What are the side effects of mixing ibuprofen Ritalin and Adderall?
Ritalin and Adderall will do essentially the same thing. The ibuprofen shouldn't do any harm, but I wouldn't recommend mixing Ritalin with Adderall. If you want a more intense response to the medication you should only use one of the two, maybe double your dosage if you want.
Can you take Ritalin and benzodiazepines?
The answer is YES and NO. They are two different drugs. Ritalin works on dopamine to make it stay for a longer period of time. Hence increase mental alertness, memory, no fatigue, increase concentration, euphoria, increase libido. On the other hand Xanax works on GABA receptors which partly relieves anxiety and is a short acting sedative too. So if both taken in combination the result can be excellent as well as disastrous. excellent in a sense that xanax cops with the adverse effects of Ritalin such as inc. heart rate, anxiety, insomnia etc. And disastrous in a sense that you are playing games with your brain. on one hand you are telling it to slow down while on the other you are wipping it to run faster than normal. Do the math!
Get advice from M.D!
Whats the question? Yes you spelt those to completely different compounds correctly...? I'm assuming You're asking if there is an interaction between the two when taken simutaneously?...In that case, from my experience, yes alchol can potentiate adderall. This obviously depends on how much of each you take. Higher amounts of either will incresse the side effects and potentiating. Its not a good idea, but as for having a beer after a days work on adderall? I'd say its fine, you'll notice alcohol like adderall changes your psychological perception or temporarily elevates your mood. So mixing the two irresponsibly simply makes you feel very drunk/abnoxious and very energetic. Eventually leading to abnormal or uncontrolled behavior, especially when coming down from one or the other compounds, you will get very aggressive, angry, and perhaps say things you will wish you hadn't said. Not advised. Moderation is key. gd lck
How do you get Ritalin out of your system?
To eliminate Ritalin (methylphenidate) from your system, the most effective approach is to stop taking the medication, as it naturally metabolizes and is excreted by the body over time. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet can support the body's natural detoxification processes. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication regimens, as they can provide guidance tailored to your individual health needs.

In a normal blood test will Ritalin show up if you are taking it?
No it is a drug prescribed for numerous things and is different to other drunks (amphetamines or methamphetamine) which will show up on a drug test. Ritalin is not usally tested for however if the person issuing the test wants to it can be tested.
Do methadone clinics test for Ritalin?
Most would say that they wouldn't considering the cost it would take for such a test. I was reading a comment b4 about a guy that was doing it over a year n always getting tested at his clinic and never had a worry. So I would say no. Besides, I wouldn't think they'd bother a healthy muscle guy considering most people I see at my clinic I go to looking all skinny and nasty! Lol
Do they test for Ritalin in a 5 panel drug test?
Yes and No. There are two things to consider. The first is TIME and the second is CHEMICAL COMPOSITION.
Chemically, I think it does. First, according to this advertisement
http://www.meditests.com/mulurtesopco.HTML
THC (marijuana), Cocaine (Crack), Methamphetamine (Ecstasy), Amphetamine, and Opiates (Morphine/vicodin/percocet/heroin/prescription pain killers/etc.) all show up on the five panel drug test.
While Ritalin is not actually methamphetamine or amphetamine, it IS methylphenidate. Methylphenidate "looks" a lot like amphetamine AND cocaine (benzoylmethylecogine) The test probably tests for the metabolites of aromatic compounds, rather than the actual presence of these drugs in your system (unless you get a blood test). My guess is that if the substances are similar in nature to begin with, then they probably get degraded to common compounds. Which means, it probably would show up if you took enough of the drug. Just what is "enough" depends upon how much you weight, where that weight comes from (sorry fatties, but drugs like living in the extra non-polar lipid bundles around your waist), how active you are, and MOST IMPORTANTLY,
TIME!
Ritalin gets metabolized beyond therapeutic efficacy within 24 hours. It's virtually all out of your system after 48 hours, and if you go the distance...say 96 hours, it's fully out of your system. No doubt.
There is no actual way to "fail" or "pass" a drug test. It all depends upon what your employer/drug officer/wife..don't ask is concerned about. If you say you take Ritalin to help with school, chances are they won't get too concerned with a positive test for amphetamines. That said, don't be stupid and smoke weed and think you can get away with it just because you take Ritalin. That's completely different.
Lastly, if you're still concerned, call the drug testing company up, pretend to be an employer who wants to drug test an employee who you think is abusing Ritalin, and ask if they are able to detect it, and if so, say "the employee doesn't work Friday-Sunday, but they're "over the top" on Monday" and that you've heard them discuss abusing drugs with other employees, etc. fill in the blanks. hope this helps.
How does methylphenidate interact with nortriptyline?
I have been taking 15mg of Methylphenidate twice each day for the past 18 months. It is for Adult ADHD. I am 59 years old. I have no general history of drug abuse other than having smoke pot and heavy drinking when I was a kid.
From time to time I have taken more Methylphenidate (up to 30mg) per dose and/or taken a third dose during the day. To me it seems 15mg does the job and when I take 20 or 25mg per dose it just gets me a bit reved up. The regular dose of 15mgX2 gives me the "enthusiasm" I need to get through the day.
Just now I started taking Nortriptyline 25mg twice a day for a pinched nerve in my neck. It is supposed to help with nerve pain. I can't say it relieves the pain but it somehow makes it feel different... less intense.
Overall, I am concerned with the combination of the two drugs. One is actually a stimulant, the other an anti-depressant. You'd think they'd work against each other.
I find... after two weeks... that the combination makes me feel quite well as it pertains to ADHD... plenty of focus, no anxiety. Nothing noticed as to adverse side effects.... BP low/normal. Appetite normal.
What happens if you snort metadate CD 40 mg?
I just tried it for the for the time and I feel pretty good however I did about 90mg. Ill tell you more later once I expierment more. Pretty much all ADD and ADHD meds can get you high excpt for Vyvanse which could, but is VERY dangerous because you have to take a f*** ton by mouth, snorting it wont work. Anti-anxcity meds aalso have high potential for abuse, the high is pretty kick a**. Just look up symptoms of what these meds treat and tell your doctor you've been haveing them.
Take your methylphenidate (ritalin) and crush it up into a very fine powder. 20 mg is suggested, though 10 works too.
Put this onto a 5'' by 5'' sheet of foil in a line.
Put an equal line of baking soda onto the foil.
Put just a FEW drops of water onto this powder mixture, just enough for it to be damp.
Swirl mixture in a circle over foil.
Let it dry for a few minutes. If you put too much water, it will take longer to dry.
Put a lighter underneath, get a tube to inhale the smoke coming from the dry powedered circle, and inhale slowly, as the smoke is harsh.
Work your way around the circle, and enjoy!
It produces a high similar to crack, but with less euphoria. It makes 10 mg feel like snorting 30 mg.
That's why they call it "kiddy crack"!
How does profiderall compare to Adderall?
PROFIDERALL is what's called a Cognitive Energy Enhancer. It is a new category of supplements that are designed to increase focus, concentration, and energy like Adderall... but without a prescription. It is great as a smart drung, but isn't designed to be an alternative to ADD/ADHD treatment.

Is it safe to take Ritalin and Prozac together?
Yes Ritalin and Prozac (fluoxetine) work in very different ways and are able to be taken together, I take both of them to help with both ADHD and depression and there are no side effects from taking them both simultaniously.
What is Ritalin used to treat?
Ritalin is the most widely known brand-name for methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.

Can you overdose on Ritalin if you sniff it?
When Ritalin is sniffed it is similar to taking it orally except it is stronger and lasts for a shorter amount of time, it creates more of a high than taking more than you need orally but does not last as long.
Adderall, Adderall XR, it's generic equivalent D-Amphetamine salt combo or "mixed amphetamine salts", and the rest of the ADHD stimulant type medications all fall into the DEA Schedule 2, or CII. They are heavily regulated, not able to be refilled without a new RX and must be stored separately from other medications and other controlled substances. Hope that helps you out.
Is it illegal to snort your Ritalin?
Only if the drug itself is illegal. If the drug is legal, a prescription for that specific must be in hand There are only recomendations on how to take them and they are intened as such
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.
