Psychostimulants

Adderall XR lasts longer. The XR stands for extended release and lasts around 8-12 depending on the consumer, mg, & tolerance. Generic Adderall which is actually Adderall IR (Instant Release) only lasts for a few hours (about 4 depending on the mgs) because Adderall XR is made from 2 different "beads" which one type releases automatically n the other type releases in about 4 hours so in the end Adderall xr lasts about 8 - 12 hours. When you pay for the Adderall XR you are paying for the extended release feature. SO Adderall XR lasts longer than Adderall IR.

Although only a doctor who is experienced with both these medications and their possible interaction effects can answer this, the general (and safer) answer would be no. First of all, there is a reason why ADHD pill containers warn users not to break the pills/chew them while taking them. This speeds their release amount per time and can have dangerous effects (such as tachycardia (too fast heartbeat), hypertension, anxiety, etc.) some of which can be life threatening. Both these drugs are stimulants, so if you take them combined, you are increasing your risks for these complications. In addition, because these work by related mechanisms, they could have combined effects that are different than either alone and more dangerous. If it is not working, the best things to try are different dose levels, different administration (for some, taking a low dose over several times a day is better than one/two normal doses), or other coping mechanisms (such as increased exercise (when NOT on the medication, i.e., at least 6 hours since you last took it (if it's not the extended release)). Also, it's possible that your symptoms may be caused by other problems than ADHD, and that is why the medication doesn't work.

Hope this answered your question. I can 99.9% guarantee you that no qualified doctor would ever recommend double doses, as it could kill you.

rittalin or strattera

I would not advise it, especially if you've never taken it before. You can't be sure how it will affect you. You might become manic and hyperactive, which could make it harder to take the test.

I've taken Adderall or Ritalin in college, when I needed to write an entire paper in a night or something. And it works very well for that purpose. But taking it for a test is different.

Adderall and Ritalin can help you stay focused and alert when you have a lot of academic work to do in a limited amount of time. Most people can't concentrate long enough to write an entire paper in a night. Adderall/Ritalin will keep you focused and driven, so you can keep working for hours and hours straight.

But a test only takes one or two hours to complete. So it's not necessary to take something that will help keep you working for hours and hours.

To do well on a test, you just need to be able to remember what you've learned. And Adderall/Ritalin won't help you with that. It can help you study for the test, by keeping you alert and focused so you can study for hours and hours. But it won't help you remember what you've learned while you're taking the test.

Also, it usually helps to be relaxed when you take a test, and you won't feel relaxed if you take Adderall. It could make you nervous, jumpy and irritable.

You should go to the hospital I weigh 159lbs and took 60 mg and was hospitalized. It all depends how used your body is to taking them in large dosages

No, the makers have added sticky, gluey gunk in order to make less "abusable"

Back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome are common indirect effects of amphetamine. Amphetamine's direct effects are extra energy, tighter muscles, and dehydration. You tend to overdo things. Add in a pre-existing weak back or carpal tunnel, and not forcing yourself to drink enough, then yes, you will experience these symptoms.

If your niece has been prescribed Adderall and is taking it from Monday thru Friday but not on Saturday and Sunday, then she is going through the beginning of Adderall withdrawal every weekend. This can be prevented by taking Adderall 7 days a week. However, you should consult with your physician as to whether this regime is appropriate for your niece.

I was given Ritalin from age 5 to 15... and nearly every single evening after my last afternoon dose was wearing off, namely between 5pm and 7pm, my ears would swell up and become beet red... sometimes even annoying and clearly visible. The pediatrician never was able to explain it, but i feel it is CLEAR this was caused by the Ritalin. Ritalin also probably caused social misdevelopment because I feel it was given to me WAY too early in life. In spite of the localized hype with dozens of people who have died from this drug (out of MILLIONS taking it)... I still think its relatively safe as long as some basic heart and family history is done before hand. I however might be on the bottom of the luck here because I am 25 now and am starting to develop signs of mild heart disease probably related to long term Ritalin exposure.

30mg. I am on it and my doctor told me that is as high as it goes, and if that doesn't work then I should think about using a different type.

Definitely.

you need to get a life!!

Amphetamin

48 hours depending on how much taken

yes they usually do.

Adderall is a controlled substance and can't be purchased legitimately anywhere but a local pharmacy. It's a bit of legwork, but the simplest way to find a good price is to call around. It's also important to make sure you're getting the generic equivalent of Adderall rather than the brand name (Adderall is far more expensive than the generic, called Amphetamine Salts). My insurance company's website has a comparison of local pharmacies and what they charge for particular medications; it's possible you might be able to find a similar comparison tool online.

There are also prescription assistance programs, and if you qualify, you can receive medications at a reduced cost. Your doctor or pharmacist should have that information, and you can also look it up online. The upper income limit is five times the poverty level (which for a family of three is about $54,000), so the program is fairly generous in terms of who qualifies.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy Adderall online. It's highly illegal and potentially dangerous, because any online pharmacy that will sell it to you might also be sending you a counterfeit drug that is at best ineffective and at worst dangerous.

When I started adderal I had a rush the first 2 days, the it stopped. you might want to talk to your doctor to lower the dose and see if that worlks.My doctor is montering me. i am now taking 30mg and it is not working at all, it works for a couple of hrs and then my adhd kicks in again, My phsy said that it is normal to change the dose until you find out what works, hope that helped.

No. This is a common mistake due to how close it sounds to Xanax. It's actually spelled Zanaflex and it is a muscle relaxant. It acts on a completely different brain receptor. Also, it is not a controlled substance.

This medication is prescribed for several things, so not knowing which condition it's being taken for, here are the usual dosages: * The usual dosage of this medication for weight control is 5 - 30 mg per day, in divided doses, 30-60 minutes before a meal; alternately, a single, long-acting dose can be taken in the morning. * The usual dosage for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is 2.5 - 40 mg per day. * For narcolepsy (the inability to stay awake) is 5 - 60 mg a day.

Very quickly, if it's the entended release XR it'll take a tad longer since its well extended. But 48 hrs assuming normal activity and plenty of water is very doable. It's water soluable and a stimulant so not only does it leave through urination quickly it's also going to speed up your metabolism and make you pee more often.

Im sure someone will come in and disagree with something ive said but it'll no longer than 72 hours at the max.

if by overuse you mean overdose, there is no known "antidote" that can stop a continuing rise in blood serum levels. however, if the overdose was recent, stomach pumping (gastric lavage) may be appropriate in an ER setting, and if the overdose was hours ago and the effects are continuing to worsen, some benzodiazepines like lorazepam (ativan) can be useful in calming the patient's nerves and anxiety that can result from overdose, as well as help prevent seizures, which are common in large adderall overdoses. supportive care is the only treatment.

Yes, indeed it does.

The primary way to counteract this, though, is to keep well hydrated.
