Adderall

Of course.

Caffeine & adderall have a synergistic effect when combined and the effects of both chemicals will be significantly emphasized. The addition of coffee with the adderall will definitely increase Adderall's effects of wakefulness, mood elevation, alertness, etc. But as great as that sounds, caffeine also potentiates the negative side effects of adderall, such as nervousness, insomnia, irritability, palpitations, rapid heart beat, dysphoria, etc. In fact, the combination of the 2 may exacerbate the negative side effects to such a point that the adderall's positive effects are diminished. Also, anyone with anxiety issues may want to stay away from the combination of the two since it will increase his or her anxiety. The 2 together can induce panic attacks in susceptible individuals. But honestly, from personal experience, a cup of coffee in the morning with adderall is OK but anymore than that and I tend to experience too many negative effects and actually LOSE focus on tasks rather than gain focus. As someone with anxiety issues, I am really careful about my caffeine intake the rest of the day (as in no more for me the rest day:) )

With all that said, if you are going to combine coffee and adderall together, start with 1/2 a cup and wait an hour and see how it makes you feel. If you are nervous and jittery and anxious, then perhaps you should not combine the 2. Just start slow and see if it works OK for you. I know people that can drink all the caffeine they want on their adderall and are just fine and then I know others that can not have any caffeine at all. Just be smart about it:)

Also studies have show that coffee effects the potency of adderall causing the body to simply flush adderall out of your system. Others studies have shown that people with add or adhd who drink coffee tend to multi task or tend to notice that symptoms of add or adhd tend to be more noticeable. Causing you to be awake but not focused.

Adderall is an amphetamine- it blocks the reuptake of dopamine (heavily implicated in the brain's 'reward' pathway) in the synaptic cleft so that the neurotransmitter's effects are prolonged- causing increased energy and hyper-elation, while caffeine inhibits endogenous adenosine receptors, which are known to be inhibitory to the nervous system. Adenosine collects as a metabolic byproduct from ATP degradation and increases with prolonged wakefulness. Since caffeine binds to an inhibitory receptor that binds to adenosine normally, it circumvents the naturally increasing amount of adenosine during the day (a part of your sleep wake cycle). Since these two very different pathways effect the nervous systems via two different methods, the combination of the drugs will have a greater range of effects. Effects are also variant on the amount of sleep one has had and the time of day the combination is ingested.

I currently take 80mg straterra, 70mg vyvanse (a speed-derived drug like adderall), and 10mg lexapro (an ssri like paxil, luvox, etc) and it is working great!

before I started vyvanse, I was taking straterra with lexapro and adderall: about 40 mg of adderall daily.

taking too much adderall caused me to be very anxious, self-conscious, and almost paranoid. when I reduced adderall to about 20 mg/day, as well as when I switched over to vyvanse, things smoothed out much better.

i should add that I was smoking a decent amount of medical marijuana at for most of this period too, which probably increased the paranoia....

I have since stopped the pot, and things are very smooth.

Just my personal experience, your results may vary, but whatever you do, be very cafeful with adderall!!! I had a mild psychotic episode where I thought everyone was out to get me, I couldn't leave home, and I am a "normal" person!

be safe. these are tools, not toys.

I am on 40mg of Srattera (once a day), 30mg of Adderall and 37.5mg of Paxil. I haven't noticed any unusual side effects, but that is just my own experience. Every individual is unique in their response to certain medications.

The answer is YES!!! The person asked a yes or no question. They didn't ask for your medical history.

Adderall XR comes in multiple dosage forms, and usually these are easily transcribed to IR or visa versa. However, 20 mg. of IR 3x daily does not have an equivalent XR dosage for the triple daily dose. The manufacturer offers Adderall XR 30 mg. capsules, which would mean you would take the full 60 mg dose (2 capsules) all in the morning. It would end up being equivalent to taking two 30mg dosages of IR, rather than 3x 20 mgs daily. If you feel that the 3x 20 mg. daily dosing of IR is too important, you might want to just stay on that version. You can always talk to your doc and see whats available.

Vicodin is a combination drug of Tylenol/acetaminophen and Hydrocodone which is classified as a narcotic used for mild to moderate pain.
Adderall is also a combination drug of which is a combination of dextroamphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine sulfate, and amphetamine aspartate. Adderall is a schedule II controlled substance and a central nervous system stimulate used most generally in the treatment of ADD OR ADHD. Attention Deficit Disorder, or Attention Deficit w/Hyperactivity Disorder. The disorder is found in children and adults. There are no known adverse reactions with these two drugs when taken as directed by you physician. However as with ALL drugs you can take a drug for years and sometime later down the road as our body changes become allergic to it. Always read the warning information you get from the pharmacy for signs and symptoms of allergic reactions.

The half life of Adderall is about 10 hours. If you took one 15 mg tablet at 12 noon, then you would have 7.5 mg in your system at 10:00 pm. It takes approximately 2 days (55 hours) for Adderall to completely leave your system.

Yes, it will. It will show up in hair for roughly 7-12 years, even if you shave it all off. It'll stay in your urine for roughly 8-12 months if you only try it once, itll stay in for 16-20 month if you try it twice, and then add 2 months for each subsequent time used. I never tell a lie.

Check with your doctor but probably yes if you're an adult not a child. My psychiatrist gives me vyvanse 70 milligrams which i take in the morning at around 8 oclock and then i take a 15 milligram dose of adderall instant release at around 2-3 oclock. But I'm 21 I wouldn't recommend it for a child unless under the direct supervision of a doctor

I talked to a pharamicst today about the same question because paxil and stress has been giving me terrible headaches, the pharamisct told me that advil would be alright to take with paxil but if i were you i would speak to the doctor that prescribed the paxil to you.

It is not safe to take NyQuil while also taking Adderall, Klonopin, Lexapro, and Percocet, as it can cause seizures and other serious side effects.

Adderall is present in urine for 2-4 days after consumption... You can cut this time down and cleanse your urine up to 3x as fast by using Vitamin C and other Acidic Nutrients. If you need to pass a drug test right away use Sure Gel, it works everytime.

Definately not.. however if you take adderall and quit taking the adderall a week before the test (to allow the amphetamines to clear out of your system) then your ability to eliminate THC would increase due to it's stimulant effect.. Although i advise against doing this.. a lot of exercise would do just the same..

Fiber supplements help a lot too..

Our son weighs around 95 pounds and started out on 40, then 60 mg, this did not seem to work. Dr is now saying to try 80 mg. We don't know what to do either. Dr says 80 is not too much for him. You are not alone in this, even though we feel like we are sometimes.

My son, age 10 weighed 96# when he started on stratera. He now weighs 90# (side effect) and the maximum dose he was ever on was 25 mg. (started at 10mg., went to 18mg. and stopped titrating at 25mg. due to extremely positive impact) His doc. was planning on going to 40mg. but saw no need due to positive impact on ODD symptoms. On the other hand, my friend has a daughter who weighs the same amount and is on 120mg. (80 at night, 40 in AM). Based on my experience, 60mg. is a moderate dose and 120 is the legal max.

Good luck!

I'm finding I'm learning more from "users" or parents of children that use than I do from the doctors. I agree about taking him off on weekends is a disaster. I think we're beginning to see the key to making this work. Since we've kept it continuous, we've significantly lessened the mood swings, hair pulling, etc. Also, from another posting on this website I learned that taking peanut butter before each pill eliminates the stomach aches. That's a miracle solution for us!

Our son is 12 and about 95 lbs. He has been on a 60 mg dose of Strattera about six months and is doing well. He was originally on a 40 mg dose and it had almost no effect. This medication has been far superior to the stimulants for him, and his school work has improved. He seems more "normal" on it than on the stimulants where he would have the rebound effect and act horribly at night. We took him off of the Strattera on his vacation in December and it was a big mistake. I don't think you can just use Strattera like the stimulants, stopping them on weekends and vacations. I don't think 60 mg is too high at all, and his side effects are limited to occasional heartburn.

How young are you talking about? My daughter is ADHD and has been on meds since she was 6 yrs old. She's been on Stattera since September 2003. Started her out on 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg in the evening. Now she's up to 60mg in the am & 40 at night. That's 100 mg!!! She is now 14 yrs old. Only side effect she has had is the heartburn. She takes Nexium for that.

My son has been on every kind of ADHD meds. He on strattera 60mg one time a day. he weights 79#, he 10. with him we been through everything mood swings, hitting, bitting, you name it he did it.I find that if he on a routine everyday things go much smoother, he also take risperdal 0.5mg that's a antipsychotic agent for the volent outburst. If you think that ur child is on to high of a dose than talk to ur Dr. only you know what going on with ur child on the meds. talk to your child about how they feel on the meds,I found that my son will tell me if he on to high of a dose. Only you and your child can get the dose where it should be at.

It depends on the strength of the tablet, as well as the time elapsed between the time the drug was ingested and the time of the drug test. Amphetamine metabolites general will generally create a positive reading in a urinalysis up to 72 hours after the drug is ingested. If a hair follicle test is done a positive reading could be read up to 90 days post drug ingestion. There are other factors that affect the half life duration of a drug such as, gender, weight, fluid and food consumption, and other metabolic features such as renal and hepatic function. Although these factors are only applicable to the detection of the drug through urinalysis.

The length of time that Adderall stays in your system depends on a variety of factors. Some of these include the speed at which your body metabolizes medication, as well as the dose. However, it can stay in your system for a few hours, to several months.

For people who are pregnant, Adderall® (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) or Adderall XR® (amphetamine-dextroamphetamine extended release) may not be safe to use. This is based on animal studies that looked at the effects of Adderall during pregnancy.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses a pregnancy category system to classify the possible risks to a fetus when a specific medicine is taken during pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C is given to medicines that have not been studied in pregnant humans, but do appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies. Also, medicines that have not been studied in any pregnant women or animals are automatically given a Pregnancy Category C rating.

Adderall was given a pregnancy Category C rating because it was shown to cause birth defects and miscarriages in mice. Other studies in rodents have shown that when Adderall was used during pregnancy, it caused problems with brain chemicals. This resulted in long-term learning and memory problems.

However, it is important to note that animals do not always respond to medicines in the same way that humans do. Therefore, a pregnancy Category C medicine may be given to a pregnant woman if the healthcare provider believes that the benefits to the pregnant woman outweigh any possible risks to the unborn child.

Generally 2-5 days. Since you have been taking a decently high dose for almost a month, I would say you are at the upper part of that range.

I am a Registered Nurse who works in an Emergency Department where we frequently test for illicit drugs. Urine toxicology screens discern Adderall from methamphetamines. There is a rarely used ADHD medication that would test positive as meth, but it is not Adderall.

It depends when you take it. If you take whole 30 in am you will sleep fine. I usually break it in half and take half in am and half at noon and I am fine. It also depends on how long you have been taking it and how your body reacts to it. Hope that helps

You can not become immune to it but your body WILL build up a tolerance As the above answer indicates, "immune" is not the right word for describing this. As stated above, your brain (as opposed to other systems in your body) will develop a tolerance to it. This means, even though you keep taking the same dose, the effectiveness of Adderall will decrease. Describing it as simply as I can, what actually happens is this. Adderall increases the level of two neurotransmitters in the brain--norephinephrine and dopamine. Neurotransmitters are the substances by which neurons communicate. They are released by one neuron and then attach to a receptor on a second neuron. Generally speaking, each neurotransmitter has its own receptor to which other substances will not attach. The tolerance to Adderall is caused because the brain actually keeps creating more dopamine and noepinephrine receptor sites on the second neuron. As more receptor sites are created, more dopamine and norephinephrine is needed to attach to those sites in order to produce the same effect as before.

If you have scripts for them, there really shouldn't be a problem unless the pharmacist voices concerns. In that case, you can have the doctor who prescribed it call in and say fill er up.

yes you can, i am prescribed 15mg adderall xr and my obgyn prescribed me cipro 500mg. I asked my pharmacist to make sure i could take them together or if i should wait a little while after i took the adderall to take the cipro and he said that it is ok to take them together.
