Can you drink if you have taken Adderall?
Answer: They can. But I wouldn't recommend it. Your liver is already struggling enough as it is with all the liquor and beer, the last thing it needs is something like amphetamines to come tearing through it. So my best advice is give your liver a fighting chance and either don't take the Adderall or stop drinking. Personally, I find drinking alot more pleasurable as to likes of Adderall. hope this helps, Megan. *******
Can long term use of Adderall cause weight gain?
I really hope your not seriously asking that, but in case you are I'll answer it.....
Adderall's active ingredients are racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetine. Amphetamines are powerful stimulants capable of greatly inducing sympathetic nervous sytem responses. The result of this is an extremely decreased appetite and high metabolism. Both of those result in weight loss. Adderall is prescribed to some people who are morbidly obese as a means of making them lose weight.
What pharmaceutical company makes Adderall?
Shire is the original maker of Adderall until their patent expired. Then TEVA and BARR stepped in, but their version is lacking critical ingredients, so the *Generic* version of Adderall is not as effective and in some cased creates more problems with the people who are on it versus the original Adderall by Shire Pharmaceuticals.
Does adderall have any sexual side effects in men?
not in normal doses usually but if you abuse it forget about having sex or even masturbating for a few hours as its practically impossible to get hard. same side effects as coke just not as pronounced
Is it ok to take Adderall and fat burners?
Answer: The Adderall alone should work fine... I'm not too sure if fat burners even work really. But like I said amphetamines will decrease your appetite significantly and if you try to eat healthy you will shed pounds, i promise, you really dont have to exercise when taking adderall, you still lose weight.
How long has Adderall been on the market?
50 years
Ritalin was first manufactured in 1944. In 1957, after making improvements to the medication, the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company began selling it by the name "Ritalin" to treat disorders including depression, chronic fatigue, narcolepsy, and Mohr's Syndrome. During clinical studies, Ritalin was found to improve concentration and helped subjects manage tasks more efficiently, thus researchers concluded that the medication was effective in treating ADHD/ADD.

Will you test positive for meth by taking 30 mg of adderall?
Yes most ADHD drugs are stimulants and maybe picked up as a positive for Meth.
AS a side note many Meth users are actually undiagnosed for ADHD. They are self medicating for ADHD. These are the Meth users that work and keep a job.
Can you take Adderall 15 mg Prozac 20 mg and 25 Xanax as needed?
You should only take your prescription medications as prescribed by your physician. However, 1mg of xanax is still not that high of a dosage, so if you were to take another 0.5mg, I don't see any reasons why you would have any problems.
How can you reduce the effects of Adderall if you are being forced to take it?
Good 2:00am in the morning to you!
I think I have had three tacos today. I'm physically hungry but I don't have any desire to actually eat anything. I'm tired, however I couldn't imagine being able to sleep for at least the next hour. And finally, (the reason I wound up in this article) my jaw hurts.
To answer the question, I handle the side effect by doing my best to figure out what it is that causes them. I am not a doctor or a PHD, but I have been taking Adderall since I was young and have gone significant periods of time without taking any (5+ yrs). To give you an idea of my history, for nearly the last 2 years I have taken Adderall IR (20 mg) twice daily. Now, to add to what I mean about what causes the symptoms: I have been taking the IR long enough to know that sometimes I will have the side effect and some times I will not have them. For instance, the reason I am up right now is because I forgot to eat lunch.
My ability to explain why lack of food causes some of my side effect is limited but here, but I'll try… the liver absorbs amphetamines and if the liver does not have enough or even different types of 'juices' to absorb the amphetamine then the amphetamine will release more slowly or quickly depending. If you keep track of the food you ate (or didn't) and what days you have side effects eventually you may find certain foods will give you certain side effects: Mine is anything with grain or lots of fiber.
Another side effect, the jaw ache, I have also have off and on. I have noticed it more when under stress or when I'm tired. Another thing I would like to add (<- not ADD) is I am a smoker L I know its bad… but I'm still young. I have noticed jaw movement more so, after I smoke. If I reduce smoking when I'm tired or stressed (doesn't that kill the point, though?) then I have less severe problems with aches.
Finally, allow me to add one more point for closing:
Not but thirty minutes ago when searching to far reaches of Google for what may help reduce the jaw ache (hot tea by the way*sip*) I came across several posts on Adderall. Again, I took Adderall from the time I hit second grade. So I am blown away to find out that the public conception of Adderall and AD/HD is liken to 'meth addicts' and 'coke'. Therefore, my closing argument in for the side effects of Adderall apparently is public stupidity J there have been several articles by teen-age girls wanting to be skinny and kid's wanting to know how much they should take to make the 'trip'. Therefore, let me say Adderall can and has been abused just like any other prescription drug.
However, as an adult I find it as the most effective tool when I need to curb my overactive, creative, tangent making, vivid, and yet often useful imagination. Adderall helps me remember and keep track of plans, and keeps me 'in the moment' to give attention to make those plans (I've saved loads by not having to pay all those speeding ticket!) All said I am willing to pay the price of having to the occasional side effect, in place of all of the results Adderall gives.
The affects of adderall are different to each and every person. Personally adderall gives me a sense of well-being and attentiveness in my studies. I am a college student and even though I do not have a diagnosed form of ADD of ADHD, I do have trouble concentrating on the strenous studies that I face every day. Adderall takes the pressure off on exceptionally stress-full days. Even though the high is short lived I still feel more accomplished on the the days when I take adderall compared to the days free of the drug. I do however feel the side-affects. I have a lowered sex-drive on the days I take adderall and a few days after I have taken the drug. I also I have a terrible taste in my mouth and everything else has an alkaline taste to it. Also occassionaly after I have come down from the high I have mild stomach pains. However I have not noticed an addiction to the drug or sleep related issues by using it. So far the benefits have out weighed the cons of adderall and I will continue to take the drug provided that I do not have any long term side effects from it.
Flushing Adderall out of your system?
Answer:
Nothing.
Time is the only way to sober you up when it comes to that. Wait a good 48-72 hours.
Vitamin C or any type of acidic beverage will also weaken the effects of adderall, so drink some orange juice!
Is a dose of Adderall XR 30 mg twice a day excessive for a 52 pound child?
Read on for more information from Wiki s contributors:
- My son is 8 years old and weighs 55 pounds. He was prescribed 10 mg Adderall and it was very effective. Doctors seem to start with small doses and raise them until the desired effect is reached.
- My daughter is 9yrs old weighs 72 pounds is on 15 mg of adderall xr. we started about 1week ago she was straterra on 40 mg of it. this stuff is so much better then straterra she was get sick before and had bad stomach aches. my 7 yr is 44 pounds we started her on 36MG OF CONERTA
Just as a reference point, I am a 22 year old college student and at 165lbs and I take 20mg doses of non-extended release Adderall, which has a very strong effect on me. Though it isn't "prescribed by weight," it's still a stimulant. Yes, it will react differently in all people, so you can't go strictly by weight, but obviously if you give an 88lb twelve year old two cups of coffee, it's going to be way different than if you give a 165lb person 2 cups of coffee. There are exceptions, and of course the severity of ADD symptoms may warrant a large dose, but 20mg of narcotics is a lot! So definitely work from the smallest dose up.
- Monitor your child closely for depression, anxiety, nervousness, and social withdrawal. Adderall at those levels will probably cause all of these eventually, especially if your daughter is so young. If she is tweleve, she should be starting middle school, or has started. Middle school is hard enough without drugs that screw up her emotions and her thought process. Be careful, and remember that doctors hand that stuff out like candy. If at all possible, try to fix your daughter's life without medication. Adderall is extremely addictive, and, should your daughter choose to get off the medication, she will experience withdrawal and will have to relearn how to cope with everyday life all over again.
- I wouldn't worry too much, as long as she doesn't have an severe side effects. when i was a child i took meds from before i can remember until i was 14. i always had a pretty high tolerance for medications and i was on the highest dose that was physically possible without overdosing for someone my weight. i took more mg of Ritalin every day than my older brother... it just depends on the person
I'm not a doctor but I called Adderall about their dosage for mg. They do not go by weight. Thre is a chart they follow. My daughter is 10-years-old and weights 90 pounds. We just changed her Adderall XR from 20 mg to 25 mg, but then the doctor decided on 30 mg. I decided it should be more than 25, but less than 30 mg, so I open her pills and give her less than 30 mg. I don't give it to her on weekends, either. My other daughter takes Concerta 54 mg. and needs it all the time. Adderall XR made her depressed. Always talk with your doctor about your child's medications
- i am a 28 year old woman. 20 mgs of adderall has a huge effect on me physically and mentally. 5 mgs also has a huge effect! you need to be careful with your daughter. adderall is amphetamines, pure and simple. speed. think of how much you would feel safe taking yourself. as a child she may not be aware of the changes in her body and mind or able to express them well. just because something is sold by a pharmaceutical company and is legal doesn't necessarily mean it's the best option for dealing with an attention span problem. in fact, it's probably the worst way to deal with the problem in most cases.

How do you guys sleep at night??? I am 22 years old and I work full time and am taking 3 night classes. I am on 10 mg not extended release and I am still awake doing school work (psychology, that hpw I cam across this) I would just like to say that 20mg of XR is way to much for a 12 year girl plus she is going through puberty and this combination could really bring on bulemia, addiction, and other bad influences. I am no doctor, but I was prescribed to 20 XR adderall at 13 It helped, but not as much as it helped me lose weight, I grew an addiction to it and became bulemic because when it wore off I would be starving so I would stuff and barf. Then I picked up a ciggrette habit because I like the way i felt when smoking on adderral and it helped my throw up. I am just placing my concern. Like i said before Im no doctor and the truth is everyone is diffrent. Please just watch for her weight change, make sure she is busy with good activity so that she is not taught bad influences like cigrettes. i am fine now and I do not smoke cigerretes, but I would have been better off without it
a survey of U.S. middle schools, grades 6-8, found that one in eight students were experimenting with some form of tobacco such as cigrettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco. -Visualizing Pschology - Carpenter, Siri and Huffman, Keri

Can you take night time sinus medicine with adderall?
The combination of Dextroamphetamine salts in adderall will not interact with benadryl. The benadryl will "cancel out" the effects of the Adderall.
This is a lie! I took ONE 30mg adderall around 8:30pm on Thursday night, after being awake until 3am that night i took 4 benadryl in hopes of getting some sleep.. the benadryl never worked, and now it Saturday and I have YET to get even 5 minutes of sleep. I feel terrible... I don't recommend mixing the two to anyone!
Where can i get copy of coupon 1 free 30 xr 30 day supple caps?
As far as I can tell, Shire Pharmaceuticals has quite offering that coupon... It looks like they are pushing their newly purchased medicine, Vyvance, instead. Search for Vyvance coupon and you should find it. Steven
I Haven't heard of snorting Oxy for sleep, unless you want to get really down and that makes you fall asleep? I am on 50Mg Desyrel (Trazodone) and have never snorted it before, you could If you wanted to- The sleep would be induced a little bit quicker, depending on dosage.
Can you take Adderall with delsym?
Yesterday morning I took 150mg Wellbutrin and 2 teaspoons of Delsym cough syrup and within an hour I was feeling dizzy (sort of out of it). This feeling lasted all day and I still feel a little hazy this morning. My physician was knew I have been taking Wellbutrin for several years when he recommended Delsym for a cough caused by a sinus infection. I wouldn't recommend combing these two medicaions.
...................................................................................................................................
Delsym has Dexthromethorphan Polystirex in it and although it was a really low dose you could be someone really sensitive to DXM but you should keep in mind Wellbutrin (Bupropion) interacts with DXM. Wellbutrin raises blood plasma levels and inhibits the liver from taking it out of your body. Thus resulting in the effect of Dextromethorphan being magnified and extended!
"Wellbutrin (bupropion) is a potent CYP2D6 enzyme (which metabolizes dextromethorphan) inhibitor. CYP2D6 inhibition slows down the conversion of dextromethorphan --> dextrophan, and therefore increases the ratio of DXM to DXO, resulting in a more experience with an increased amount of adverse side effects. Some users have reported that the combination of these two drugs can lead to experiencing effects for several days, and there have been reports of people on bupropion taking therapeutic doses of DXM and getting effects comparable to a low recreational dose level."
I personally used to abuse this combination because of this fact. Just so I could be high for days, if i had not gone to rehab I am certain I would be dead just like my best friend.
Fixing this is easy, take a much lower dose than stated on the bottle. And, please... avoid driving until you are certain you are not over medicated. Or talk to your doctor to find a cough medicine alternative.
How do you increase your adderall buzz?
The effect will increase with anything alkaline, such as baking soda or calcium pills. The easiest way is just to take Tums or Rolaids; it tastes better and will increase the bioavailability of amphetamine in your system. Also, avoid taking adderall with anything acidic like fruit juices, especially citrus, as these increase the acidity in your stomach and reduce the effect of the drug.

No, Adderall is a C-II narcotic medicine; you must have a prescription.

It will usually pass through your system in 1-5 days naturally. You can speed the process up by drinking cranberry juice and water.

A good doctor will deal with your problem, the type of personality you are and what medications work best for you. There could be a better medication to give you. Make sure you learn about Adderall and give your doctor reasons why you would like to try this medication and if your doctor agrees then work closely with your doctor and take the medication EXACTLY as your doctor tells you to take it and DON'T STOP taking it without discussing it with your doctor.
How long does crystal meth stay in breast milk?
Crystal Meth is said to stay in your system for 48-72 hours. With some people crystal meth may remain in their system for up to 5 days. Breast Milk directly reacts from foods and medications consumed by the mother. In result, breast milk will contain the drug crystal meth for at least 48 hours and possibly up to 5 days. Any breast feeding would pass the crystal meth to the child nursing during that period of time.
