if by overuse you mean overdose, there is no known "antidote" that can stop a continuing rise in blood serum levels. however, if the overdose was recent, stomach pumping (gastric lavage) may be appropriate in an ER setting, and if the overdose was hours ago and the effects are continuing to worsen, some benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan) can be useful in calming the patient's nerves and anxiety that can result from overdose, as well as help prevent seizures, which are common in large Adderall overdoses. supportive care is the only treatment.

None. Adderall shows up on a drug test as methamphetamine (essentially no different than if you were doing meth). This is because the product contains amphetamine salts. But because amphetamines are PRESCRIPTION ONLY, you will not find them in any over the counter drugs.


Why is Adderall a perscribed and not over the counter?

Adderall is composed of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. These ingredients are chemically and physiologically almost identical to methamphetamine (meth, crystal, ice), all of which have an extremely high abuse potential and pose very serious health risks when taken in doses or frequencies above therapeutic limits. Adderall is a controlled substance (DEA schedule 2, the most strictly controlled that are still legal to prescribe). It is not available over the counter because Adderall should only be used under the supervision of someone's psychiatrist or physician. If Adderall was over the counter, it would be highly abused, used incorrectly, and/or be used by people who do not need it or people who could encounter very serious health risks from taking it (I.E. Heart attack patients, anorexics, etc.)
