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.

Is Adderall an opiate?

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.

Does adderall show up as meth on drug test?

Yes, Adderall shows up on a drug test. I know this from first hand experience. I was in the Air Force Reserves I had to take a drug test. I had been taking prescribed Adderall for a few months but didn't report it to the medical facility (it wasn't in my file). The following month, when I reported for duty, I was called into the commander's office. The commander started asking me questions about any drug use. Of course, I told him I did not use drugs. He then asked what all prescription medications I was taking. I rambled off the list of my prescriptions and he stopped me after I said Adderall. He then told me that I had tested positive for amphetamines the month before. I didn't get in too much trouble because I had a legitimate prescription, but I did get reprimanded for not reporting the medication as soon as I had been prescribed it. I have found that most drug tests include a test for "amphetamines." They do not specifically check for "Meth-amphetamines" or dextro-amphetamines, or any of the other specific types of amphetamines. I would suggest that before the drug test you let the testing official know that you are on prescription medications. If they ask what kind, tell them. If they don't ask, don't worry about it. If you end up being questioned about amphetamines, all you have to do is show them your script.

How do you get rid of that sick feeling in your stomache when you do not eat?

You eat. That is the only way and the best way.

That is your body telling you that it needs food to keep you healthy and alive. I agree with the answer above 'eat.' The best thing to eat is something that has protein. Since our bodies are mostly protein, it is an important resource. It is the building block for most all body tissues and is involved in most of the body's metabolic processes. Some good proteins can be peanut butter, yogurt, cheese, nuts and seeds, egg whites (cooked), and soy bean products.

Can you take alprazolam with Adderall xr?

I would have to say that I have taken them together before and I experienced very odd side affects. Paranoia, bad Jitters, and increased heart rate.

I am 100% sure that those 2 combined FOR ME, do NOT mix well. I have taken both separately and years apart and both have worked well for separately.

So please make sure you consult a Doctor first, but even then they may still not be for sure if you will have side affects as I did. I mean a Doctor wrote those scripts for me at the same time. I had to decide between ADD and depression (not that there are not other drug alternatives), but I went with ADD and my depression slipped away.

Hope this helps.

How hard is it to quit Adderall?

Imagine yourself, more sociable, more energy, never having to loose weight, and being able to get work done without using the smallest ounce of will power to achieve said task; then having these, "superhuman abilities" stripped dry, and your normal functioning self, left destroyed and almost unobtainable. You put yourself into an incomprehensible point of extreme isolation; almost as if you have locked yourself abroad, in an emotional solitary confinement center. A dark, and depressive aura will surround you, with un fleeting strength; and this is when you will find the option of relapse, grasping every limb of your waking conscientiousness.

Now, I'm sure your thinking what I have said is, exaggerated, overdrawn, or simply just banal, but I did what I did and said what I have said, for your knowledge or others reading this. I have been through this nightmare, and only wish for others to stay away from it. Adderall abuse is real, and needs to be media industrialized. I don't know if your an adderall user curious of the basics of this "challenge," or someone who is contemplating on whether to, give adderall a spin or two. If your a user ready to quit then I will say, all of my luck goes to you my friend, your strong, your ready, so you can do this; but if your a curious bystander, pondering the perks of adderall use, don't delve into it. Find another path that will suit you, because the long-term will soon make the short-term a thing of the past. Be strong fight the urge, and be strong and stay away, keep these things in mind for your own use, and keep this knowledge for others sake.

Sincerely,

An honest ex-adderall user.

Is two 10 mg Adderall XL the same as one 20 mg Adderall XL?

First, it is Adderall XR. And yes 2 10mg of immediate relase Adderall is equivalent to Adderall XR 20mg. The Adderall XR is time released so if you are taking Adderall XR 20mg, 10mg will be released immediately and 10mg will be released 4 hours later.

How do you sleep if I'm on Adderall?

You can't really, adderall causes insomnia; and if it's still active the only way you can sleep is to either take vitamin C which will cancel it out. You can also smoke a bowl or two and that'll normally help you out enough to pass out.

What dosage does Adderall come in?

30 mg

Adderall comes in 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20 and 30mg's. Remember that adderall is the strongest of the bunch. With 4 different types of Amphetamines' in them:

  • 1/4 dextro-amphetamine saccharate
  • 1/4 dextro-amphetamine sulfate
  • 1/4 (racemic amphetamine) aspartate monohydrate
  • 1/4 (racemic amphetamine) sulfate

Compared to Vyvanse that only has 1 and it's only 30% of the pill with a bonding agent being the other 70%. So 30mg Adderall is equal to 70mg's of Vyvanse.

Can you use pain relief while taking Adderall?

Adderall is known to have an interaction with acetaminophen. There are moderate interactions with buffered Aspirin and other aspirin products, Tylenol, and some forms of Alka-Seltzer like Extra Strength and Alka-Seltzer Plus. Adderall interacts with others as well. You should check with your primary care physician before taking anything.

Can you shoot up 20mg Adderall?

Methylphenidate is the generic name for Ritalin and is an amphetamine. It is a controlled substance and as a C-II, it is highly addictive. Shooting it up is possible, but absolutely inadvisable if you want to live. You may become dependent on it even after shooting it one time...if you live. Withdrawal from amphetamines leaves you with no energy and no brain power. Shooting methylphenidate sustained release will directly introduce into your bloodstream additional chemicals that can cause blood clots. Amphetamines speed up your heart and make you feel stronger than you actually are. Not a good idea if you choose life!

Is ADHD medicine a stimulant?

Most ADD medications are stimulants. There is one that I know of that is not and that medication is called Stratara. There may be others that are not but that is the one I am most familiar with. Medications like Adderall, Ritilin, Concerta, and others are stimulant's and should be prescribed by a doctor only after he has tested you for ADD or ADHD. If the doctor tells you you have ADD or ADHD ask him to go over you options as far as medications go to find out what medication may be the right one for you to take. You may have to try a few if others do not work for you and you are still having symptoms.

Should your doctor decide to put you on one of the medication's that is a stimulant you need to keep him or her informed as to how you are doing. Are you feeling better, are you nervous or shaky all the time, do you have problems sleeping and so on. Your doctor should go over all those things with you if he or she decides to put you on medication.

Also, if you are put on a stimulant the best thing to do is to not tell your friends, etc. Most, if not all these stimulant are abused by other people, many who do not have ADD or ADHD. I am not sure how old you are but I would just use your better judgment as to who you would let know if you do take the stimulant's.

Best of luck,

Jeff
