Psychostimulants

Unlike marijuana, Adderall is not fat-soluble, thus the window for detection is significantly smaller. However, in your situation, it will most likely appear on a drug test, as the detection period for it is three to five days. However, it is still possible, that over-hydration and intensive exercise could flush it out of your system faster than that.

In The United States Desoxyn (methamphetamine), manufactured by Lundbeck, is available and FDA approved for ADHD although use of Desoxyn for the treatment of narcolepsy is essentially universally accepted. Desoxyn, like other amphetamines, may also be appropriate for certain other conditions although use of amphetamines (especially methamphetamine) for conditions aside from ADHD and narcolepsy is not very common.

A generic manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals is also available.

No other medications contain methamphetamine, at least not an abusable form of methamphetamine. However some over-the-counter nasal decongestant vapor inhalers contain levmetamfetamine which despite its name (changed due to the stigma around methamphetamine) is methamphetamine. However methamphetamine has multiple isomers, each with different effects. The methamphetamine in Desoxyn is more accurately known as dextromethamphetamine where as levomethamphetamine, which has no abuse potential, is found in nasal decongestants. The dextro isomer is like your right hand and the levo isomer is like your left hand, they are mirror images of the same thing.

I have been on citalopram for about 14 years (since the age of 9) and recently was prescribed adderall in may 2011. (I say recent because it's the latest medication I've been put on, even though it's almost been a year).

I was always concerned about the citalopram having been on it so long and such a large dose (80mg/day) and I have been told by multiple doctors and pharmacists that it is one of the longest used and safest SSRI's available compared to the others. I use it to treat anxiety and thrichotilomania (compulsive hair pulling).

I read research on adderall helping relieve anxiety due to ADHD/ADD going untreated (I was diagnosed around the age of 5 with ADD) and never treated, which could in theory helped aid in the hair pulling to start along with severe anxiety ect.

LONG story short, I have yet to find a doctor who is concerned about the two being mixed. One regulates a chemical imbalance while the other stimulates a particular area of the brain.

Will your dosage need to be adjusted? That I don't know - I'm not a doctor, I just know what they tell me. I do know that since being on adderall I have not had to take my xanex or have not had panic attacks or large hair pulling bouts because of the stress that has been taken away from treating my adhd/add. 90% of my anxiety was from not being able to function well enough in college and pre college - focus on anything important - and was going through jobs like air. I was tested and in the top 1% of worse case ADHD in adults though - so it makes sense it's helping me so much.

To say the least it's worth trying them together with doctors consent - if you are taking the citalopram for the similar reasons as I. I don't know if I will be able to stop taking it or lower the dosage some day, but treating the ADHD has improved the quality of my life 200% - sad I waited until I was 24, lol, but better late than never.

Yes. Adderall's an amphetamine while zoloft is ssri. The 2 effect different receptors. Adderall pretty much only increase flow in the brain of already existent chemicals while zoloft actually cause the gland to excrete more serotonin

Adderall is often tested for in standard drug tests. Although the detection time varies on the frequency and amount of the drug taken, the detection time for adderall and other amphetamines is 2-4 days in a urine test, 72 hours in a saliva test, and 90 days in a hair test.

A medication's "half-life" is a simple standard of reference. It assists prescribing physicians/PA's/NP's in comparing the length of time medications remain active and effective in the body. This elapsed time often influences a prescriber's choice of medication based on individual patient need. The term comes from the length of time it takes for half of the original dose of the drug to remain in the patient's bloodstream. One example of this is the comparitively long half-life of the older tranquilizer Valium (diazepam) vs. the very short half-life of Xanax (alprazolam) a much newer tranquilizer which has become widely prescribed due in part to its fast-acting, yet quickly subsiding effect.

I'm not a doctor but I play one on the Internet..

According to Drugs.com GENERALLY AVOID: Due to its serotonergic activity, coadministration of tramadol with serotonin-enhancing drugs such as SSRIs, SNRIs, nefazodone, trazodone, and mirtazapine may potentiate the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A and 2A receptors. Symptoms of the serotonin syndrome may include mental status changes such as irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, and coma; autonomic dysfunction such as tachycardia, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, shivering, blood pressure lability, and mydriasis; neuromuscular abnormalities such as hyperreflexia, myoclonus, tremor, rigidity, and ataxia; and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients receiving tramadol with serotonin-enhancing drugs may also have an increased risk of seizures due to additive epileptogenic effects of these agents.

MANAGEMENT: In general, the use of tramadol in combination with highly serotonergic agents should be avoided if possible, or otherwise approached with caution if potential benefit is deemed to outweigh the risk. Patients should be closely monitored for symptoms of the serotonin syndrome during treatment. Particular caution is advised when increasing the dosages of these agents. The potential risk for serotonin syndrome should be considered even when administering serotonergic agents sequentially, as some agents may demonstrate a prolonged elimination half-life.

Currently the medication is available in doses of 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, and 70mg capsules. The medication is designed to be taken orally once daily soon after waking up. The amount that you take per day should be determined by the prescriber (physician) and should not be adjusted without their consent. Usually the prescriber starts a patient on a low dose (30mg) and adjusts the dose on a weekly (or greater) basis by no more then ten milligrams (mg) at one time; the adjustment in dosing ends when the desired effects are present. Taking large quantities (even 1 or 2 tablets) of this medication at once is not advised and can have the same effects and side effects of any other central nervous system stimulant.

Here's what the Adderall website has to say:

Do not crush, chew, break, or open the capsule. Swallow it whole because it is designed to release the amphetamine and dextroamphetamine slowly. Breaking or opening the pill would cause the stimulant to be released too quickly. Drink a full glass of water with the Adderall.

If is is hard for your child to swallow Adderall XR whole, the capsule may be opened and the contents sprinkled into soft food such as applesauce or yogurt and taken immediately.

Do not drink fruit juices or take vitamin C with any form of amphetamine or dextroamphetamine. These can may reduce the absorption of the stimulant.

The ICD-9 Code for Attention Deficit Disorder is 314.0, and 314.00/314.01 for without and with hyperactivity, respectively. There is no subset for the adult variants.

It has helped me to be more gentle with my children. It has helped me sleep better. It has also helped me with my relationship with my husband and children and also friends. Helps me to focus a little more to. Whenever I start something I usually get it done. Before I took it I procrastinated quite a bit. It works all in all.

There are no recorded interactions between the two drugs. According to Drugs.com, "No results found - however, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist." From personal experience, I have been prescribed both by the same doctor. Yes technically Vyvanse is a stimulant and Codeine is a CNS depressant...however, both of these are pro-drugs, which means that the active ingredient is not effective until it is metabolized by the liver. Vyvanse releases amphetamine once it is metabolized and Codeine is converted into Morphine once metabolized. As long as you are taking the recommended dosages and are prescribed both by the same doctor or doctors that are aware of each other, you will be good. If your intention is to abuse the two together, there is a chance that you might feel a mild "speedball" effect, which is simply a euphoric feeling one gets from mixing an opiate with a stimulant. This can be dangerous, however it is basically an EXTREMELY mild version of the effects produced when Heroin is mixed with Meth or Cocaine...which people do all the time and do not die from, but some HAVE...so if it's recreational use you are asking for...use at your own risk, but be at least be aware of the way the drugs work with the body...hopefully I provided you enough insight to do just that.

For the technical record: I do not condone the use recreational use of prescription medication, I am simply answering this question in an educational way.

I am. so i guess so. :) been about a week and i take seroquel too. gotta say during the day when all i take is adderall 5mg im good then in the afternoon i take a dose of 150effexor 25topamax n 25seroquel it slows me down so that im ready for bed meds 50topamax and 50seroquel around 1030. i asked for this regimen after trying multiple combinations with these meds and others like risperidal, lamictal, and a mess more i can't recall.

Of course! Marijuana is completely natural and can be used with any drugs with no side effects other than a high of course.

• hyperactivity
• euphoria
• irritability
• anxiety
• excessive talking
• depression or excessive sleeping at odd times
• go long periods of time without eating or sleeping
• dilated pupils
• weight loss
• dry mouth & nose

It should be glaringly obvious that taking it at any time is unsafe.

In addition, taking illegal drugs while breast feeding constitutes child abuse, and you could very easily lose your child to child protective services if you continue.

Check with your parents and your doctor. You could have some underlying health issue that could interact negatively. Better safe then sorry.

no, from what I've heard, you cannot freebase or smoke Adderall XR as-is. Not saying it's not possible, but i can honestly say I've never heard of it being done.

No.

It is very unlikely for one drug to cause a false positive on a drug screen for any other substance. Drug screens test for metabolites of specific drugs. All drug tests have a rating based on specificity and sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the lower the specificity. Basically it is only possible to have a false positive by using another drug that is very chemically similar to the positive test. These drugs are not chemically similar.

No, I've been taking both for years and have never had a problem.
As a rule of thumb birth control pills work beside anything, but read through both of the usage information sheets and consult a doctor if still in doubt.

It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Ritalin. In general the stimulants and depressants together are bad (see Four-Loko). The effects of the alcohol are significantly less pronounced and often lead the user to drinking themselves into a dangerous state. If you do, take note of this fact and drink small amounts to determine how the combination effects you.
