How much methylphenidate needs to be consumed to hallucinate?
A potentially lethal amount. methylphenidate is a stimulant, not a hallucinogen. If you want a stimulant experience with hallucinations I suggest doing some research on dextromethorphan if you haven't already. Though judging by the fact that you know what methylphenidat is, you probably know all about DXM.
How to decrease the dosage of Adderall?
No! Never cut a tablet labeled XR in half it is an extended release tablet made to be slowly broken down by the body. If you break it in half you will receive to much medication at a time. Talk to you doctor about lowering you dosage or about taking the 20mg every other day.
Do you get drug tested before you get prescribed adderall?
No, they do not. I have ADHD myself. & i just went to the doctors & got tested & then got it.
What is the penalty for possession of Adderall without a prescription?
This is a rather broad question. I have in my medicine cabinet a perfectly legal pain killer that was prescribed for me, which contains codeine, which is a type of opiate. Actually, any opiate is legal if it is medically prescribed, although some are prescribed more freely than others. If you are using opiates for recreational purposes rather than for medical purposes, that is illegal, but again, the penalties vary quite a bit depending upon three factors: what kind of opiate is it, how much of it do you have, and in what legal jurisdiction were you caught. There is a huge difference between having some drugs for your personal use, and having drugs that you are in the business of selling on the black market. Penalties vary tremendously.
What happens if a dog eats a Ritalin pill?
Talk to your vet right away. Human meds are not meant for animals, and some may cause serious problems.
Is 30 mg of Ritalin a high dose?
It depends on if it is instant release or long action. Long action lasts for about 8 hours so you will get about 4mg an hour which is not much. without tolerance you would feel it but not be overwhelmed. Talking instant release 30mg is a fairly high dose (would only be achieved taking in recreational quantities).
..
i am on 30mg instant release 3 times a day ..90mg total...doctor may be putting it higher ..LA had not effect at all..
What types of doctors can prescribe Adderall?
When my son was in 2nd grade, he was first on Ridilan and then Adderall. They were both prescribed by his pediatrician. For an adult to get on a drug like adderall, they have one that is stimulant free, I forget what it is called but that is generally prescribed by either your PCP or a Psychiatrist, they can write all sorts of anti-depressant drugs and other psychotropic drugs. (drugs that alter the brain's chemistry). If your PCP won't write it, then you may have to get a referral to a psychiatrist depending on your insurance plan. Many family doctor's (Primary Care Physicians) won't write for these types of drugs because it is out of their area of expertise.
What does the pill Adderall look like?
There are many possible answers depending on what you are reffering to as "the pill."
Generic amphetamine compounds equivilent to the immediate release (IR) formula of Adderall are available as tablets. The generic tablets are manufactured by a number of pharmaceutical companies and therefore all look different. Immediate release Adderall itself (brand name, distributed by Shire) comes in 7 strengths, so whichever one you mean by "the pill" would look like the following:
5mg IR- Either white or blue round tablets with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "5" on the other
7.5mg IR- Scored, blue, oblong tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "7.5" on the other
10mg IR- Scored, blue, round tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "10" on the other
12.5mgIR - Scored, orange, round tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "12.5" on the other
15mg IR- Scored, orange, oblong tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "15" on the other
20mg IR- Scored, orange, round tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "20" on the other
30mg IR- Scored, orange, round tablet with "AD" imprinted on 1 side and "30" on the other
If by "the pill" you were referring to the extended release (XR) capsules, they are currently only available from 1 company (Shire). The XR capsules are available in 6 different strengths, which look like the following:
5mg XR- Blue with clear capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "5mg" imprinted on it
10mg XR- Blue with transluscent blue capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "10mg" imprinted on it
15mg XR- White with transluscent blue capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "15mg" imprinted on it
20mg XR- Orange with orange capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "20mg" imprinted on it
25mg XR- White with orange capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "25mg" imprinted on it
30mg XR- Orange with clear capsule with "ADDERALL XR" and "30mg" imprinted on it
Differences between Adderall and Vyvanse euphoria?
Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, while Adderall is dextroamphetamine, aka (a-methylphenethylamine). Vyvanse is a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine, meaning it is only active after you eat it, so there is little to no abuse potential. Basically, Vyvanse is dextroamphetamine bonded with lysine (an essential amino acid). The euphoria experienced with 50mg Vyvanse orally, is comparable to 25mg Adderall orally. However Adderall is active through insufflation (snorting) so I would assume the euphoria would be better on Adderall.
How much adderall should you take with 100mg of seroquel?
It totally depends on what you are taking it for. 100 mg of seroquel will knock you out if you aren't extremely used to it. The doses of both seroquel and adderall change based on how much you have done in the past, plus what your underlying disorder is. If this is for medical purposes, consult your doctor. If this is for recreational purposes, don't take any more adderall than you would take w/o the seroquel... the seroquel will obviously mitigate some of the effects (as adderall causes more dopamine to be released and seroquel, among other things, antagonizes the d2 receptor).
I currently take 25 mg of seroquel at night and 15 mg of adderall xr in the morning, and the combination is fantastic. But take that with a grain of salt, b/c everyone's physiology is different. In that respect, this question is kind of like "how many lines of coke should you snort with 6 beers?" It can't be answered without a lot more information.
Seroquel mainly antagonizes the d2 receptor of the brain. ADHD which adderall treats mainly has threaputic affects through the d4 receptor which seroquel has minimal affinity. Your seroquel shouldn't affect the effects of adderall so your normal dose should do fine maybe a 5 mg increase might help if you're taking a particularly high dose of seroquel
What if you took 90 mg of Adderall?
I think you mean milli (0.001) grams not mega (1000000) grams. 60 milli grams per day is the max dosage. Overdose may cause:
* Hyperactivity (trouble sitting still) * Rapid breathing * Confusion * Seizures * Fever * Muscle pains * Shakiness * Aggressiveness * Hallucinations * Death
Don't take anymore than your doctor prescribes. Don't ever take more than 60mg. A dosage of more than 60mg will not be pleasant!!! PS I'm not a doctor so double check with a doctor all my fact and figures before acting on them!!!
What are adderall withdrawal symptoms?
Everywhere I have looked, it says moodiness and fatigue-which I can assure you is true. But I can't find anyone that says what I am going through. The first two days, I just slept. I woke up to eat, then went back to sleep. Now I've gotten off a couple times, so I know what to expect. Today is day three- and I have been up since 3 a.m. with severe cramps, chills, hot flashes and diarrhea. This is the day I dread... The cramps are so bad I cry and moan. It is identical to labor pain for me. Don't wanna scare anyone else, because I am the only person I know that goes through this kind of withdrawal pain. Please let me know if you can relate or if you know what to do to stop the pain.
Can a employer fire you for taking Adderall?
No, or atleast you shouldn't be.
NO, if you are legally prescribed this medication and were fired you would have recourse under discrimination laws, you may be subject to re-assignment within your workplace if their is safety issues for either yourself or others-running machinery or forklift driving for example.
Can you take 45 mg of adderall xr?
Answer: Now I'm kind of unsure as to what exactly you are asking here.... If you are asking is there such thing as a dosage that is exactly 45 mg in one pill of Adderall XR, than no(there is only 5,10,15,20,25,and 30 mg of Adderall XR) If you are asking if you can take 45mg of Adderall XR recreationally (without a prescription or to get high) then sure you could....if you want a heart attack. Starting out at 45mg especially on Adderall XR is like asking for cardiac arrest. The most I have done is 30mg, and that will make your heart pop out of your chest.((Note: I have Adderall prescribed to me ))Its the highest recommend dosage although some doctors prescribe two different dosages (for example 30mg and 5 mg, or 30mg and 10 mg.) That however is really uncommon, but who knows they give Adderall out to kids like candy. Now if your doctor has given you a prescription for 45 mg of Adderall (like 30mg, and 15mg together) then I'm pretty sure you can take it. Again, if its not prescribed to you than please do not try it. It is a pretty cheap high considering the damages it can cause through addiction and withdrawal. hope this helps, Megan. *******
What happens if you combine Strattera and Adderall?
For common drug interactions, visit: http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html There, you can "plug in" different drugs and find out if there are any known interactions. You really need to ask a pharmacist to be sure. Don't gamble with drugs, drug combinations or your health. Call your local drug store. They'll be glad to assist. ~ T
How can you get adderall out of your system within 24 hours?
Typical "piss cleansers" (i.e. ReadyClean) should work...albeit, short term. Don't do it if you didn't get it legally.
How long does a 30 mg Adderall capsule stay in a human urine system?
for like 30 days hence the 30 mgs trust me im a scientest
Can Adderall make ADHD symptoms worse?
That being said prolonged use of the medications could cause issues for those without ADHD, as they would be operating with higher than average levels of these neurotransmitters. Any time you are forcing your body to operate in a way that it isn't intended to, you run a risk. ADHD patients taking this medication are in a different category however. In these patients the medication normalizes these neurotransmitters.
Think about it like this. You have two people, one of which has a normal metabolism and the other has a very high metabolism. If they both go out to a restaurant, the one with the high metabolism has to eat more to be full and keep their body fueled and running optimally. The person with the normal metabolism wouldn't want to eat as much as their friend, as they would become overweight. Someone with ADHD needs to medication to regulate their neurotransmitters and keep their mind running optimally. Someone without ADHD taking this medication doesn't need this help, so the medication could cause damage to their system.
i think its possible, because excessive amounts of dopamine burn out other cell receptors, leading to cell loss, and eventual brain damage, making it even harder to concentrate and focus later in life. dopamine is needed to focus, but taking a medication to stimulate dopamine activity is not natural, and it will do more bad then good, in the long run. its this: If your house is cold, would you burn the furniture in your house, to make it warm? not that im against medication, its just that there are always other options to solving a problem.
I started taking stimulant medication since I was in 8'th grade. My senior year I started taking too much of it because I wanted to prevent the emotional down that happens when it wears off. My doctor got scared that I would start abusing it, or that I aleady was, so she has been taking me off of it slowly since then. By my third year in college I was almost completely off of adderall. My life was more awful the less I took, because I no longer knew how to deal with having ADD symptoms. I have just got a new doctor and am going back onto adderall again. I'm not sure if my ADD is worse. I don't think it is but I could be wrong. I think it's just that I'm not used to having to contain and control the problems that come with having ADD. If I hadn't taken the medication until now, I would have probably learned how to deal with my symptoms better than I am able today. Some people even say that you can train your brain to not even have symptoms, expecially during your youth. (Biofeedback might help with training your brain as well). By taking pills that took away my ADD problems, I didn't have to learn meathods of dealing, and I didn't have to train my brain. Thus I missed out on making my ADD better. But I don't think the ADD is any worse than it used to be; I just have to re-learn selfrestraint. I also don't think that you could ever train your brain completely to have no ADD problems. My boyfriend has ADD but was never given medication for it. While he can deal with his ADD better than I could right now off my pills, his symptoms by no means have disapeared. Plus I have met several adults who have never gotten treatment and are still haveing big problems. If I could do it all again I would have taken stimulants even earlier in life. It has turned my life around. Stimulants have enabled me to preform better in school. For the first time in my life I actually got A's and B's. I started taking better care of myself because they motivated me to be more productive. I don't know if I could have ever made it into college if I didn't have adderall or other stimulants. When I have the right medication, I can major in anything I want--even subjects that require a lot of work. Otherwise I would have to major in something that didn't require a lot of attention, like art, or hospitality management. One of my friends who has not received any treatment was trying a difficult major and he is now 26 and only a junior because he has had to repeat classes. He is not dumb at all; he just can't concentrate on anything. I learned from doctors that people who don't treat ADD also can have problems with depression too, which I have seen examples of in some of my friends with ADD. If you are willing to be on medication for maybe even your whole life, it would definitely improve your life. If you are not willing and you still take meds, when you come off your meds, it will be a lot harder to deal with it than it would have been. However, you would have the benefit of having a more productive life for the period that you were on meds.
I've been taking either Ritalin or Dexedrine for 15 years. My ADD isn't worse. I've had more symptoms of old age pop in, but going from age 35 to 50 would account for being more tired now and more forgetful as well. After all those years, if something dastardly was going to happen, it would have by now. I know life without stimulant medication would not be worth living.
ummmmmm it would probably be inappropriate for me to answer this question in my immediate condition considering circa 40 minutes ago i just tossed up my container of dexies and hit a home run with my skateboard and watched those orange grommits go flying into the gulch outside my apartment. If my math is correct i am currently peaking from my last dose of orangemen that i took at 12:00 (it is 2:08 PST). I have been taking the short acting dexidrine 3 times a day since a week after graduating high school. i am currently a sophomore in college. my life since high school in three hundred million ways has been three hundred million times different. if my life ended today there would be no doubt i would consider the last 15 or so months to be the most prolific era of my life. I did AMAZING things. Now this is not to say that these are some miracle drug, i also tried sooooooo much harder and dreamed sooooooo much bigger than i ever had. im not exactly sure what went wrong, it went wrong, or if something actually did go wrong. there are soo many ways to look at things, and i can't choose one. All i know is i couldn't hang anymore with my current situation and so i just chucked them. My testimony cannot be taken as anything close to a standard or ordinary case however. I did not go about getting treated in an orthodox way by any means. when i was diagnosed with ADD i didn't even know what to think. I took it pretty acceptingly, and i was pretty much the only one. None of my friends really beleived me or even believed in ADD. None of them even do now. I don't think anybody beleives in ADD, and they've got me wondering if i even believe in it. In retrospect, you probably shouldn't take much from this testimony, i probably shouldn't even have written it. Perhaps i shall come back in a few weeks and edit it once i have undergone the grave magnitude of imminent change resulting from my recent actions. I have to go to class.
ANSWER
It can be harder to accept ADD once it's treated. To experience ADD on a practical daily basis in is for the most part bull. 'Cut me a break from all the bunch of stupid crap going on all at once inside making everything complicated. I'm riding a bus. I just want to do this most simple routine but within seconds of silence I'll have a s-load of crap fill into my bucket about what i'm gona do next or what I'm gona do if I can't figure out what I'm gona do next or how I'm thinking about what and everything else all bunched that,
It's hard to not to wish for an easy way
to ride as simple as the wave
