Is it ok to mix adderall and adderall xr?

Self-medicating Valium and Adderall is probably a bad idea. However, there are many good reasons that a doctor may prescribe both medications. Bear in mind that Valium (Diazepam) can be used to treat (among other things):

  • Nausea as an anti-emetic
  • Anti-anxietal and calmative
  • Anti-seizure med.
  • Anti-toxin and antagonist for many marine or arthrodpod neurotoxins.
  • Insomnia (often a result of Adderall).
  • Used at a treatment for chemical warfare agents including sarin.

Benzodiazapine class meds created a revolution in pharmacology, especiially due to the wide spectrum of possible uses, and significantly lowered M&M stats by replacing drugs like barbituates.

In this case, I wouldn't write this combination off as a bad idea without considering the entire picture.

Alternate Anwer:This isn't a bad idea at all. What the first person who answered is thinking is that they are two opposites, and would create a sort of speedball affect, but this is not true [First answer removed in this version]. Adderall does indeed speed up your mind and thoughts, making you focus much better, however if you suffer from anxiety, Adderall can make this much worse. The best solution for anxiety is a benzo, like Valium, even though I prefer Xanax, to counter act the anxiety. Benzo's do Not slow down your thoughts as much as they simply make your more relaxed. I am currently prescribed 30mg XR once a day, 10mg IR in the afternoon, and 1mg Kpins twice a day by my doctor and they work perfectly together and I Do indeed recommend it. Alternate Answer:I am prescribed 60mgs Adderall IR daily and was just recently prescribed 10mg of Valium by the same doctor. I PERSONALLY haven't experienced any bad side affects, and agree that it does help with anxiety, although I have taken other Benzo's that have worked better for anxiety. Clarification:I noted that self-medicating was a bad idea. Note that these two medications are not contraindicative. I stand by this. Both these medications require a prescription, and adminstration should be monitored by a doctor. Alternative AnswerI take 40mg of Adderal a day and have back muscle issues which I take Valium for. its helfpful and I havn't noticed any problems. I do really suggest though, that you talk with your doctors about what you specifically need to think about concerning this combo.

How do you pass urine drug test with Adderall?

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.

Can adderall xr help in a THC drug test?

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..

Is 40mg of adderall too much for a child?

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.

Will 30mg of adderall show up on a urine test?

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.

How long does adderall stay in your system in a blood test?

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.

Can you breastfeed after taking Adderall?

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.

How long will 30 mg adderall stay in a urine sample?

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.

Does Adderall show up as amphetamines or methamphetamines?

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.

What effects does 30mg non time release Adderall have on your sleep?

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

Can you inject adderall 30 mg xr?

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.

Does vyvanse and adderall have the same side effects?

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.

Can you take Cipro and Adderall together?

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.

Does Adderall make you high?

Yes, at least for me, it turns out that this drug is most similar to cocaine. Envolving the same type of high. (euphoria,hyperactivity) it is a lot of fun. im not gunna lie and i only did 20mg of it at once. (snorting). but alot of ppl talk about doing up to 65mg. at once.

Can drug tests tell the difference between Adderall and meth?

I take several medicines. One is dextroamphetamine sulfate. I go to a pain clinic and randomly test. The dextroamphetamine comes up exactly like this amphetamine or methamphetamine. It's a $569.00 drug test, so it's not your dime store test.

What happens if you mix oxycodone and Adderall?

ADDERALL OXYCODONE ANSWERAdderall is a stimulant used to treat ADHD or NARCOLEPSY. Oxycodone is a narcotic painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain. Adderall is a mixture of the two "isomers" (same thing, just mirror images of each like your hands) of amphetamine and Oxycodone/Oxycontin is a narcotic that may slow down your respiratory system. Therefore, they have opposite affects however mixing these medications can be dangerous and you may get an additive affect leading to increased oxycodone in your system and respiratory depression. Adderall will increase your heart rate and therefore will increase the oxycodone in your system that could enhance the euphoric affects, lead to respiratory depression and in certain cases COULD BE FATAL depending on your dose, tolerance and other factors. It is important to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist.

If your doctor prescribed both to you, ASK him because this is not commonly done; usually adderall is prescribed by a doctor in a different field that specialize to treat conditions such as ADHD or Narcolepsy whereas a specialist such as a pain management doctor will treat chronic pain. Still there exceptions and there are doctors such as family doctors that may prescribe pain medication for acute pain and medications such as adderall. It is important to let all doctors know what medications you are being prescribed by your all your doctors to avoid drug/drugs interactions. Of course, also ask your pharmacist if there are any concerns for "drug/drug" interaction. This is extremely important because there are potentially many other medications not discussed here that may have an adverse affects too.

How does profiderall compare to Adderall?

PROFIDERALL is what's called a Cognitive Energy Enhancer. It is a new category of supplements that are designed to increase focus, concentration, and energy like Adderall... but without a prescription. It is great as a smart drung, but isn't designed to be an alternative to ADD/ADHD treatment.

Can you take Adderall instead of risperdal?

Yes. Using a stimulant--Adderall, Ritalin (methylphenidate), Concerta (extended release methylphenidate, and others--along with the atypical antipsychotics (such as Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Ability) is often done, usually if aggression is present with the ADHD or if mood symptoms, such as bipolar symptoms are present. There can be side effects associated with this combination; this usually occurs when one or the other is removed or started. (in the realm of motor movements--known as dyskinesias). Folks on a stable combination don't usually have this problem. This problem particular problem goes away once doses are adjusted. Most folks don't experience this particular side effect.

What is the street value of Adderall 30mg?

I live in UT and the street value of this drug is anywhere from $15-$30. I wouldn't pay more than $25 or you'll be getting ripped off.

Some people will charge $1 per miligram but that is overkill.

Remember, be safe with recreational use.

What are the side effects of stopping Adderall XL all at once?

Do you mean Adderall XR?

Adderall XR has a lot of side effects if you stop cold turkey. The amount and severity of your side effects depends on how long you have been on Adderall XR and the dosage. Higher dosage with longer treatment time means more severe side effects.

Since Adderall is a stimulant, most individuals feel lethargic and tired after quitting Adderall. Others will sleep for hours on end. Some will have digestive issues as well as depression.

Most doctors will not recommend you stopping Adderall cold turkey, especially if your dosage is high. Most will take a stepping down approach where your dosage is slowly decreased over time.

For a hair drug test will 10mg of Adderall taken once show up?

The old hair test aye, unfortunately this is the hardest test to pass because your hair holds literally everything and can tell them literally everything you've taken. Only taking it once though means it won't be too badly tainted with the residue of the amphetamine, which is out of your body in a matter of days. If I were you though I would rather be safe, then sorry and use should use a clarifying shampoo regularly to remove toxins that are excreted daily from scalp. Good Luck!

You take Adderall XR 30mg 1 pill a day Could you increase that to 2 30mg pills a day?

Personally, I am actually prescribed to take Adderall 30mg XR twice a day (60mg XR a day total), so yes you can take 2 Adderall 30mg XR a day, but should you?

There is a hefty amount of side-effects that come with taking this dose daily, such as: muscle tension, muscle pain, depression, anxiety, and high blood-pressure. I also weigh 220lbs, so the way that this dose effects me could be very different for you - everybody's body reacts differently. Some individuals may find 20mg XR a day to be excruciatingly uncomfortable, while others may find 60mg XR a day to not do anything at all.

It is also very important that on a dose this high you should make sure to get a full-amount of sleep each night, as well as maintaining adequate nutrition. Doses in this range are known to cause stimulant-psychosis (a very distressing symptom that resembles schizophrenia and can last for a few days, even after quitting the use of adderall) - this is also a dose-range that is capable of causing psychological addiction.

Discuss the possible benefits/consequences with your doctor, and also be sure to have regular check-ups with your doctor to insure that Adderall is not causing any dangerous side effects.

Note: If you are using this dose recreationally and not medicinally, I should atleast warn you that tolerance to amphetamine (adderall) will increase at very fast rate if it is taken daily. The benefits of adderall will decrease, while the negative side effects will increase. For some reason, this only applies if the medicine is being used recreationally. If used medicinally, adderall's effectiveness usually stays at a stable level, and tolerance does not significantly develop. This may have something to do with the fact that those using adderall medicinally are usually treating ADD. Since an ADD sufferer's dopamine/norepinephrine levels are already below normal, adderall does not elevate dopamine/norepinephrine levels enough to the point where tolerance would develop.

Also, it has been observed that if adderall is not taken on a daily basis and is instead taken at random intervals (with a minimum of 2-3+ days in between doses), tolerance will in some cases reverse causing the effects of Adderall to be stronger.

I would highly advise against the recreational use of Adderall, especially at a dose this high. Be safe.

Can you stay up for a long time on Adderall?

I'm not sure what the real answer to this question is, but from personal experience I can tell you that I went 5 days and was perfectly focused. Towards the end of the 5th day my brain started crashing, weirdest experience of my life. My brain would turn off however my body would not. I would "fall asleep" randomly however the rest of my body was still in the same position when i "awoke," my head did not even bow down, it was in the same position. I also did not take good care of my body during those 5 days, I was only averaging one meal a day and almost no water intake. I'm sure if you took good care of your body then you would be able to pull another day or two more.(6-7 days)

The effect has to do with the inherent stimulant properties in the drug. When Adderall or other amphetamine-based drugs hits the pleasure center in your brain, it releases a level of dopamine many many times higher than normal, which raises blood temperature, pressure, and enables the body and mind to perform well beyond its normal capacity. In higher doses, it prolongs the body's endurance and pushes it beyond its normal threshold. Speaking as someone who did the illegal variety when he was younger, and is now on Adderall because of the damage the other version wreaked on his brain (in the form of severe adult onset ADHD), the same is also true of methamphetamine, benzedrine and the other contraband stimulants, but to a more extreme scale. Health-wise, it's not good for your body to be awake more than 36 hours without some form of rest or rejuvenation, and then, only if your body is in supreme working order. My record for staying up on the other was 21 days (not a lie; a fact) and on Adderall, around 8 days; both are awful for your health and can cause mid- and long-term problems, such as insomnia, high blood pressure, and in the long stretches, depression, fantasy-reality inversions, and psychosis.

How much is too much Adderall?

If you are taking more than your prescribed dosage, that is too much. Adderall is an extremely addictive and physically debilitating drug.

For people who genuinely need Adderall, such as those who suffer from ADHD, the drug can be the only thing standing between them and a normal life. However, if you do NOT suffer from ADHD, Adderall affects you much differently. You can quickly become dependent on the High and the physical effects are devastating (heart attack, stroke, sudden death, discoloration of the skin, mouth sores, swollen extremities, insomnia, anorexia, etc.) They are also not easy to hide! The onset of addiction is extremely fast and can occur within only a few uses. The physical effects begin with your first use.

That being said, I am an athletic, 21 year old male taking 50mg of Adderall XR daily. I could probably take more, but 50mg works perfectly fine for me. You should consult with your doctor about the correct dosage for you and you should follow his instructions. Nothing is guaranteed when you're dealing with Amphetamines.

And if you are using Adderall illicitly, or considering it, I beg you to reconsider! The boost in confidence and motivation you feel from using this drug is strong, yet inevitably does not last forever. Once you gain a tolerance for this drug, it will own you. The positive effects slowly give in to the negative. Eventually you will be taking the drug only to keep from feeling the pain this drug can cause. I have seen too many friends turn into husks of their former selves because of this drug, and most still have not recovered completely. Sorry for ranting.
