Is Vyvanse more more similar to Ritalin or adderall?
Vyvanse is a stimulant of the amphetamine class that is used to treat ADHD. It is closely related to Adderall. Vyvanse is a schedule II controlled substance.
Strattera is a pseudostimulant used for the treatment of ADHD, since it has a much lower potential for abuse than amphetamines. It is not a member of the amphetamine class. It is not a scheduled controlled substance.
Strattera is classified as a non-stimulant drug, it is in the group of SNRIs - serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, while Vyvanse is a stimulant belonging to amphetamines.
Strattera cannot make one feel 'high', so it really has a very low potential for abuse. But when used for treatment of ADHD, Strattera works slower than Vyvanse and other stimulants. To achieve the desired effects one may need several weeks.
On the other hand, it is said that effects of Strattera are more steady, and patients on Strattera can feel fine all day long, while Vyvanse only boosts their abilities for a short period after being taken.
Are Adderall and Methylphenidate the same?
Essentially speaking, "meth", adderall (and other ADD meds), and cocaine are all made up of the same stuff, called Amphetamines. The only difference is their mechanisms of action, which are not yet fully understood. The 'meth' in methamphetamines is an extra molecule which binds on to the amphetamines and makes them last longer in your body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamines
Can adderall hurt your 2 year old?
5 year old's should not be medicated for mental illnesses. When the child is older, and can handle such strong medications better, and when the child actually needs it to function in school, then you should think about it. I'm just a little bit disgusted with this question.
Yes, burns can damage nervous tissue. Burns are categorized as 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree. 1st degree: epidermis only 2nd degree: epidermis & part of dermis (sometimes called a 'partial thickness burn') 3rd degree: epidermis & entire dermis (full thickness burn). Nerves & blood vessels are embedded throughout the dermal layer. The extent & severity of the burn will determine the type & scope of nerve damage. Hope this helps!
You have been prescribed adderall 10mg would it hurt you if you took 20mg?
Answer: Trust me, you'll live. Just don't accidently take 10x your recommended dose, that would be dangerous. You can skip your next dosage, if you want or just keep taking it when you're supposed too. It doesnt really matter, but I usually skip a day if I take more than I should. NOTE: You should just stick to your prescribed dosage. And because Adderall is a controlled substance, you can only get one prescription re-fill per month. So if I take more I skip a day mainly because I'll have one less dose that month anyways. Thats math for you. So basically there's no need to worry, even though I bet it felt weird since you took double your regular dosage. :) hope this helps.****

Can you take Adderall and coffee together?

Does focalin show up on drug test?
Well, as it's prescribed for ADD and is stimulating in nature, and looking at the pathways activated that are shared with more direct amphetamines such as dexedrine or adderall, it definitely has potential to appear on a drug screening. Obviously, the higher and more prolonged your dosing regimen is, the more likely it is to show a positive for amphetamines. It has a relatively short clearance time, however, so it's not something that would cause disaster if you took a pill on the odd occasion. (This does not condone recreational uses of dexmethylphenidate at all.) For more information check out the vaults at erowid.org. Happy pharming ^_^
Will meth show up as adderall in drug test?
YES, Adderall and other stimulants based on amphetamine will cause a UA or a swab to show up as "hot" for amphetamines.
Remember, standard drug tests do not test for the drug itself, they test for the metabolites of the drug, i.e. what your body turns the drug into. Since Adderall is a mixture of four different salts of amphetamine, your liver metabolizes these salts into the exact same chemicals that meth metabolizes to.
Hope this help you out.

How do you get a refill of Adderall?
Adderall is a "controlled substance." It's under Schedule II of the Controlled Substance Act, which means it has a high potential for abuse or dependence. Adderall and all drugs that fall under this category require a doctors visit where they must write you a rx each time you need a refill.
Does the coast guard ban adderall for commercial maritime workers?
I have a answer regarding this if you can bear with the story;
Before I joined, I was being treated for AD/HD during school and was prescribed Adderall. I stopped taking it around near the end of high school. When I joined, I had to provide supporting documents from my doctor stating that I was no longer being treated for AD/HD. A few years down the road during my enlistment, I had seen a psychiatrist after seeing a psychologist and undergoing a series of tests. He prescribed me Adderall once again and informed me that the military is allowing exceptions to the AD/HD treatment rules. However, he was not aware that the USCG was the only branch of military service that does not allow stimulant medication for AD/HD treatment. It was brought to my attention by an O-6 physician's assistant that the USCG's medical doctrine states in very black and white instruction that if a member is required stimulant medication for AD/HD treatment, they are disqualified from joining or will undergo a medical board for discharge if they're already in service.
Luckily, it was swept under the rug by the psychiatrist, but now I can't bring up my AD/HD issues unless I want to face being discharged. This also means no more Adderall treatment.
Long story short; The USCG's very strict and cut and dry policy is if you require stimulant AD/HD medication(Adderall, Dexedrine or any amphetamine) to function normally, this will disqualify you from joining, or face you with a medical discharge if you're already a member.
It's extremely unfortunate :(
Can adderall stop working once you have been on it for a long period of time?
The answer is definitely "yes." Your brain actually develops a tolerance to Adderall by creating more receptors. Once you develop a tolerance, the Adderall becomes less and less effective. You can overcome the tolerance temporarily by increasing the dose but, in time, your brain will also develop a tolerance to the new dose.
What is the most frequently used CNS stimulant?
The most frequently used central nervous system stimulant is caffeine and it is most known around the world as the drug in coffee and tea. The most prescribed CNS would be methylphenidate, commonly known as the brand-name stimulant Ritalin.
How long is a CII prescription good for in the state of Alabama?

AddTabz Solves Adderall Shortage Feb, 12 , 2012by Lawrence Williams Adderall Drug Shortage Will Continue in 2012, Government Officials Say
A contentious relationship between drug manufacturers and the Drug Enforcement Agency may cause a continuing shortage of the attention deficit medication Adderall, which the FDA just added to its official drug shortages list, the New York Times reported.
As of 2007, about 9.5 percent, or 5.4 million, of school-aged children were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adderall prescriptions went up 13.4 percent from 2009 to 2010, and more than 18 million prescriptions were written for the drug, Reuters reported.
As demand for the drug grows, more and more patients have found the medication is out of stock at local pharmacies.
Experts say it's difficult to say where the reason for drug shortage lies. To manage controlled substances that can potentially be abused, the DEA sets manufacturing quotas for drug ingredients each year to control supplies like Adderall. But Adderall drug manufacturers, which include Shire Plc and Novartis, Teva and CorePharma LLC, say they cannot meet the growing demand for the product without looser limits from the DEA. The DEA questions whether there is actually a shortage of generic supplies, which are at an especially low supply, or whether the drug companies want to sell more of the expensive brand-name drugs.
Despite the growing demand, Special Agent Gary Boggs of the DEA's office of diversion control told the New York Times, "We believe there is plenty of supply."
Barbara Carreno, a DEA spokeswoman, told Reuters that hundreds of drugs that do not require a DEA quota, and those shortages are not caused by quota limits, but marketing ploys by drug makers.
"Any shortage of these products is therefore a result of decisions made by industry regarding manufacturing or distribution," Carreno told Reuters.
But a Teva spokesperson told Reuters, "Our production facilities are currently running at maximum capacity for Adderall utilizing all available API (the drug's active pharmaceutical ingredient). The catalyst for the problem is the quota system, not the business."
The addition of Adderall to the FDA drug shortage list comes on the heels of an executive order to ease drug shortages that Obama signed in October.
"The shortage of prescription drugs drives up costs, leaves consumers vulnerable to price gouging and threatens our health and safety," Obama said in a statement at the time. "This is a problem we can't wait to fix. That's why today, I am directing my administration to take steps to protect consumers from drug shortages, and I'm committed to working with Congress and industry to keep tackling this problem going forward."This article was published on .
Why does adderall make your hands feel cold?
Amphetamines are vasoconstrictors. Makes perfect sense. Ask your Doctor what is happening.
Do you smoke? Are you on other medications? Do you use caffeine daily? Do you not exercise?
If you answer yes to those questions, then those might be contributing causes to your cold extremities/decreased blood flow.
PS. I find that amphetamines make me SWEAT. (Also common.)

If you take adderall 1 hour before a drug test will it show up?
yes, adderall and other amphetamines take up to 72 hours to be undetectable by urine.
Should adderall xr 30 mg say both on pill?
It depends on what you mean by "better".
They're both the same strength; +/- up to 20% in the active ingredients depending on which state you live in. Ask your local pharmacist if you live in the United States what your state laws regarding generics vs. name brand differences are in your state.
It also depends on the person. Age, weight, tolerance, general health, any previous mental or physical condition, and the actual reason for use play a factor in why some MDs Rx the IR (instant release) version instead of the XR (controlled release).
There are only minor differences between XR (extended release) and IR (instant release). The main one being that in the XR version, 1/2 of the tablets active ingredients will be released immediately and the other half will be released over time (4 hours later to be specific) via time-released technology in bead form using the Mictrotrol delivery system. 1 Maximum blood plasma concentration of the active ingredients with the XR version is typically achieved at 7 hours, while the IR version's plasma concentration is achieved at approximately 4 hours. (This, like all medications, is not standard, and depends on the person. I.e., all medications and their side-effects/plasma concentration true half-lives and a plethora of other factors are on a case by case basis per person).
Age-wise, an MD would be more likely to Rx children the XR version for a few reasons: Children metabolize Adderall faster 2, so they won't need to go to the nurse's office at school mid-day. (This could create stigma.) Children are also less likely to suffer from insomnia caused by the XR version's longer half-life than adults would.
At the moment, Adderall (in either version) is only legal in the United States. Canada made Adderall a schedule I drug/medication, which means it can be used for research purposes only/not prescribed. Adderall IR is only approved for narcolepsy and ADHD, while Adderall XR is not approved for narcolepsy . This does not mean that MDs cannot prescribe either/or for off-label reasons (treatment resistant depression; sleep cycle disorders), or to negate side effects on a case by case basis. For example, a 12 year old child could easily suffer from insomnia, so the IR version might be given instead of the XR version. Some adult patients with ADHD feel that there is more of a "crash/comedown" with the IR version, so they might try the XR version instead, whereas the majority of people with narcolepsy would not notice this crash/come down side effect with the IR version of Adderall.
Regarding your specific question, 30 mgs of Adderall is not such a low dose in either IR or XR version, considering that the suggested prescribing guidelines regarding dose is 20-40 mgs in adults with ADHD, and 20-60 in adults with Narcolepsy. Those are also not typical starting/beginner dosages.
If you ask this question out of recreational- use behaviors and curiosity, it is advised to let it be known that Adderall is a Schedule II medication in the United States for a reason. Adderall is made up of 4 stimulating "salts" in equal ratio (racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetaminesaccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate). A patient who has ADHD and/or Narcolepsy is unlikely to benefit from any "high" with this medication so they would clearly be at less of a risk for abuse, over-use and dependence than recreational users. Therefor, it has met the FDA's guidelines for being a Schedule II medication, and as such, should be used with precaution and under a medical doctor's supervision:
- The drug or other substances have a high potential for abuse
- The drug or other substances have currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, or currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions
- Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence 3

What prescribers limits for Adderall?
With almost every insurance company, the max dose is 60 mg daily. I don't know EVERY insurance policy out there, but more than 60 mg would be hard to get, and really expensive i imagine. in my experience, my doc said he could only prescribe 60 mg a day. Sad :(
Is Adderall prescribed in France?
Most not available in France, and none for adults. For example--Focalin.
How to decrease the dosage of Adderall?
No! Never cut a tablet labeled XR in half it is an extended release tablet made to be slowly broken down by the body. If you break it in half you will receive to much medication at a time. Talk to you doctor about lowering you dosage or about taking the 20mg every other day.
Do you get drug tested before you get prescribed adderall?
No, they do not. I have ADHD myself. & i just went to the doctors & got tested & then got it.
