What kind of people use adderall?

Anyone and everyone! That is why you must be moderate in your intake of this medication. It is easy to become addicted to it, and then to take more and more than is diagnosed by your doctor. One strategy -- if you are overdoing

it -- is to cease taking it for a week to 10 days. Then when you resume it, you will again experience the same benefits at or near the original dose. Good luck!

How long will 300mg of adderall stay in your system?

It takes 12 hours after your last dose of Adderall for it to be "out of your system" meaning only trace amounts are found in blood and all other bodily fluids, regardless of dose. After 12 hours your brain begins to recover so you'll be able to sleep easily but cognitive functions won't be fully returned to the condition they were in before the 120mg until 48-72hrs after the dose. If for some reason your concern is a drug test, Adderall isn't detected in urine beyond that 1-3 days. If its restful and regenerativesleep you're after, which is more likely, then the aforementioned 12 hour mark is very accurate. It may seem like an exaggeration but from my experience its impossible to fall asleep, and stay asleep until approximately 12 hours after. This of course is with out the aid of other substances such as: alcohol, OTC sleep aids, marijuana, Ambien, Clonidine etc. - which tend complicate things further.

Can you take Vyvanse in the morning and Darvocet at night?

There are no known drug to drug interactions between these two medications, making them safe to take together...regardless of the time of day. Make sure to contact you primary care provider prior to taking these two medications to ensure that it is safe.

Adult dosage of Adderall xr?

No idea what you're asking, but adults do take adderall, and can range in dosage depending on ... a lot. (once a day or twice a day as well)

Can you take 40mg of adderall if you aren't prescribed?

Legally speaking, could be very bad. (It's illegal...)

Generally/practically speaking, this is like asking if it is bad to take any drug if it is not prescribed to you.

In other words, it is good to get an official diagnosis. Despite the bad wrap they get, most Psy-docs (neurologists included) know what they're doing. In most cases, I have had the best results with drugs that were prescribed by my neurologist as opposed to those I thought would work for me but didn't work as well (Provigil, for example).

Adderall and the other ADD/HD drugs might not really help those who don't have issues concentrating? For example, my mom's reaction to a stimulant was completely opposite to my own (drove her "up the wall," yet calmed me down).

Hope this helps...

What happens to you physically when you take a lethal dose of Adderall?

The symptoms depend on the severity of the over dose. One symptom that will most likely be present even in low scale overdoses is Insomnia. This is usually coupled by Euphoria, talking very often/quite fast, An increase in body temperature, mild to excessive sweating, severe loss of appetite, Rapid heart beat, and an unusual change in behavior. These are some of the most common symptoms of a small to medium overdose which I would say would be 1 to 4 pills more then your prescribed dose. Usually the effects will gradually were off and you will be fine you should however consult a doctor if you are seriously worried or go to your local emergency room. With a larger overdose things get a lot more serious. The effects can include all of the afore mentioned symptoms and one or all of the following. Extreme rapid heartbeat and/or Arrhythmia leading to either cardiac arrest or in rare cases the heart literally rips a hole in itself, Either way you die. Amphetamine induced Psychosis/Paranoia including hallucinations and delusions with a loss of control of your actions. And finally massive Seizures resulting in death. You should definitely call 911 if you experience any of the major over dose symptoms or you will probably die. I'm not a doctor but this is usually the effects of an overdose. This should not be substituted for actual medical advise/attention. Amphetamines can be very dangerous and unpredictable at times. for more information on this and other drugs I suggest you visit the link below which contains a cornucopia of information regarding this and other substances.

Is it safe to take hydroxycut and Adderall?

Be very cautious with dietary supplements.... they don't have any FDA oversight, and there are a lot of false claims, conterfeit products, and uncertain doses (the amount of "drug" in a capsule isn't regulated) out there. I don't know the MOA (mechanism of action) of Hoodia, but most weight lossproducts work, in part, by raising heart rate and blood pressure. Adderall can do that to, so it's a double whammie. There is NO effective "magic bullet" pill for weight loss. Diet and exercise, and permanent lifestyle change. Among all uniquehoodia is more better. With COA documentation to prove that it is one of the ONLY products to contain nothing but pure hoodia, this is one powerful appetite Good luck.

How can you take Vyvanse?

You can obtain a prescription from a licensed medical doctor if you have ADHD, or for other reasons your physician sees fit. Obtaining Vyvanse otherwise is a federal offence and carries severe penalties due to Vyvanse containing a schedule II drug.

Can you inject Adderall or Ritalin and if not why?

Yes, if you had pure Ritalin it can be injected however injecting Ritalin (methylphenidate) from any tablet without proper purification would be highly dangerous as there are many other ingredients in those tablets which would need to be filtered out.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

While the above answer is correct, despite the fact you will do what you want regardless, some additional information may make one or two people think twice and justify the effort.

If you read the prescribing information for methylphenidate HLC several important points are made. Most important being that methylphenidate HCL is freely soluble in water, and that the drug is acidic. Unless you intend to use a solvent like methanol or acetone which would produce toxic effects, the water solubility is essential. Acidic chemicals tend to have an advantage with regards to removing additional impurities as they will cross between two immiscable solvents if one is made acidic. The impurities remain in the original solute while the product concentrates in the lower pH layer, allowing one to remove the non-pH-lowered solvent to be drained off. Since most persons reading this answer will be using a spoon and water, no point in further discussion there.

While the fillers and other tablet components are unhealthy to inject for various reasons I'll focus on the particulate matter that is introduced directly into the vein. Despite your best efforts to remove these particles, it can't be done without supplies beyond a cotton ball or coffee filter. In a clinical setting you will see patients with irreversible damage to the valves that stop blood from flowing backward when the heart beats. This damage itself causes inefficiency and as a result an increase in cardiac load. In the short-term symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and edema can be seen. Over time the cumulative effect can be an enlargement of the heart muscle to a point that the organ can no longer effectively circulate blood. *Subaortic stenotic hypertrophy.

Stimulant medications, taken appropriately, carry an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The leading cause of sudden cardiac death in younger patients is Cardiomyopathy (or Subaortic senotic hypertrophy.) While it often doesn't get that far without diagnosis the outlook isn't good. Medication can manage some aspects to an extent, but only for awhile. Treatment over the longterm requires a transplant, something persons with a history of IV substance abuse are not likely to receive.

My clinical background is shadowed by IV substance abuse, and therefor I can say from an understanding but stern position that anyone taking the risk of injecting drugs in this manner is well past the point of a casual user. Willingness to even consider this route shows desperation. Get help now so we don't waste resources on treating you later.

Is it safe to take adderall while pregnant?

From what I gather from the research, no studies have been conducted with humans. When rats and rabbits were given high doses of Concerta (over the prescribed normal dosages) there were birth defects. Rats that were given 30 mg or less of concerta had normal offspring. HOWEVER, it is unclear if the rats were given this dosage daily... From what I can gather from speaking with doctors and other members of the medical profession - it is recommended that pregnant women should not take the drug during pregnancy. Concerta has been classified by the FDA as a drug to be avoided during pregnancy and that there are no human studies to substantiate a claim one way or another. I am pregnant and a PhD student and am struggling without my Concerta and am wondering if there are any alternatives? I have found some websites that suggest if the drawbacks outweight the potential risks, then continue taking the med, but I can't see the risk of birth defects outweighing 9 months of struggling through school.

How long does Vyvanse stay in your system?

Vyvanse usually exits the body through urine after being excreted by the kidneys with 48 hours. But, remains of the medication can be in your system for up to 2 weeks.

Can Ritalin get you high?

Adderall is a great study drug, as well as giving a good euphoria. While on it you will have a False Sense of Self-Worth, Hightened Confidence, and if used as a party drug you will literally talk to anyone and everyone around you.

How many Vyvanse 50mg capsules does it take to get you high?

It depends on how many drugs you have done in the past. If you are a lightweight and don't get prescribed them, then one should be enough, but if they are prescribed to you or you have done drugs for awhile 2 should do the trick. But don't take more than 3 because you might overdose.

How do you get off Adderall?

This is an answer that you must read and follow very carefully. Wait until youre not high anymore, if you are still high then the next step is very dangerous. When its done and you feel like (deleted at the insistance of thy censoring gods of the interweb) have a SMALL amount of alcohol. Mixing uppers(like ritalin) and downers(like alcohol) is very dangerous. However, if you have SMALL amount to drink, something slightly less then a mild buzz, I've found that it counteracts. DO NOT GET DRUNK, DANGEROUS RESULTS LIKE DEATH MAY OCCUR. You have to be careful. Best way to go about it is coolers, one or two, maybe three if you drink alot.

Can I send adderall through us postal service?

No! It is a felony, unless you are registered with the DEA. The only people allowed to mail narcotics are the presciber or the pharmacist to the patient. For example: if you left it home from college or something, your mom needs to take it to your pharmacist and ask them to mail it to you.

Will Ritalin show a false positive on a hair follicle drug test?

Yes Methylphenidate (Ritalin) will show up on the hair screen as it metabolizes into compounds that form the basis for the test. The same compounds that Meth metabolizes into so it's important you have a current prescription for it. I did fortunately have a current script when it showed on my test. And they asked for a script for it specifically. As it was explained to me once something is detected they do more specific tests to determine if it's Class 1 or lower. Class 1 being street drugs with no authorized medical use in the U.S. ( initial screening will test for methamphetamine AND Amphetamine )

all standard hair test cover 90 day s IF you have1.5" if you have.5" then they only see 30 days aprox . ( metabolite degrade after this period )However it was also explained to me that while hair tests supposedly cover a 90 day period that in fact the longer its been since you took a drug the less likely the hair test will detect it. they didn't know why but it explained why they didn't detect Soma or Oxycodone which I had taken 6 weeks earlier for a back injury.

How long does 70mg Vyvanse last for 190 pounds?

Vyvanse has been shown in clinical trials to last from 12 hours to upwards of 14 hours. The amount varies for each individual.

Possibly the first time you take it. Different variables come in to play, for example, if you eat before taking then the effect can be cut in half, if not almost neutralized entirely. Digestion plays a major role in the outcome of the effect with this medication. To gain the full effect, take it before you eat, but drink some soda or eat a candy bar through out to help give your body some energy, milk works very well in helping settle your stomach, since you won't have an appetite for hours after taking this. Just aswell you"ll probably not going to be sleeping when you first begin taking it. Its better to allow your body to gradually become a custom to it, after a few weeks to a month or so, your appetite while taking this medication should improve. As with any narcotic, self-control and common sense is key. Trust me, I know about it all to well !!

What is a high level of Adderall?

Adderall xr's have quit a bit more kick than vyvanse in terms of mg doses. If I want to get a good study session done I'll normally take around 30mg xr of Adderall and will be going pretty good and that's with some tolerance built up.

Adderall contains:

  • 1/4 dextro-amphetamine saccharate
  • 1/4 dextro-amphetamine sulfate
  • 1/4 (racemic amphetamine) aspartate monohydrate
  • 1/4 (racemic amphetamine) sulfate

Your bioequivalent doses (in terms of VYVANSE and AdderallXR) would be 30 to 10, 50 to 20, and 70 to 30, respectively. 30 of adderall would be MUCH stronger than 30 of VYVANSE. At one time no one should take more than 40mg adderall xr or more than 70mg's of Vyanse within a 8-10 hour period. Especially if it's your first time using it and you don't have a prescription, which I'm guessing you don't because your asking this. For someone that is prescribed they can take more because it has a little different effect on them most of the time. With those that are prescribed it creates calm and focus away from their ever racing minds. For those without a prescription it creates energy, drive, focus and a strong feeling of self worth.

Can you take Ritalin and tramadol?

The answer is yes you can, I have been using them both for years with no problems. That said, dosage of both could be an issue as they both have CNS effects. Even though tramadol is a synthetic version on codiene in its action, it does effect the CNS by slight stimulation, also it works with serotonin, not like an SSRI but it sort of like an agonist. I am not a doctor, so check with your doctor.

Is it safe to get started on 80mg of adderall xr?

The FDA recommends to at most take 60 mg per day. Doctors prescribe this in divided doses, of maximum 30 mg a dose every 6 hours.

100mg of adderall, in one dose, could and likely will lead to adverse side effects listed on the PI sheet. The biggest things to worry about are having a heart attack, going into psychosis, liver damage, dehydration, and also, the medication not working anymore because you would be raising your tolerance - which means a nasty withdrawal after.

If you're taking sedatives or NE or dopamine blockers with it, it might not be the same, but adderall also increases norepinephrine and serotonin - which will still cause increased blood pressure risk of stroke and possibly serotonergenic problems.

Please be safe and only take a legally prescribed dosage. It is not worth the pain in the end.

Is it safe for a 6 year old child to take Adderall XR 15mg Clonidine 0.15 mg and Abilify 1 mg?

AnswerOur experiences would lead me to say "I wouldn't recommend it... especially for children." Here's why: My then 11 yr. old son was taking Focalin (no complaints abt. the focalin) & Abilify (OMG!) for about a year. The Dr. dropped the Focalin but kept the Abilify. During that year, he was urinating on himself during the day w/o realizing it (2-3 times a day sometimes!) & bed-wetting. He was subjected to tests, ultrasounds, and had been subjected to an unnecessary surgery. All they needed was to simply test my son's blood sugar to find out it was astronomically high! Within 2-3 wks. of removing the Abilify, he'd quit wetting himself. Then he was given Strattera, which lasted less than 2 wks., due to my son waking one night complaining of chest pains. His heart was racing & blood pressure escalated so I rushed him to the E.R. where we were told to discontinue the meds immediately. So, please watch your child carefully and DEMAND that the prescribing physician tests your child's blood sugar levels & liver (while taking abilify) at least every 6 mths. Please be careful!
