It is an extremely horrible combination. I did the same 3 years ago because I wanted the effects of both. I ended up being a walking zombie I was so sedated. I lost 30 pounds and felt like I wasn't living my life at all and had suicidal thoughts....DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. I am majoring in Psych for this reason... ADHD is commonly diagnosed because doctors don't have the "time" it takes to accurately figure out the real issue. I was improperly "drugged" with ADHD meds from 18 to 22. I went fromg gaining 40 pds to loosing 30 in 2 months, then hospitalized for anemia. Just to find out what I had been saying for years...no it has to be something else, I know my body better than anyone. I started researching and found out that I was a little manic depressive. I took this diagnosis to thde last psychiatrist (3) and we as a team discovered that in fact I was correct and finally diagnosed with mild to moderate bi-polar disorder. Do not trust in doctors, know your body. Until a child can speak and know how they are feeling please do not drug them up unnecessarily.
No it wouldn't have the same affects. Strattera is a non-stimulant, non controlled drug used for ADHD. Adderall is a stimulant and a controlled drug. I take Adderall for narcolepsy to keep me awake. Adderall can also be taken for ADHD.
It increases the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
No; Strattera is in no way chemically similar to amphetamines.
Strattera's a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, used to treat ADD or ADHD... opioids are used mainly for pain relief.
The same ones for ADHD hyperactivity sub-type such as Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Strattera, etc. Sometimes antidepressants such as Prozac can aid in the inattentive subtype as well.
The prescription Adderall will stay in your system for 1 to 2 days. Adderall is a drug that is prescribed to help treat ADHD symptoms.
Answer: No, Strattera is the first FDA- approved non stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. HOWEVER, IT HAS A BLACK BOX WARNING FOR POTENTIAL SUICIDAL THOUGHTS IN CHILDREN. It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and works on the central nervous system very differently than that of a stimulant drug. I hope this helps****
Because Adderall is presdcribed for the treatment of ADHD, depression, and narcolepsy. If you have either of these(or similar diseases) you will be prescribed Adderall. Xanax is prescribed for people with anxiety, insomnia and epilepsy. So if you were for example a patient with ADHD and anxiety you may be prescribed Xanax and Adderall.
yes, it can trigger bipolar symptoms, as can anti-depressants and other ADHD meds. - especially if u are not on a mood stabilizer
No, Adderall is not a nitrate. Adderall is a prescription medication that contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are central nervous system stimulants used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Nitrate medications are a different class of drugs used to treat angina and heart disease.
These are 2 totally different medications. Adderall is a stimulant used to treat ADHD and Xanax is a sedative used for anxiety. So to answer your question, xanax is better.
A class of drugs called psychostimulants or stimulants have been used to effectively treat ADHD for several decades. A list of stimulant drugs to treat ADHD includes:Adderall and Adderall XRConcertaDexedrineFocalin and Focalin XRMetadate CD and Metadate ERMethylin and Methylin ERRitalin, Ritalin SR, Ritalin LAVyvanseDaytranaQuillivant XR
