Looking for a GP who is open to prescribing adderall for my ADHD in the Denver area? ## Hi, Milania! How are you? Have you already been prescribed Adderall or is it just that you want to try it? In most cases, due to new restrictions that have been put in place, they will want to refer you to a specialist for ongoing treatment, rather than allow you to continue receiving it from your GP. Do you currently have a doctor that you're seeing? ## Hi Verwon, I do not have a doctor that I am currently seeing for it. It is something that I would like to discuss as an option and see if it helps but do not have mental health covered in my insurance. I heard from a few people that ADHD is mild enough where most general practitioners feel comfortable prescribing / treating it so a psych might no...

I usually use CVS, but the pharmacist told me that their wholesaler does not carry Zenzedi. Those who take this medication, what pharmacy do you use? The only mom and pop pharm in my town said it was too expensive to order, but that chains that use a certain wholesaler different than the one CVS uses would be able to get it. I am not asking about (the vastly inferior, IME) various generics of dextroamphetamine IR. Been there, hated it. Zenzedi 15 mgs works for my ADHD-C and narcolepsy the way brand-name Adderall IR used to when it was manufactured by Shire, before it was taken off patent and the original formula changed. I am having similar trouble finding brand name Dexedrine Spansules (manufactured by Amedra and Amneal). I do not find the generic by Actavis/Teva supplied by all the ph...

Where can I find a Doctor in Denver who will communicate with me about Adderall? I’ve been on Adderall for over 15 years. It was a Godsend!! A Psychiatrist did my testing, was put on 15 mg. I welcomed therapy to go along with it. I have had three different Psychiatrists (moved twice), each kept up with me. Here I am in Denver, CO and for six months nothing. I’m 73 and my life feels like someone pulled the rug right out from under me. Quality of life isn’t good. I really need the name of a good Psychiatrist, therapist and group therapy. I’m in my head too much and it scares me. I can’t focus, optimism is fading, and I feel like I’m banging my head against the wall getting nowhere. Thank You, Best Regards ## My answer kind of depends on your income and ...

I normally get my perscription for my Adderall 20mg Tab filled at Walgreens. They said the warehouse sends them whatever they choose (Barr or Teva) which I am allergic to. I have ADD and my mind just is racing as I have been without my medicine, I have tried those other brands and immediaetly hives break out and massive headache. How can I find a solution to this? I dont know why us patients have to be caught up and or dictated to whatever a warehouse chooses. ## I've also suffered odd reactions to some medications, so I understand what you're going through. It really sucks. However, you aren't actually stuck with what their warehouse dictates, because you do have the option of going to a different pharmacy. You don't have to use Walgreens. I know it may not be as conven...

I took many in the late 60's and early 70's. They were effective, very clean, and probably methamphetamine hydrochloric salts. They were very small tablets. Later on, around 1976 or so they started using caffeine, so that ended that drugs realm and into the methaqualone era that took many, many good people from this Earth. ## I'm surprised that they don't manufacture this medication illegally instead of methampetamine. I would never consider taking amptetamines, but I did take white cross pills to help me get through late night studying. ## I suppose if methamphetamine is the primary ingredient in white cross energy pills, then these drug manufacturers probably assume that they don't need to manufacture anything but methamphetamine and just be straightforward with th...

Pharmacy recently switched me to new generic brand (blue capsule) of adderall XR. I have never seen this brand and I don't feel like it is effective. I lack concentration and focus, recurring symptoms of ADHD. Anyone else experience this? ## There can be some slight fluctuations in the amount of active ingredient in generic medications. The FDA considers these fluctuations to be acceptable therapeutic windows, but some people are more sensitive than others and experience problems with any slight change in their medication. Learn more Adderall details here. If you have insurance, you could try asking your doctor to prescribe it as 'brand medically necessary' so your insurance will cover it and you won't experience such fluctuations in the future, or your can try asking yo...

I am hearing that Walgreens is putting a 24-48 hour hold on my ADHD Medication, Adderall. Are the rumors of an Adderall shortage true? If I could afford Vyvanse I would prefer to be prescribed them, but I can't. I have been getting the generic Adderall for over two years now and I was prescribed them 20 years ago in High School. I am curious to know if it is true and why? If my date on my script is the day of fill, why would I have to wait an extra one or two days without them? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? Have you actually been told this by someone in the Walgreen's pharmacy or is it just a rumor you've heard? I haven't heard anything about this and see no reason for them to do so, unless they have to order the medication in, or contact the doctor to ensure that it'...

I have been taking generic Adderall, Amphetamine salts but yesterday when filling my prescription it says now Amphetamine not Amphetamine salts and I feel freaky weird. I have been taking this drug for years and since I took the one with salts yesterday and the one without today I am sure about this not being the same. Can anyone help me find out if there is anything that can be done? Can I call the pharmacy and have them give me the one with salts? I'm not exagerating at all, this Amphetamine without salts is freaking me out. ## What state do you live in? How do the pills look like? Are they different are similar to the Amphetamine? What does it say on your prescription bottle? It seems like you may have gotten desoxyn? Was your original script for Adderall?? Does it say sub for ad...

I was wondering if Valium is considered an Amphetamine? ## No, Valium is a benzodiazepine that is most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. ## Those are two total opposite kinds of drugs.

Ive taken Dexadrine tabs for a couple years. The price is now too much for me too afford. No inssurance. My Dr. gave me Rittalin but it is NOT as effective as Dexadrine. Any suggestions? ## Hi Brun, If you don't mind me asking, were you using the Dexadrine for ADHD? If so there are actually lots of natural/homeopathic alternatives to medications like Dexadrine and Ritalin. I'll link you to a few pages that offer more information on natural alternatives. :) hellolife.net/synaptol/natural%20alternatives%20to%20adhd livestrong.com/article/27959-natural-alternatives-ritalin/ ehow.com/list_5461293_natural-alternatives-ritalin.html I hope this helps! ## Go to Walgreens.

Most of the post I'm reading are blasting the teva generic. I have tried core pharma's 30mg round pink tablets, and yes the ingredients are different between the two manufacturers, teva and core pharma. I've taken ADD medicine for six years and can tell you they are different. If it's hard for you to get up and get your day started try core pharma. If your up and in a slump and it's around 4pm take teva and you'll notice exactly what your supposed to notice. Teva is pure relaxation and focus where core pharma is harsh and cortisol inducing. Very hard to sleep on core pharma. Try taking half the tablet and be sure to eat good quality carbs with your ADD medicine. The body can't motivate without ample glucose. We are ADD because most of us have issues with the ...

Within the last year, I have noted a subtle but noticeable change with Teva's 30MG Adderall. The tablet is clearly smaller (in proportion) than it was before 2015 with slightly less potency. ## The size really depends on the excipients they choose to use in it, more commonly known as the inactive ingredients. A manufacturer can chance them, at any given time, which could naturally alter the size of a tablet. As to the potency, what types of changes have you noticed, when taking the Adderall? How long have you been taking this dosage? It is normal for your body to get used to the dosage of a medication, and with time, it will stop working as well for you. Adderall carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, i...

Has anyone had the chance to try Azstarys yet? Ive heard VERY postive reviews but also very new prodrug stimulant so not alot out here besides from the company and some reviews from people? Heard it works faster, more smooth for the entire day. No appetite suppression or anger issues just complete focus the entire day. From the scientists that invented Vyvanse which he stated is more harsh of a stimulant, compared to Azstarys prodrug. Anyone that can review it and let me know if its that great would love to hear some honest feedback. Cheers ## The effects of any medication will always vary from person to person, since we are all different. One person may experience all the worst side effects possible, while someone else may find it works wonders for them, without causing a single negati...

What is the usual dose in mg for a 6 year old? ## Hi Jeanne, As a psychotherapist and a holistic practitioner and the mother of two toddlers I wan to reply to your comment from a different angle. I am guessing that asking about Focolin Xr for your 6 year old has tod do with being told he/she has ADHD. If so, please be careful about giving such powerful drug to a child. The medical community still does not know the long term effects of many of these drugs on the brains of children. In fact, the whole diagnosis of ADHD and ADD is questionable. There could be many other factors attributing to your child's symptoms and I would want to encourage you to look into those other areas and see if you can help your child with out turning to drugs right away. I am a strong advocate of keeping ou...

I'm needing my Adderall refilled but I'm in Matamoros, Mexico. Could you give me the correct names of it here? ## Regardless of the trade name, the generic name (Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine) should be universal. Here is the Spanish translation: Anfetamina y Dextroanfetamina The name Adderall is also so commonly known that I'm under the impression pharmacies would instantly know what you're talking about. However, it does not have a Spanish term (as far as I can tell); only the generic name does. Anyone else have feedback on this? ## What is the cost to fill Adderall in Mexico?

My question is what drug on the market mocks the same exact structure as SKF 10 mg dextroamphetamine sulfate, as it was in the 60s 70s orange heart shape? Can you help? ## I'm not a chemist, but my research suggests that a company by the name of GlaxoSmithKline reportedly makes 10mg Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulfate ER) with a National Drug Code of 0007-3513. Please note however, that this information was last updated/revised in 2007. The characteristics of the pill are described as a clear brown capsule with the following imprint: "10;mg;3513;10;mg;SB" as represented by NIH.gov It also reportedly contains the following list of inactive ingredients: cetyl alcohol D & C Yellow No. 10 dibutyl sebecate ethylcellulose FD & C Blue No. 1 FD & C Blue No. 1 aluminum l...

Got orange round Adderall 30 mg tablets with U31 on them but I am 99.9% POSITIVE just on size alone that they are fake.

I'm not sure what else to do but keep taking them. Rite Aid told me I can't return it or anything and I need something to concentrate. I apparently have to wait until my next prescription.
