I have the same question! I am experincing terrible side effects from this drug. The side effects do not outweigh the benefits for me. My job requires me to be very alert and demands immediate decisions. Stratterra has been a nightmare for me so far. Im 28 and I have been on 40 mgs for 10 days. My side effects are getting worse and I feel like this drug is not for me. I feel like I need something else . . . this is all new to me. Any suggestions on how to ask for different treatments?

If Concerta makes you sick how do you get your doctor to prescribe you adderall instead?
Well, if concerta makes you sick then you should definitely tell your doctor and if he switches your meds there is probably an 80% chance he will prescribe adderall or some generic form b/c Ritalin and adderall are the go-to ADD meds

What does Vyvanse show up as in a drug test?
It will show up as Amphetamine (whether legal: adderall, dexedrine, and vyvanse, or illegal: speed). Unfortunately they can not tell which you took, all it is to them is "AMPHETAMINE". SO unless you have a valid prescription you should be fine (not in all cases).
Is it safe to take adderall and Vyvanse together you have been prescribed 50 mg of Vyvanse to take in the am then in the afternoon 30mg of Adderall Is this safe?
First of all, 50 mg of Vyvanse is basically equivalent to 20mg of Adderall XR, so you're not really taking as much as it looks like. They are safe to take together because Vyvanse is all a d-amphetamine, and Adderall is a mixture of that plus other types of amphetamines. However, 40 mg of Adderall is the maximum recommended daily dose for ADHD, but up to 60 mg is okay for narcolepsy, but I don't think what you've got is too much unless you're sensitive to amphetamines. I'm guessing that if it's for ADHD your doctor prescribed that mix because Vyvanse is made to last up to 14 hours and there is no quick release version available. You might need a little boost in the afternoon if that's when you do a lot of work, but you can't take more Vyvanse or you'll never sleep, so quick release Adderall would definitely do the trick. Yes it's safe, and I'm trying to basically get that same prescription. I already take 50 mg of Vyvanse daily, and it starts to lose its effect by the time I'm doing most of my work so I need an extra kick that won't keep me up all night. Tell me if it works for you :) This is the original answer, but he doesn't know what might work for you better than you and your doctor do; meds are very personal. Anyway here: If I remember correctly, vyvanse is meant to last over a long period, so yea, 80 grams per day expanded over the entire day(16-18 hours that you are awake) is safe. If you are taking it for obesity/epilepsy/narcolepsy/etc, that is fine. I have found however, for adhd, it seems to work better for me at lower doses then at higher doses. If this the initial prescription that the doctor gave you, or a revised prescription? If it is the initial prescription, I would ask the doctor for a lower booster, but keep the vyvanse the same. If it it because lower doses do not seem to affect you, however, then it is fine. But, keep in mind that your diet dramatically effects how much adderall you absorb, as well as long it stays in your system. This won't affect vyvanse as much because it is a prodrug, but make sure you notify your doctor of any changes in your diet, and any euphoria you might experience. It is common to experience euphoria right after a change in dosage, but if it seems to last more then a week then your dosage is too high and you are at risk of becoming dependent... which is not a good thing.
How do you switch antidepressant medications?
Ask your doctor. He can tell you what you are on and what you might be Abe to switch to, as well as the side effects if any.
Are there any supplements to Adderall?
Answer: If you mean to ask if theres something you can take to replace Adderall, perhaps you could ask your doctor about prescription Strattera HCI. It is a non-stimulant ADHD medication. This means that it is very unlikely to cause dependence. There are other stimulanyt ADHD medications that are similar but not exactly the same as Adderall. There is Dexedrine or Vyvanse. There are others of the "amphetamine and dextroamphetamine family". It is important to talk to your doctor before quitting your medications, or switching.
Will Vyvanse show up as pcp on a drug test?
No. Vyvanse is an ADHD medication and is classified as amphetamines. You will fail a drug test for amphetamines, not PCP. It is highly unlikely to fail a drug test for an illegal drug (cocaine, pcp, etc) by taking a prescription drug. The only example of this occurring is failing for methamphetmine (illegal---crystal meth) when you have only taken ampethamine (legal with prescription---adderall, vyvanse, etc). This depends on the type of test you take. Some tests cannot tell the difference.
Can i blood test and urine test tell the doctor how long you been taking adderall?
no. In a blood test it will only show if you've taken adderall in the past 12 hours. Urine test, anywhere from 2-4 days. The only way the doctor can tell how long you've been using it is by a hair follicle test. Up to 90 days in hair. Could be longer depending on the length of hair they take.
Can they tell that it is Vyvanse in your system?
Yes, both through blood and urine testing.
Can you get asked by a doctor to take a drug test because your on adderall?
A good doctor will deal with your problem, the type of personality you are and what medications work best for you. There could be a better medication to give you. Make sure you learn about Adderall and give your doctor reasons why you would like to try this medication and if your doctor agrees then work closely with your doctor and take the medication EXACTLY as your doctor tells you to take it and DON'T STOP taking it without discussing it with your doctor.
