My son who is 13teen takes Losartan 50mg twice a day for high blood pressure. Now the doctor is putting him on Intuniv 1mg. I was Intuniv can make my son pressure drop or his heart rate should I be worry. ## What are his current blood pressure readings? Learn more Intuniv details here. What should really be done here, if he's being placed on Intuniv, is his blood pressure and heart rate levels should be monitored regularly. Do you have a home monitor for him? Additionally, you should know for the signs you need to watch for that may show that his blood pressure or heart rate are dropping too low. They may include severe drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

hi, i moved to afghanistan recently and i was wondering are there any reliable online pharmacies that ship concerta (or ritalin) worldwide? ## My husband took both of these while overseas and we could not find anyone who would ship them I had to hid them and send them in boxes of goodies to him with his care packages. he took Concerta 18mg and now Ritalin 20mg neither seem to be the right dosage for him. but i hope i answered your question ## Yes, it really depends on the countries important laws for medications and I do not know what they are. Concerta is a stimulant used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy, this it is strictly controlled and regulated in many countries. Have you tried seeing if a doctor can prescribe it there? ## Hi! I have a prescription for Concerta, but because I'm no...

My 7 year old son is taking Methylphenid 20mgs ER TAB MAL and he has lost considerable weight and isnt hungry anymore. I am very concerned about his weight and I do not like him taken this medication. He doesnt seem like the same when hes on it. ## Loss of appetite, is listed as a common side effect of Methylphenidate. Have you tried any other treatment options outside of Methylphenidate for ADHD? If anything, I would really watch his diet, since a lot of these processed foods seem to have an unbalancing effect on energy levels and mental acuity throughout the day. Answering questions like this can be difficult because I am not insinuating on how to raise your child properly, but I would recommend a diet high in fresh raw fruits and vegetables along with some lean protein sources in rep...

I am currently on urbanol, 1 tablet in the morning. I have just been put on concerta as well, also 1 tablet in the morning. Would these 2 tablets not contradict each other as the 1 is a tranquiliser and the other a stimulant. How would I take them, and which 1 should be taken first. ## Hi Sharon, Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Urbanol and Concerta. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. That said, there shouldn't be any issues taking these two drugs at the same time. As far as a dosing schedule goes, the order in which you take them also should not be a factor, since they have no interactions with each other. It then becomes a ma...

Take adderall 30 in am 15 in pm have had a severe head sweating problem last few months wonder if anyone else has had this problem? ## Have you looked into having an exam and any testing done to see why this is happening? There is a chance that it's just a side effect of the medication, but there is also a possibility that it could be due to something more serious, such as it causing an elevation or your heart rate and blood pressure, which could be dangerous, so this really does need to be checked out.

my son's brain is fiaring to fast for his body and speach and our dr suggested that he use epitec 25mg twice a day (he is 9 years old). Our dr thought that this would work better than ritalin. would you agree and what are the warning signs i need to look out for. ## What do you mean by saying that it is firing too fast? I'm sorry, but I am not sure I understand. Epitec contains the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which is an anticonvulsant medication that has also been shown to be effective in some people as a mood stabilizer. Learn more Lamotrigine details here. ## How they described it was, that his brain is working at the pace of a 13 year old. his attention span is not very long. our dr said that he didnt want to put him on ritalin as that would affect his moods and that is w...

I've been taking Amphetamine Salts 30mg for about 2 years, this had been great for the depression but it sur- pressed my appetite and effected my taste buds so drastically, I had no interest in food whatsoever. Then my physician suggested concerta ER, but that didn't seem to do much for my depression. ## Well neither of them are actual antidepressants, they are actually stimulant medications that are normally used to treat conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy. Learn more Amphetamine Salts details here. Learn more Concerta details here. So, it's normal for them to cause appetite suppression, but they don't usually help much with depression, because they can cause irritability, so that will actually backfire in some people. Have you tried any actual antidepressants?

Looking for a Dr. That easily prescribes adderral. I am having difficulty with concentrating and staying focused. ## Adderall contains mixed Amphetamine salts, so it's actually a controlled substance and, due to the new laws being enforced, no doctors are being that liberal with it anymore. You will need testing to confirm whether or not you are ADHD and then will have to proceed from there, if you are, to find a medication that works for you. Learn more Adderall details here. Do you currently have a regular doctor?

The 1/2 that I found has an O then a line under it and then a 2 under the O and the line. the 2nd halh where it would have the rest of the letters, or the zero to the 2 is broken off. the back is blank. any guesses??? i wondering if its generic ritalin or adderall ## Throw it out! Why bother guessing? Your body is not a garbage can. ## You can find out what the name of any drug is by going to any of the medication sites such as Webmd and RXdrugs they have a pill identifier and you just need to put in the numbers or letters on the pill even generic and OTC. It is most useful.

pill is round and orange. on one side it says b and the other side it says 953 a line and 10 underneath. Are these barr 10mgs dextroamphetamine ## Based on the description provided, I can confirm your round orange pill to be Dextroamphetamine sulfate (10 mg); manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA. Dextroamphetamine sulfate is a psychostimulant drug approved for the treatment of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

My 18 yr old daughter got a prescript. for the above med and has never had ADHD. I think she told her dr. that she thought she had that, but really wanted it for weight loss and energy. It was filled on 2/1/10 and is now gone. ## Well, you have posted this almost 2 months after it was filled, so I really cannot comment on that, without knowing how large the prescription was, how many tablets were in it. It is a medication that is used daily. Have you tried talking to her about this? That may be the only way to get to the root of the problem, she may genuinely think she has ADHD. ## Did she lose weight? I take desoxyn for adhd and i wish my parents would have believed me, I would have had a better young life.

If im getting a blood test done in 2 months will methamphetamine still show? The last time I used was 2 days ago and I only did very litle ## Methamphetamine can only be detected in your blood for up to 1-3 days after your last dose. So you should definitely be in the clear, even as of now :) I hope this helps!

have any women taken 50 twice a day. Do you find it to be effective ## Hi curt, Are you reffering to 50 mg twice a day? According to the dosing information on the Vyvanse site, the maximum dose that should be taken per day is 70 mg. I highly recommend speaking with a doctor before taking a higher amount.

need coupon for 20mg adderral ## I'm sorry, but this site doesn't manufacture any medications, so this site doesn't have a coupon program for you and I can also tell you that the manufacturer, Shire Pharmaceuticals, does not currently have an assistance program for this medication. If you are on the regular release formulation, have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacy about trying the generic product? There is one available for this, it's called Mixed Amphetamine Salts and is much cheaper than the name brand. Adderall can cause some side effects, such as: nausea, headache, insomnia and anorexia.
