Is ADHD medicine a stimulant?

Most ADD medications are stimulants. There is one that I know of that is not and that medication is called Stratara. There may be others that are not but that is the one I am most familiar with. Medications like Adderall, Ritilin, Concerta, and others are stimulant's and should be prescribed by a doctor only after he has tested you for ADD or ADHD. If the doctor tells you you have ADD or ADHD ask him to go over you options as far as medications go to find out what medication may be the right one for you to take. You may have to try a few if others do not work for you and you are still having symptoms.

Should your doctor decide to put you on one of the medication's that is a stimulant you need to keep him or her informed as to how you are doing. Are you feeling better, are you nervous or shaky all the time, do you have problems sleeping and so on. Your doctor should go over all those things with you if he or she decides to put you on medication.

Also, if you are put on a stimulant the best thing to do is to not tell your friends, etc. Most, if not all these stimulant are abused by other people, many who do not have ADD or ADHD. I am not sure how old you are but I would just use your better judgment as to who you would let know if you do take the stimulant's.

Best of luck,

Jeff

Can you mix 70mg Vyvanse 30 mg Adderall 60 mg Strattera and Prozac 20 mg?

Just say no! to this combination of drugs. THere is no research indicating the efficacy, benefits or risks of this kind of drug combination.

Taking this combination is risky and can lead to sudden death in a worst case scenario.

Why does your tongue hurt when you take your Adderall?

know in my case, it is not the medication, or even a side effect of the medication, but the "inert" ingredients.

When I take the generic manufactured by Core Pharmaceuticals, I end up with horrible sores and bumps. I have no problems when I take the Barr or DuraMed products (they are the same company, Teva, but the Barr brand is for generic scrips, DuraMed for no substitute).

I would guess it has to do with the salts and by products, but I don't really care. I just know Core brand rips my mouth and tongue up, no problems with Barr.

Is it safe to take pain medications with Vyvanse?

Generally, no it doesn't matter if you take them together. But, it really depends on the type of pain medication that is being used. The analgesics (pain medication) category is truly massive and you would need to check with your primary healthcare provider to ensure that there are no drug to drug interactions.

Can you take codeine and Adderall together?

It depends on if the cough syrup contains dextromethorphan (DXM). DXM and adderall are a very unwise mix, creating a MAOI. It can cause very negative consequences and I would highly suggest against it. If it does not contain DXM, however, there should be no problem.

Can sudden withdrawal of Adderall cause harmful side effects?

This is kindly individual, regular users of Adderall (daily user) should not suddenly stop taking Adderall without first talking with the prescribing doctor. It's not something that one should do with ANY medication. Not recommended by any doctor, you should really be under doctors care when decreasing your dose. Making sure that your body is adjusting well. Since we are all different, react different, adjust different this is between patient and doctor.

How long will Adderall XR 10mg dose take to clear your system?

Effects will wear off somewhere between 8-18 (its long because it's the XR version!) hours depending on external factors such as metabolism, weight, stomach contents, etc.

The metabolites of Adderall (what is tested for in drug tests) should be clear from the body in 2-3 days if the Adderall use has not been prolonged (i.e.: one time use).

Can you take Adderall with xanax?

I wouldn't recommend trying it without consulting your doctor first, it could be very dangerous indeed.

Adderall and Xanax

My doctor prescribed me adderall and xanax (well actually niravam which is the same active ingredient in an instant dissolve form) at the same time. His only concern was that prescribing a medicine to treat anxiety with one that can cause it would be counterproductive. He said there weren't any major health issues.

Another View

I'm Leum and this is a separate answer based upon my personal experiences and research. I agree that you should only take adderall and xanax with a doctor's approval, but since you state that you have the doctor's approval and he claims there are no major health issues, you needn't be concerned.

I have personally been on a combination of adderall and xanax or Valium for many many years, and it is quite effective for me. People react differently to medications and I assume that you have ADD or ADHD since you are being prescribed adderall. I too have ADHD and just adderall by itself has a calming and focusing effect on me. adderall, although an amphetamine, does not create the typical non ADHD person's response as my biochemistry and physiology is different.

Due to stress and anxiety, I also require either the xanax or Valium. The combination works very well for me, and so long as you watch for drug dependency problems whereby you begin increasing the dosages at a steady pace, you'll be okay. Just taper off when you want to stop taking the medications as both can be psychologically addicting, and the xanax or Valium can cause physical addiction whereby you can suffer dangerous and even life threatening withdrawal. But again, tapering off by slowly reducing the dosage over a period of time is not difficult.

One final comment is that when you initiate therapy, don't be overly concerned about increasing dosage until you reach the point where you find relief. Then once you have found your own proper dosage, you should not require to increase from there, else you may be developing addictive behaviors.

If i take 3 10mgs of adderall xr will i pass a urine test in 6 days?

I would say there is a possibility, because it is an amphetamine (3-5days to get out of your system I believe?) but I wouldn't chance it. Wait til drug test, then pop them when you leave. :D

How much should you sell 20 mg adderall XR for?

I'm in college and a 30mg ir can go for around $4-5, and xr's I can find 20mg for $3, but normally go for $4 as well. Vyvanse normally runs a dollar per 10mg's. Adderall differs based on supply and demand. For example during finals, because of the large demand all prices normally rise by $1-2!

If you take laxatives before taking Adderall will the Adderall still work the same?

There is no immediate interaction between them unless you have an allergy to either of the two.

What is the mechanism of action of methylphenidate?

Though the mechanism of action of cocaine is not fully understood, it is thought to bind to and block the dopamine transporter protein (DAT). Blocking the action of this protein increases the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic cleft, thereby producing the characteristic effects of cocaine (such as stimulation and euphoria). Cocaine also affects serotonin receptors, sigma receptors, and sodium channels, though these actions play less of a role in its pharmacology.

Is it ok to mix Adderall and phenergan?

It gives you a pretty intense speed.. you shouldn't mix a lot of concerta with it though unless you can handle your speed (which i can't) haha i actually just mixed some last night and i usually always do sense the concerta will last longer. But if you take a lot of both you could possibly have really high blood pressure and possibly a heart attack but youd have to be super stupid to do that!

What are the effects of mixing Adderall and marajuana?

Fluoxetine being an antidepressant and THC being a very complicated drug anyway, the Adderall is also a stimulant. Basically, your brain gets a lot of very confused messages and will most likely not be able to control its reactions. Hence, you risk some serious problems.

Can focalin and Strattera be taken together?

Can you take adderall and levothyroxine at same time in the morning?

always take thyroid meds on an empty stomach. In the morning take the thyroid and wait an hour to eat or drink anything. Take meds after this hour and try to take vitamins much later. If you take the thyroid at night, you must go three hours of nothing to empty your stomach and then the one hour again. Best to take it in the morning. I set my alarm, take it with just enough water to swallow and go back to sleep.

How do you buy Adderall online?

There are four routes that I know of: * They may require a real prescription from a doctor you see before they send. * They may have a doctor on call who will cut a prescription based on information you type or speak into a phone. This practice is typically on the razor's edge of being illegal in the US. * They may be in a country where sending these meds without prescription is not illegal (although it may be in the receiving country). * Or they may just send a placebo. In any case, if the mother company (not necessarily the one you contact on the Net) is in another country, it's extremely difficult to seek legal recourse if they lie to you and send you a placebo or an impure or under-dose version of the medicine you asked for. And as there's no real way for you to ascertain what legal controls are in place, you're putting a lot of trust out there for someone you won't ever get to meet. Caveat emptor! (Buyer beware).

Can you take a Vyvanse and an oxycodone 500 capsule together?

Last week I took vyvanse and oxycodone together and got very sick, I'm fine taking oxycodone alone, and vyvanse alone, but together they make me very sick. I actually did it again today because I thought maybe the sickness was a coincidence, but sick again!

On Walgreen's website it says there are no drug interactions with the two, but I felt horrible and threw up a lot.

In fact I had to vomit in the middle of posting this, so don't do it!

Do you need to diet when using Adderall to lose weight?

First of all, it is a general believe that Adderall has a high abuse potential, so I guess you have to be careful with this drug. One thing you will notice is that the bigger the dose, the more fluid you will have to take, especially if you work out in any way. From what I have read about Adderall is that the side effects are too much of a price to pay to lose weight. If you are using this a quick fix, you need to recalculate the pro's and con's of this. Is a healthier lifestyle and some exercise not maybe a better option? The side effects people get from using this drug is just not worth it and most experts claim that this is just a temporary "fix", you wil gain again if you stop with it. Maybe the best advice anyone can give you is to consult with your Dr for alternatives. Good luck...

Is it safe to take adderall and Vyvanse together you have been prescribed 50 mg of Vyvanse to take in the am then in the afternoon 30mg of Adderall Is this safe?

First of all, 50 mg of Vyvanse is basically equivalent to 20mg of Adderall XR, so you're not really taking as much as it looks like. They are safe to take together because Vyvanse is all a d-amphetamine, and Adderall is a mixture of that plus other types of amphetamines. However, 40 mg of Adderall is the maximum recommended daily dose for ADHD, but up to 60 mg is okay for narcolepsy, but I don't think what you've got is too much unless you're sensitive to amphetamines.

I'm guessing that if it's for ADHD your doctor prescribed that mix because Vyvanse is made to last up to 14 hours and there is no quick release version available. You might need a little boost in the afternoon if that's when you do a lot of work, but you can't take more Vyvanse or you'll never sleep, so quick release Adderall would definitely do the trick.

Yes it's safe, and I'm trying to basically get that same prescription. I already take 50 mg of Vyvanse daily, and it starts to lose its effect by the time I'm doing most of my work so I need an extra kick that won't keep me up all night. Tell me if it works for you :)

This is the original answer, but he doesn't know what might work for you better than you and your doctor do; meds are very personal. Anyway here:

If I remember correctly, vyvanse is meant to last over a long period, so yea, 80 grams per day expanded over the entire day(16-18 hours that you are awake) is safe. If you are taking it for obesity/epilepsy/narcolepsy/etc, that is fine. I have found however, for adhd, it seems to work better for me at lower doses then at higher doses. If this the initial prescription that the doctor gave you, or a revised prescription? If it is the initial prescription, I would ask the doctor for a lower booster, but keep the vyvanse the same. If it it because lower doses do not seem to affect you, however, then it is fine. But, keep in mind that your diet dramatically effects how much adderall you absorb, as well as long it stays in your system. This won't affect vyvanse as much because it is a prodrug, but make sure you notify your doctor of any changes in your diet, and any euphoria you might experience. It is common to experience euphoria right after a change in dosage, but if it seems to last more then a week then your dosage is too high and you are at risk of becoming dependent... which is not a good thing.
