If you take 10mg of adderall and go up in mg what are the effects?
Depends on tolerance and how much you go up by. If you take 10mg then go up to 20mg, the effects may last longer.
Can taking Adderall be harmful if you work out?
Answer:
I'm pretty sure there is no harm in working out on Adderall. But there is a fine line between simply working out and pushing yourself to the limits...
But, if you are taking it without a prescription in the hopes of getting better results from working out, I highly doubt that the Adderall would do much for that. If it is better performance during work out you want, you might want to try a little thing called steroids. [[ I really do not suggest taking steroids or Adderall without a prescription]]
Adderall is not harmful when you work out because it's a stimulant and sitting on your butt and doing nothing but being lazy all day while on adderall is VERY harmful to you. If you are working out on adderall, I highly recommend you drink plenty of water before, during, and after.
Could amphetamines show up on a drug test as cocaine?
Yes, unless the person conducting your drug test, does not want to specifically test for that, which would be unlikely at all levels. On a 5 panel drug test, which is the most commonly used, they test for Cocaine, Amphetamines (which could mean amphetamines, methamphetamines, and even ecstasy if it contained either of the two), Opiates, PCP, and of course THC. I have heard of under 5 panel drug tests before, but it is VERY unlikely. I know for a job of any sort where you need a urine analysis, you are commonly put to a 5 panel drug test or more. For probation or Rehabilitation depending on your drugs of choice they put you on a 5 panel drug test or more. So I am 100% sure that whichever drug test you are going to take, will test for amphetamines.
Where does the absorption of adderall take place in the body?
It is a salt pill...
Adderall is a name brand amphetamine salt. Adderall is ingested by swallowing a tablet which then dissolves in the STOMACH. Once Adderall is passed into the SMALL INTESTINE it enters the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM by way of the MUCOSA BRUSH MEMBRANE. SALT, WATER & POTASSIUM are required for OSMOSIS. Amphetamines cross the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER.
The pharmacological interaction takes place within the BRAIN.
The problem here is that the action of the drug works inside the brain. We can study the electrical activity of a brain while it is still alive, but molecular absorption is a different story. So, there is controversy over most drugs for 'mental health'.
You aren't going to hear much from your DR. about the metabolic absorption unless you aren't responding to the drug. The metabolic absorption is part of a more crucial function & you would be having bigger problems if it wasn't working correctly, but may not realize if it isn't functioning 100%.
Adderall is not processed by the liver, but can affect the liver. However, you would probably be suffering from amphetamine hypertension. The liver would only be working to detoxify your blood for any number of chemical imbalances. The liver may also be prevented from producing digestive enzymes or synthesizing protein. Basically, Slow Death.
How do you get medication for bipolar disorder?

If you have not been diagnosed with bipolar then you must see your family doctor who will send you to a Psychiatrist and he/she will determine what is wrong with you and give you the correct medications.
How do you breakdown Adderall xr for injecting?
Well it is simple... you don't! XR uses a microtrol delivery system. Below is a case study of someone trying to do something similar!
Necrotising myositis after intravenous methylphenidat (Ritalin ) injection
A 30 year old male intravenous drug user was admitted with a swollen painful left thigh after injection of 30 mg methylphenidat (Ritalin). On examination, we found a softball-sized abscess in his left thigh. Striking lab results were a CK of 18 100 U/l, a CRP of 177 mg/l, and a WCC of 20.0x109/l. A CT scan revealed a large abscess that contained multiple pockets of gas, extending from the lesser trochanter to the distal femoral condyle (fig 1). The patient went to theatre and the abscess was excised and drained and an extensive debridement was performed. Macro- and microscopic analysis showed acute necrotising myositis and extensive abscess formation. The patient was re-examined 2 days later and the wound was closed. Thereafter, healing of the wound progressed well. The patient was discharged home 15 days postoperatively.

Are there any withdrawal symptoms from Adderall?
Amphetamines, including Adderall, can cause withdrawal symptoms in people who stop taking them too quickly. However, Adderall withdrawal is more likely to happen when people take higher doses of Adderall than recommended. People who take Adderall as prescribed for a legitimate medical purpose do not usually have withdrawal symptoms when stopping Adderall. Some withdrawal symptoms of Adderall can include extreme fatigue, depression, and changes in heart rhythm.
depends on your height and weight, and if it is the prescribed dose your doctor gave you, then of course its safe. But if you're using it to get high or to snort it or take it orally this really depends on your size. Adhd and add medications can have negative effects on people that are not diagnosed with adhd or add. Severe allergic reactions may occur, if you're not allergic you may get the feeling of a high; but you are not high your body is simply trying to get rid of the medications you put into your body. Please do not abuse ritalin, it is highly addictive.
Can Adderall cause low blood sugar?
Low blood sugar is not one of the published side effects of Adderall, though elevated blood pressure is. Adderall is a stimulant and so, its unlikely to reduce blood sugar levels. The following page has good information about side effects associated with Adderall. You should always consult a doctor before taking Adderall or any closely regulated pharmaceutical product. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall#Side_effects Being a stimulant, Adderall can speed up your metabolism. Additionally, it can cause nervousness and anxiety, which can cause low blood sugar in some people. It can affect your body in many unpredictable ways, especially through non-medical side effects (e.g., causing you to perform physical activities faster than normal or necessary, which can easily cause low blood sugar). It is best to consult a doctor, and/or watch its effects on your own body closely. I have type I diabetes and am an occasional user of Adderall. Personally, it rarely lowers my blood sugar, but I often confuse the heightened anxiety and mood swings for a low blood sugar. Once again, I stress that it is of utmost importance to consult a doctor and/or monitor its effects on your own body, since ANY drug can cause different effects in different users.
What are some over the counter stimulants that are similar to Adderall?
There is a new product out called PROFIDERALL that is an over the counter alternative to adderall. It is non-prescription strength, but I tried it and it definitely helped me focus and gave me a ton of energy.
Most people don't understand that Adderall is a strong drug, it is four different types of amphetamines, which are a controlled substance. You aren't going to find anything over-the-counter anymore similar to Adderall than caffeine probably. And if you have been taking Adderall for more than like 1-2 months, caffeine won't at all compare.
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.
Is allegra safe to take with Adderall?
i have been prescribed allegra and adderall. i take both daily without any side effects or interactions.
What happens if you take more amoxicillin than prescribed?
No. It won't make any difference; antibiotics are carefully manufactured to provide the optimum dosage. Taking more will not get rid of your infection more quickly, any more than using more detergent than recommended will make your clothes or dishes cleaner. If you feel the amoxicillin is proving ineffective, return to your doctor and discuss the problem. Remember it is vital to take antibiotics exactly as directed, and to finish the course.
Is it ok to mix Adderall and phenergan with codeine?
Yes, they interact well in fact, but not in excess. I took 120 mg of Adderall during the course of 24 hours, and took two 25 mg phenergan half way through that. I was tripping the entire next day after already staying up a day and taking the stated drugs. Seeming to be able to shut off the morphing hallucinations whenever I wanted to be fully alert. The combination reminded me of acid, but more of a dream like acid state.
How much adderall dose for a 250 pound man?
That's a question for your doctor. If you don't have one, you shouldn't be taking it. Adderall is a controlled substance for a reason. It's highly addictive when abused, and can cause cardiac arrest or stroke. If you're hooked on a particular drug--or just on the need to get high--get help. Playing around with this stuff will kill you.
Any narcotic purchased at the pharmacy a photo I.D. is required, and when i pick up adderall i have to furbish a photo I.D., so i think yes adderall is a narcotic.
Adderall is a stimulant medication used to treat ADD/ADHD and is not a narcotic. It is a controlled substance, however, which is why you must show a photo ID when you pick it up at the pharmacy.
New comment from nursing student-- technically and literally narcotic means "to make one sleepy", so by definition adderall is NOT A narcotic, as it contains Amphetamines, which are a stimulant. However, adderall is listed by the FDA as a controlled substance under legislature. So when you go to the pharmacist he/she require identification. DO NOT take adderall expecting it to, it any way, simulate the effects of real narcotics.
If you are talking about Adderall, it is a controlled substance with a high abuse potential.
Comment from a Pharm.D-- To add to the previous comment- I am a Pharmacist, and at the pharmacy i work in we use a system to identify our presciptions that involves 6 numbers preceeded by either RX, N, or C (for example. C 999-999). Vicodin or Percocet, for example, would be given as N 999-999, denoting its status of a narcotic drug; Xanax, a contolled substance, would be given as C 999-999; Amoxil would be given as Rx 999-999. Most pharmacies use a silmilar system, but i have found that some pharmacies issue Adderall as N 999-999, and others issue it as C 999-999. But do not be confused by this, Adderall is, as stated before, a CONTROLLED substance, but not a narcotic by definition. Adderall consists of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts. Adderall is a Schedule II drug (which means it is highly addictive and widely abused, but has legitimate medical use in the US), and identification is required on ALL controlled subtances, narcotic or not. Drugs that are not classified as controlled substances (such as amoxicillin, synthroid, or ranitidine) usually do not require valid photo identification to be presented, but even though it isn't required by law, some pharmacies may still ask for ID due to company policy.
What does Adderall do to people without ADHD?
Studies done in the 70s on adults and children found that he response to stimulants in 'normal' children was different to the response to treatment in children with ADHD' The study is cited below. Dr. Rapoport gave 14 boys who were about 11 years old amphetamines at a dose of .5mg per kg. This amount corresponds to about 20 mg of Adderall for the average 90 pound 11 year old. What Dr. Rapoport found was that these boys developed a marked decrease in motor activity, a marked decrease in response time, and improved cognitive performance after being treated with the stimulant. He concluded that the effects of the amphetamine on ADHD children was not 'paradoxical' at all but that it was, in fact, exactly what you would expect if you gave amphetamines to anychild.
Amphetamines do have a paradoxical effect on children when their response to stimulants is compared to the adult response to stimulants. Dr. Rapoport found, in a different study, that if you give stimulants to adults, the adults feel euphoric. Children do not feet euphoric. Children without ADHD reported feeling different or tired.

How long does it take for 30mg adderall to kick in?
To tell you the truth it matters what kind of form the pill of Adderall it is. IR or instant release stays active in your system for 5 to 6 hours, these are the pills that are pink or orange depends who makes it. Adderall XR or extended release dissolve in your system two types of ways. One part of the pill acts fast while the other part is time released and the time release stays active in your system for up to 13 hours. For good measure use the quick release pills if available because they act quickly and only for a short period of time. The longest I have stayed awake is 4 days and I was so sleep deprived I just crashed on the fourth day. But if you just snorted 30mg of Adderall you can be awake for two days easy, especially if your body is not used to it. I hope that answers your question.
How long does it take for adderall 20 mg to kick in?
Answer: Wow, that is a pretty high dosage for just starting off. I think you should probably stop taking it for a while and try to get some rest, like maybe get some sleeping pills. More important, contact your doctor and report this strange behavior. He may have to give you a smaller dose.
