Does 5 5mg Adderall equal 30 mg Adderall?
No. 5x5=25; not 30. Dosages of medication are pretty darned specific.
Is it bad to take an adderall and then a percocet an hour later?
What you're talking about is basically a watered down or "kiddy" version of what's called a "speed ball", a real speed ball being heroin and cocaine. Whether it's bad or not just depends on whether you plan to do this a lot, if you are already an addict, plan to be or have moral or responsibility issues on the subject.
Firstly, I think any logical person can agree than proselytizing or telling someone what they "should" do (to be more like them) is useless in these internet forum things. These forums are not soapboxes.
Ok, here it is, I was a junky for quite a while and I can tell you that what you're talking about is dangerous. It's a lottery. I was, personally, always able to mix drugs in huge amounts and rarely overdosed in a serious way (you should know that any time a prescription drug gets you high because you took more than prescribed this is technically an overdose.) An addict or junky overdoses everyday, maybe all day. But I had friends who died from much smaller doses of the same drug cocktails I would use on a daily basis. So, while combining drugs with opposite highs can be a lot of fun you are basically playing Russian Roulette.
Without preaching, my advice is that you stay away from prescription pain pills unless you really need them and even then you should try hard to find another way. Not because it's "bad", because it can make it hard to have a happy and productive life. Besides that, be careful with the opiates and amphetamines and if you need both (for whatever your own reasons may be) keep your doses low or if you actually want to become an addict, ease your way into and prepare for a ride that ends in misery. That's not a caveat either, really. Without the misery that addiction wrought on me, (not to mention the first few euphoric and amazingly productive years before the devil came to collect what I owed so to speak) I'd have missed quite a few things that helped my work and my growth as a person. That might sound messed up but it's my truth. While I see how full of bull someone like Timothy Leary was, I can appreciate the basic shamanism that William Burroughs, John Frusciante, or (maybe) Daniel Pinchbeck engaged in and the realizations that would have been impossible without delving into those realms, that abyss.
I got way off your point, but my reason for doing this was that anyone wanting an answer to the question you asked is obviously flirting with a stint as an addict and this is what I know or think about that.
Lastly, if you are doing this type of thing and think you won't become addicted or have no metaphysical or personally experimental reasons to do something this hard to yourself, please don't kid yourself. You could get lucky, yes. Addiction is a genetic predisposition and some people can be weekend warriors. This I can't help with as it was all or nothing for me.
If you are taking Adderall because you have ADHD or narcolepsy, the first thing you need to realize that, neither the government nor doctors will tell you, is that you are smoking to combat the symptoms of your ADHD and/or narcolepsy. Nicotine is a potent stimulant that has the same effects as amphetamines on the brain. Indeed, there are a couple of scientific studies that have even recommended that a safe form of nicotine be explored for the treatment of ADHD. The effect of taking nicotine with Adderall is to potentiate (make more powerful) the Adderall.
i suggest you get your self to a hospital. and stop recklessly abusing drugs your not familiar with
What is ultracet and is it safe to take with your daily Adderall xr?
It depends on what dosage of each med you are taking. You should always ask your Doctor before mixing Rxs, because he/she knows your personal health history. If all else fails you can call poison control to find out if it's normally safe.
What would taking 60 mg of adderall do to a 20 year old?

No, pharmacies share information on when the medication was last filled and due to be refilled.
What is Adderall xr 30mg used for?
Adderall XR is an extended release form of an amphetamine medication most commonly prescribed for ADHD. It's notorious for its abuse among college students as a "study drug" but is very effective in managing legitimate ADHD.

What could cause delayed effects or onset of medications?
just a little more info..
What could cause a 2-3 hour delayed onset of effects from Adderall or Restoril? or any medication ?
I've been on the same medications and the same dosages for over a 2 years:
Cymbalta 60 mg - 7am
Adderall XR 20 mg - 7am
Adderall IR 10mg - 3pm
Restoril (temazapam) 30mg - 10pm
On Saturday's I sometimes take the Adderall later in the day, and skip the Restoril because I like to be awake later on the weekends I don't have work, but on the weekdays i stick to the above schedule.
My issue if that what seems like all of a sudden (about 2 weeks ago), I've noticed delayed reactions to my medications. For example, I normally start feeling the effect of the Adderall 30 to 60 minutes within taking it, but for the last 2 weeks it doesn't seem to kick in for almost 3 hours. As for the temazapam, I usually take it around 10pm, start getting sleepy around 11, and am totally passed out by 11:30. Nevertheless, the past 2 weeks i don't start feeling tired until around 12, and cant seem to get to sleep until the earliest 1pm.
Now i know both of these medications can loose their effectiveness over time but that does not seem to be the issue. The issue I am getting delayed reactions to them, and this did not seem to be something that slowly developed over time. And now because of all this my sleep pattern is a mess and i'm tired all the time when i'm not supposed to be, and wide awake why i should be tired.
adderall xr kicks in late = i feel tired in the morning
adderall ir kicks in late = i feel tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night
restoril kicks in late = i cant fall asleep or get up in time in the morning
could this be a metabolism issue? i haven't changed my exercise routine or diet, and i cant think of an other thing that would change my metabolism this drastically in such a short period of time
could this be related to another/new medical issue?

Is 25mg adderall xr to much to start off?
If you are taking adderall for the first time, I advise starting with a lower dose. While this dose is safe, it is best to start with the lowest effective dose possible as you will eventually need to increase your dosing with prolonged use. Consult with your physician if you have any concerns. If you do not have this prescribed, do not take it if you have any heart conditions. Do not mix with caffeine or other stimulants.
More than likely YES it will show up in a drug test. It takes about 72 hours before amphetamines are out of your system. This also applies to cocaine, opiates, MDMA, etc. since the metabolites of these drugs are water-soluble. This number is not set in stone and depends on your body and its ability to eliminate the drug. 10 mg is not a lot of adderall so may be it is not enough to induce a positive reading on a drug test. Hopefully that is the case and you will be in the clear. Good luck.
A: The "normal" effects on children when referring to Adderall should in fact be calming, and focusing. Your child shouldn't be an emotional wreck when taking Adderall. You need to talk to your doctor about the sudden abnormal side effects the Adderall is causing, because sometimes it causes suicidal thoughts and worsens unknown psychological illnesses. They will probably switch your child to a non-stimulant medication such as Strattera. And another thing perhaps the reason that the Adderall is acting adversely could be that he is also autistic. Because in that case the Adderall would definetly worsen the autism.
Should i decrease dosage of Adderall slowly?
Unless you have specific instructions to do so by your physician, you should NOT reduce the dosage of ANY medication unless directed by a doctor. Serious side effects can occur if you do not follow your doctor's instructions on taking a medication, especially a brain chemical balancing medication such as adderall.
What if your son weighs 240 lbs. how many pills a day can he take of adderall xr?
Realistically weight should not be as much of an issue as you might think with regards to a powerful psycho stimulant, such as Adderall. Even with an extremely long period of medication having occured, at the very most a single 30mg. That is, having built up the medication from a lower dose up. 30mg would almost never be initially prescribed in a realistic situation (aka not a "shopping doctor") 30 mg is a potent amount and the highest dose manufactured, with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 mg doses made generically/depending on location.
What are the side effects of taking zyrexin and adderall together?

Does adderall make you twitch?
It gives me more of the shivers rather than a twitch, but being a high stimulant amphetamine I could very well see if giving you the twitches. If they become to much, or to uncomfortable, then you may consider talking to your doctor.
What is the drug levothroid used for?
Levothroid is used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
Maybe you mean -Tamoxifen? Which is generic drug for Nolvadex.

Why does Adderall effects weaken after years of taking it?
Since medications are dosed based on your weight, it is possible that if you have been taking medication for several years without careful monitoring from a physician, that while your dose has remained the same, you are actually getting a less concentrated dose due to your larger size (if you are younger, this weight gain is pretty much inevitable, if you are older, and you are like most Americans, you may gain as many as 1 or 2 lbs. per year (hence our obesity rates are soaring). It is likely that other factors might explain this too. On the other hand, I am not aware of any data that suggest that this phenomena is inevitable or that it is even widespread. Too, there is a neutransmitter phenomenon known as receptor "down-regulation"... In theory, if a particular neurotranmitter remains at high levels over an extended period, the brain adapts by reducing the number of receptor sites and thus blunting the impact of the medication. I don't know if this phenomena has been documented with stimulants, but I do believe that it may have been observed with the opiates.
How do you lower Adderall levels in your system rapidly?
Vigorous exercise works for me, therefore I try to wait until after I exercise before I take my afternoon dose. Don't know if the actual adderall "level" is lowered by exercise, all I know is that it is much less effective for me after exercising.
