Psychostimulants

Well, hopefully you are asking the question in sincerity, and not just strategizing a score.

My best advice to you is to approach the conversation with evidence by which to support your argument. Write down all of the symptoms of ADD you are having over the course of a week or so leading up to the appointment. The doctor may still want to test you. If so, do as he says. Don't assume you are entitled to the prescription or even that you have properly diagnosed yourself. You may have a vitamin deficiency or something of the like, and that case another program of treatment might be necessary. A good doctor will do what they believe is helpful for the individual they have sitting in front of them.

CAUTION & DISCLAIMER
drug testing information is a summary of data gathered from site visitors, journal articles, websites, and other resources. Detection periods depend on amount and frequency of use, metabolic rate, body mass, age, overall health, drug tolerance, and urine pH of each individual. Many substances that are not tested for in basic or extended urinalysis tests CAN be tested for by a laboratory willing to go to the trouble, although that is uncommon.

Adderall is a Schedule II drug, which are drugs that have a high potential for abuse, but are approved for medical use in the U.S.

The physician cannot write a 90 day supply on one prescription, however, during a visit, you may be given no more than 3 separate prescriptions, with no refills on any of them, as long as they are sequentially dated, so they may not be filled before they are due.

Since Adderall is a stimulant medication used for ADHD it probably has a vasoconstrictive action (similar to caffeine). Vasoconstriction means that the smaller blood vessels get slightly smaller in order for a larger volume of your blood to be directed to your larger organs. Because of this action, the blood vessels and capillaries that supply blood to you arms, fingers, legs, and toes become smaller which means slightly less circulation which can cause them to become cooler than usual. Cold hands, fingers, feet, and toes doesn't always mean that your blood is "thinner" and there is no literature on Adderall that states that Adderall "thins your blood".

If you are talking about legal uses of Adderall, no, there are no over the counter ADHD drugs.

If you are talking about trying to use it as a stimulant, caffeine is the only safe stimulant.

Yes. You can actually take up to 40mg a day. I was on 30mg/daily for about 5 months. It made me gain a ton of weight, but it helped tremendously.

I can't say for sure but I take Focalin and i tested positive for ecstasy amphetamines and meth even though I had never done any of those drugs so it is likely however it was a cheap home test which is less accurate

The actual brand of amphetamines, Adderall was released in 1996, and XR in 2001.

Lexapro should be taken daily. Taper dose down slowly before ever stopping this medication, Xanax can be taken daily but can be addictive if taken for extented use. I recommend taking as needed. Ambien can be used for insomnia but not recommended for long term use. Use when necessary and limited use will insure effectiveness. Adipex can be used daily but diet and exercise more important. This drug will curb appetite but will cause anxiety and insomnia. Not recommended for long term use. Lexapro, Xanax, Ambien and Adipex can be used during the same day but again understand that the Adipex will cause insomnia, and anxiety and when this drug is eliminated, the need for Xanax and Ambien will diminish.

Answer: Adderall is absorbed through your stomach and broken down in your liver and excreted into your bladder, until nature calls. That pretty much sums it up. So yes, this does mean it will show up if you have your urine tested for drugs. hope this helps, Megan. *****

Depends on your body. Some people get addicted quite easily, but some don't. For example a pack of cigarettes will be enough for one person to become addicted, and for other months are needed to become addicted (like me :D ).

I began taking Vyvanse June 1st and so far have lost 24 pounds. I was overweight to begin with and needed to loose weight but had a lot of difficulty in the past. I don't think the meds. were 100% to blame for the weight lost because I made an effort to cut calories but it diffinitely helped. I was at a low-normal weight (BMI 19.2) when I started about 6 months ago and I've dropped about 20 pounds. Studies have proven that this medication is linked to weight loss.

I just had a prescription filled for 30 20mg Adderall XR capsules. Without insurance it would have been around $215! Since my insurance sucks I still paid around $175. Gonna talk to my doctor about switching to Dexedrine which is comparable to Adderall and costs around $40-50 depending on the dose. Just an FYI, you can get a generic version of Adderall (sold as mixed amphetamine salts), but only in the instant release version. Adderall XR (extended release) is patented through 2018 so there will not be a generic version of Adderall XR for several years.

Yes ... if prescribed by a physician who is using Wellbutrin to treat depression, ADHD or smoking cessation attempts, in a patient who is also being treated for erectile dysfunction. However, it is more common to take these medications at different times of day, rather than together.

"U" should not snort anything unless you want to damage your brain and your body. No one is immortal and no one is immune. nothing. it takes about three weeks to build up enough lexapro in your system befor you start seeing changes in your serotonin levels, so snorting it once wont do anything.

I hope so because I just did! Tramadol is classified as an analgesic, having both weak opioid properties and weak SNRI properties. Naltrexone will displace tramadol on the mu-2 opioid receptors, blocking pain relief through that pathway. However, studies have confirmed that the fast acting SNRI properties of tramadol will still provide significant pain relief compared to placebo when taken with an opiate antagonist such as naltrexone. Studies in myself have confirmed these findings. To the best of my knowledge, this is not a dangerous combination.

Ritalin is not an illegal drug unless found on a person who is not prescribed to it. If you are prescribed to it and taking it right then you have nothing to worry about. If you are caught selling it or buying it from people that is considered drug transfer which is illegal.

People on stimulants tend to have dilated pupils, agitated behavior, rapid or excessive speech (often called "verbal diarrhea"), hypervigilance (looking around in a circumspect manner), anxiety, aggression, and/or paranoid symptoms. They may also have pallor due to vasoconstriction shunting blood away from the skin. Checking for vital signs, you will often find increased blood pressure and pulse, due to adrenergic effects of stimulants on the nervous system.

Yes and no..... It is illegal in the United States to purchase any DEA schedule 2 chemical (like Adderall, and the other amphetamines) online and have it shipped to you, regardless of prescription status. There are foreign pharmacies that advertise online the purchase and shipment of Adderall to America, but it is not legal to do that..... I wouldn't consider myself a law abiding citizen, but this is a law that I am unwilling to violate. My roomate when I was in rehab a few years ago was getting extended-release oxycodone (Oxycontin, another schedule 2 substance) shipped to him from Mexico. The feds seized one of his packages and arrested him, and his bail was $100,000, just FYI.

It depends on the specific urine drug test that is being used; But yes, it's possible to see the level of amphetamine in your system.

Depends. Extended release supposedly lasts a little longer. Taking three 5mg tablets will stay in your system for a few hours depending on how long you've been taking them, what food you've eaten (citric acid will decrease absorption of the med), and how fast your liver metabolizes the meds. I take 15mg three times per day, and I have for 20 years. I take my doses every 4-5 hours. As far as how long the meds are detectable in your system is a few days on average. Your body processes the meds quickly. Hope this info helps.

Methylphenidate improved both social anxiety and ADHD symptoms in adults, study found.

It depends on your weight and tolerance level.
