I was wondering if there was prescription assistance of ANY sort for Adderall ## Hi Ashley, Apparently Shire Pharmaceuticals patient assistance program is not available at this time, according to: patientassistance.com/profile/shirepharmaceuticals. I would however suggest contacting Shire Pharmaceuticals program directly to inquire about other services that may be available through a separate company, via their contact page Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you to help you find what you're looking for!

I took one 20 mg aderhal on Thursday will I pass my saliva test on Monday ## It's rather difficult to say, Adderall contains mixed amphetamine salts and they are usually detectable in a saliva test for about 5 days, after last dosing. However, it can vary from person to person, depending on your metabolism, overall health, activity levels and etc. Learn more Adderall details here. Are there any other questions or comments?

So I have add. I've have been diagnosed with add on three seperate ocasions over the past 25 years. Now I'm in my mid 30's and just could not do the "drug free" route any longer. My doctor perscribe Vyvanse and to me it was like a miracle,,,at first. My doctor warned me of the euphoria like feeling at the begining and he was right and it subsided over the next few days. She started me off almost from the begining with 60mg (2 or 3 days of 30mg then wanted me to double). So realitively quickly I noticed a "crash" in the early afternoon. When this happens I'm actually way worse then before I started taking vyvanse. After a roller coater of a ride over the last month or so of trying to find what is right for me, I really came to the conclusion of either figu...

Difference between hypercon and strattera . ## the suppliers say that hypercon is a generic version of strattera but no-one else supplies it . however I have also received axepta as a generic version and that is available from several suppliers . ## I've noticed several posts about it, but I can't even find anything listed under the name Hypercon, or any information on it. Does anyone know anything specific about it?

I recently left the US (Michigan) and came to the UK to study abroad. The term is less than 6 months so I cannot have the universal health care over here. My pharmacy told me that they would be able to ship my Vyvanse (30mg) over here, but now they are telling me that they can't. My parents tried sending it through the mail, but it was stopped at UK customs. I don't know what I can do. I thought about seeing if my health insurance from the US would pay for a visit to a UK doctor and for a prescription of Dexedrine or something (Vyvanse hasn't been approved over here yet), but even if I did that, I'd probably have to be rediagnosed with ADHD. Can anyone think of any way I can get out of this? There's no way I'm going to be able to pass my classes if I have to go t...

Hello, im 19 and was prescribed with vyvanse starting at 30 mg. The first couple days I felt more motivated, optimistic and less scrambled and depressed. But I noticed as I moved up in dosage that the drug didn't last as long as I was told. I was then prescribed 5 mg of adderall for a boost during my day, it works some days but not consistently. What can i do to make my medication last longer? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Are you also making sure to take your medication at the same time each day, without missing any doses? What do you drink, when you take them? What type of foods do you eat?

I am on Cymbalta, Lamictal and Adderral, I never experienced depression on this drug before. I took it a few years ago and stopped. Recently restarted it. Confuse as to what is causing the depression. ## Have you consulted your doctor? There are many things that can cause depression and only your doctor will be able to help you get to the root of the problem. What dosage of the Cymbalta do you take and how long have you been taking it?

hey so I am 17 year old and i had my first time using vyvance today. My friend gave me about 3\4 of a 50 mg pill and i took it at 8:30 pm in school. For the first 4 hours i was extremly motivated to do work and happy.I knew exactly what was going on in my class and felt incredibly social. Even though i was feeling good i felt a little weird and had little energy rushes every once in a while. By 2 pm , i was starting to feel nervous and could really feel my heart beating fast. At the time, i was taking a test and had to ask my teacher to go to the nurses because i thought i was going to pass out and something was not normal. At the nurses my blood pressure dramatically increased and i got this weird feeling of numbness and little light pins on my arms and legs. Also, i felt like i was sa...

My 15 year old son has been on some form of stimulants since he was in the 1st grade. He is currently on 70 mg vyvanse. We are trying to get him off of it, but he is having really bad withdrawals so much that it interfering with his school work. Should we try giving him 30mg or is that too low a dose after 50. Any suggestions? ## Tapper him down, if you have the capsules an hes on 70mg's, start by cutting the capsule in half and power the powder on the table, now split it into 7ths and give him 6/7ths of it for 3 days then after those 3 days give him 5/7ths and etc... ## Have you consulted his doctor for assistance? After being on these types of medications for such a long period of time, a slow taper is definitely the safest and easiest way to go. However, it is going to be very di...

Medicare wants to switch me from provigil 200 mg once/day, which I have been taking to establish a sleep pattern successfully for 4 years, and replace it with methylphenidate. WIll it perform the same? ## Provigil contains the active ingredient Modafinil and Methylphenidate is a stimulant, but they are used to treat the same conditions. The only way, however, to tell if it will work for you is to actually try it. You may experience side effects, such as: nausea, headache, irritability and insomnia. Read more: Are there any comments or questions? ## Thank you for the info. It appears that Methylidate is basically, Ritalin. I noticed that the medication's half life is 24 hours, SO, if I take this in the morning to deal with Narcolepsy, and I plan on sleeping 16 hours later, it may cau...

My job requires my presence, during 3-6 month/year- I'm living in Swiss, where i take Ritalin 30 mg LA, prescribed by ny Doc. There is a solution to get: or something safe to by there, Or i can take with me what i need (1 x 100 pls.), from Swiss? with a prenscription? Thanks a lot. Alf11 ## Does Ritalin LA 30 mg capsules come in white/tourquise? If not, does anyone know what this pill is in mgs. It has an imprint 120 120? ## @Alfcat65, With your prescription in hand, you should be able to take the medication you need through the airports without worrying. I would however suggest keeping the prescription in the same bag as the medication just to play it safe. Maybe even contact the airport ahead of time to be sure you don't have any problems with security when you arrive. They sh...

I have been injected with steroids 3 times in the last four weeks, I am prescribed 70mg Vyvanse, and 1800 Ibuprofen daily and I have my first pee test on Tuesday with my PO and I am very scared that it will show thc. Is this true and would I still be in trouble even though my PO is well aware of what I am taking? ## Hi Michelle, I can certainly understand your concern for THC showing up on your drug test, since Ibuprofen is known to cause false positives for Marijuana (THC). In my opinion, your best bet would be to reference any articles of information stating that this is in fact a possibility that they should be made aware of. I would also bring copies of your prescription to the lab and even let your PO be made aware of this as well. I think a great resource for false positives is: a...
