. 1 Maximum blood plasma concentration of the active ingredients with the XR version is typically achieved at 7 hours, while the IR version's plasma concentration is achieved at approximately 4 hours. (This, like all medications, is not standard, and depends on the person. I.e., all medications and their side-effects/plasma concentration true half-lives and a plethora of other factors are on a case by case basis per person).

Age-wise, an MD would be more likely to Rx children the XR version for a few reasons: Children metabolize Adderall faster 2, so they won't need to go to the nurse's office at school mid-day. (This could create stigma.) Children are also less likely to suffer from insomnia caused by the XR version's longer half-life than adults would.

At the moment, Adderall (in either version) is only legal in the United States. Canada made Adderall a schedule I drug/medication, which means it can be used for research purposes only/not prescribed. Adderall IR is only approved for narcolepsy and ADHD, while Adderall XR is not approved for narcolepsy . This does not mean that MDs cannot prescribe either/or for off-label reasons (treatment resistant depression; sleep cycle disorders), or to negate side effects on a case by case basis. For example, a 12 year old child could easily suffer from insomnia, so the IR version might be given instead of the XR version. Some adult patients with ADHD feel that there is more of a "crash/comedown" with the IR version, so they might try the XR version instead, whereas the majority of people with narcolepsy would not notice this crash/come down side effect with the IR version of Adderall.

Regarding your specific question, 30 mgs of Adderall is not such a low dose in either IR or XR version, considering that the suggested prescribing guidelines regarding dose is 20-40 mgs in adults with ADHD, and 20-60 in adults with Narcolepsy. Those are also not typical starting/beginner dosages.

If you ask this question out of recreational- use behaviors and curiosity, it is advised to let it be known that Adderall is a Schedule II medication in the United States for a reason. Adderall is made up of 4 stimulating "salts" in equal ratio (racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetaminesaccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate). A patient who has ADHD and/or Narcolepsy is unlikely to benefit from any "high" with this medication so they would clearly be at less of a risk for abuse, over-use and dependence than recreational users. Therefor, it has met the FDA's guidelines for being a Schedule II medication, and as such, should be used with precaution and under a medical doctor's supervision:

  • The drug or other substances have a high potential for abuse
  • The drug or other substances have currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, or currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions
  • Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence 3

Does Ritalin show up in your urine drug test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what urine is being tested for. Ritalin is detected in a intense Urine testing stage. For example The military does a full urine test of all drugs including Ritalin and Adderall to see if you are using it illegally or you are currently taking it just in case you did not reveal to your military personnel that you are taking it.

So overall yes it can be detected in urine but depends on how far the person conducting the test will detect the Ritalin at. This will cost more to perform since an overdose of Ritalin will not be detected still since it will be below the 450 count limit because Ritalin is not a strong control subsistance to detect compare to crack or cocaine. But don't get my wrong. I've passed just fine on most jobs. Also it depends how fast your body gets rid of it during the day so that's another reason why it can't be detected in the common urine tests today.

Some jobs do use new technology to detect Ritalin without going further into testing but this is not used much due to being a controversial issue of violating your medical rights to use it since it is against the Equal Rights act of your ADD Disability to use Ritalin if your prescribed to use it and they determine that you are using it or abusing it. So this is why it hasn't been showing up on your urine test radar levels.

So overall the answer is yes it can be detected but not in most common urine testing except for military drug testing and mostly intense testing for people who are on probation, which I was told that it doesnt get detected on that either.

This is probably the best answer because its actually a 75/25 chance to detect it depending on what your getting tested for. Mostly for most common things, I say no but with military testing and others I have to say yes since I've seen people get discharged due to abusing Ritalin while not be on it.

Overall Conclusion:

Military it will be detected at 100% and most job places are actually not be able to detect it unless they perform further testing or have new urine testing technology to detect it.

So In technical terms yes it can be detected. Common terms No. So 75% no 25% yes
