So, I took about 60mg Adderall for the first time last night & 30 mg morphine around 8 pm as well. Is there any way I could pass a mouth swab or urine test after three days? ## If I took 15mg of adderall for 3 weeks straight will i pass a drug screen if I stopped 9 days before? ## So on Thursday I took about 7 adderall 20mg xr, then Friday took one 20mg xr.

Will my adderall affect the outcome of the cb1 weight gainer pills? Will it make me loose weight still or will it help me gain weight, even taking both medications? ## It is not likely that you will gain much weight while taking Adderall, even if you add something to help you gain, which you shouldn't do without your doctor's approval. Adderall speeds up your body, ramping up your metabolism, so it can actually cause weight loss, as a side effect, along with dizziness, headaches, and insomnia. The safest and healthiest way to gain weight is by maintaining a proper diet, and exercise program, but even then, some people never gain much weight, their bodies just aren't made to do so. Are you on any other medications?

Is there a liquid form of Focalin, or can the tablet be compounded into a liquid? My son has autism and we cannot get him to take the pills or capsules. He his very orally sensitive and will not eat pudding, applesauce, etc. ## If your doctor orders it for you, a compounding pharmacy should be able to put the active ingredient into a liquid for you, you just need to ask his doctor to order it this way, then take it to your nearest compounding pharmacy. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, insomnia, nervousness, and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took on 20 mg capsule and in a hour nothing happened. Its been about 8 hours now and I'm wondering if i need a bigger dose. When i took nothing happened that people warned me about. I didn't get more focused, i didn't get headaches, and i didn't lose my appetite. Im wondering if i should get a bigger dose or not. Thanks in advance for all your replies. ## Adderall (amphetamine + dextroamphetamine) is a stimulant drug. So I'd imagine you should be experiencing at least a noticeable difference in energy levels. However it is not uncommon for nothing to happen, as medications can and usually do affect everyone differently. Some people get great results, but there are others that it inevitably just doesn't work for no matter how many they take. Unfortunately when i...

its a clear/darkish blue capsule that has the letters/numbers skf n23. it has beads that are redish pink/white & grey and they look just like the beads you would find in an XR Adderall, except not like any color ive ever seen. the lettering Is on the blue side and the clear side, the pill was broken so Im lucky I was able to figure out the pill code @ all but ive searched the entire internet & nothing comes up. the closest thing ive found is ornade & or a type of adderal but there is no image online anywhere, and no pill with this exact mark.

I am in Massachusetts and another adderall shortage, so far it's the 30mg. Manufacturer will not give my pharmacy a date that they can supply. How is a shortage possible, I tried every other drug out there and only adderall works, if I don't take it I cant function at work and will end up loosing my job. ## I am very sorry about the problem you're having. Have you had any luck finding it, yet? Unfortunately, shortages occur almost every year. Each manufacturer is assigned an allotment by the DEA, which is based on the prior years demand for legitimate prescriptions. Once they hit that manufacturing limit, they have to go through a process to request an adjustment to their allotment, and wait to see if it is approved, before they can start manufacturing, again. It should also...

I dropped off my Adderall script 2 days ago and told them to fill it with Teva. I don't care about the cost. My dad picked it up and it's horrible. I've only took 1 pill and have 59 left. What can I do? ## What are the markings on the pills you've received? If you can post back with this information, it would enable someone to research more details for you. As to which companies products they fill it with, unfortunately, that is not usually a choice you have with any given pharmacy. Whichever one they have in stock may depend on who was offering the cheapest price, at the time they needed to restock their supply. Most of them just place orders through their distributor, and they provide medications depending on who they were able to negotiate the cheapest prices with, in...

I was on Adderall XR 30 mg, 3X/day for a long time until all the generics came out with the ineffective fillers and they became ineffective. My doctor then switched me to Ritalin 20 mg, 3X/day. They did help to perk me up. I'm on a heavy dose of morphine thru an infusion pump for chronic pain for almost 10 years. I called the office to tell them about the side effects I was having: INTENSE sweating, ANGER, mood changes. I was told to reduce the script to 1/2 pill in the am and 1/2 in the pm. This was a little too low so I take 1 tablet in the am and 1/2 in the pm. So far, this seems to be working well and the sweating has decreased almost 98%, anger is gone. I think I'll stay here since its working. Has anyone else had issues with Ritalin? ## Those can be normal side effects of ...

The 3 Manufacturers are Mallinkrodt/Methylin, Sandoz and Watson Pharmaceuticals. On this day, December 3,2011 I learned that if a generic drug is back ordered in lots of different Pharmacies our HMO's will pay for the drug that is prescribed. All who are prescribed Methylphenidate 20 mg. are being turned away by CVS, RiteAid, including the pharmacies in some Giant food stores . If you are prescribed both forms of this drug do not let the Pharmacist fill one part of your prescriptions and if both are on 1 prescription sheet never trust anyone to complete the refill. They'll fill the one they have and as far as the other part, you lose! ## Finally my pharmacy failure has been explained. I went to my CVS Pharmacy and Talked with the manager about the crisis of this back order defen...

I'm not sure of the color but I believe it is a light yellow. ## Based on your description, I located the pill to be a 20 mg Methylphenidate HCL tablet. And yes, the pill color is a light yellow. Methylphenidate is the most commonly prescribed psychostimulant and is indicated in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and narcolepsy. To view information about this drug, please click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## I have ADHD and narcolepsy. Dr won’t give me a refill of Provigil because I found out I have bipolar a few months ago. I get it because I need to be awake during the day for my kids and asleep at night.

What happened? Oh, no... I am f+#*ed. Went to Walgreens to fill dextroamph rx tonight. Instead of approx. $75 they said for me with self-pay it's $355+!!!! This is for ONE month. No way I can afford it! Suddenly? What the _ do I do? Taper down with the 2 more days of pills that I have? So, you just blow, they are saying to me. Just be sick, and here, we'll make it so you're much, much sicker!!! Are all the pharmacies going to have the same astronomical price hike? Has anyone got information about about this? ## The exact same thing happened to me on Nov 1st. I live in south florida. I have 60 dexedrine, 10mg tablets and always costs me around $27. I went in to Walgreens and he said $181. I nearly fell over. So of course I didn't get them. When I visit home in Colorado in...

No insurance and they are charging me 301.. ## Depending on the dose the price per pill may vary. Generics are another way of cutting costs. Shire has programs if you qualify. Good luck ## Anyone can use Rx coupons.. I get 120 30 mg mixed amphetamine salts, the orange Teva with a coupon is 83.63 at walgreens. ## Hi kassie, there are rx coupons available for generic Adderall. For example, this site offers a free Rx Discount Card which you can bring to your pharmacy when you refill your script. It can typically save you 20% or more, is reusable, and doesn't expire. Hope this helps! ## Kassie, Walgreens has A discount card they can use for You.

My daughter gets prescribed 20mgs of Ritalin instant release (Dan 20) 3 times a day. I had to go to a different pharmacy and they gave me a yellow pill round with T 175 on one side. Is this the same thing? It doesn't seem to be working as well!!! ## Yes, it is also a generic for Ritalin, it contains 20mgs of Methylphenidate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia, and anorexia. Has there been any change, or is she still having a problem with it? Is she on any other medications? ## Thank you and Yes she takes 0.1 mg of clonidine mood stablizer and it also helps her sleep at night ## Ahh Finally Found a Site Where I Can Get Quick Answers Without All The Login Has...

I am trying to identify a round yellow pill with the number 92 on one side and blank on the other. The edge of the round pill is flat from front to back. The pill is slightly convex. ## This tablet is manufactured by Tris Pharma and they list it as containing 5mgs of Dexmethylphenidate. (NDC 27808-0092) It is a generic for Focalin, which is a stimulant commonly used to treat ADHD. There are some risks, however, since it is a stimulant, it could cause elevated heart rate, panic, anxiety, and heart failure, if used improperly, or in those who are sensitive to it. Inactive Ingredients: - Lactose Monohydrate - Magnesium - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato - D&C Yellow No. 10 Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a great job, one i hope to retire from. I work for a very major automobile manufacturer. I had a very minor incident driving a vehicle in the plant. It requires a drug test that had no problem taking due to being prescribed adderall the entire time employed there and have passed 2 drug tests for minor incidents with adderall on my medical chart. after the last test, I decided I would try vyvance, (another ad/hd treatment) from a friend, without a prescription, only because i wasnt going to be driving again for several weeks and would be out of my system long before that. as luck would have it, they gave me a random drug test that night! ...is the lab gonna detect the difference and fire me?!? ## ....if anyone is interested, I passed the d.t :) Thank God!! ## I am in the same boat...

Hi. I'm prescribed Vyvanse 50mg but I ran out and took some Adderall IR 30mgs to hold me off. Is this going to come up for something different then the regular amphetamines that I test positive for? And when the urine test gets sent to the lab will they be able to tell I'm taking Adderall instead of Vyvanse? ## Did you pass you test? I'm in the same boat. Will a lab detect the difference in vyvanse and adderall? I'm prescribed vyvanse and took 30mg of adderall 3 times. ## Did you past your test will adderal and vyvanse come back the same if sent to lab ## Can a lab test see difference from adderall and vyvance ## They can't Tel the difference. I did the same thing. Passed. ## I have a history of back problems (two blown disc & degenerative discs) as well as fibro...

I was told by my pharmacist today that brand name (Novartis)-ritalin 20 mg tablets sr (sustained-release), have been discontinued. I cannot find anything on the internet to confirm this. He filled one-third of the prescription and said to contact the doctor to decide what to do. He said ritalin capsules, 20 mg la (long-acting) is still available from novartis. Has anyone out there had any similar difficulties? This may cause problems with my insurance plan...or delays. And I don't have transportation to go from pharmacy to pharmacy looking for ritalin tabs 20 mg sr. Would appreciate any feedback. Thank you in advance. ## Sunday night, and my Rite Aid pharmacist called to tell me the same thing. He said any pharmacy (Rite Aid, Walmart and more) that orders their pills from McKesson w...

So I have been taking 20 mg instant release Adderall for years and I cannot seem to find one that is consistently working for me. The pink ones I was recently taking seem to work great but now have almost completely quit working for me. Any suggestions as to which generic is the best? ## Unfortunately, Adderall is not a good medication as its effectiveness is affected by several things including the food we eat, the timing of food, stomach environment, our psychosocial state etc. Consider talking to your doctor about trying a different stimulant such as Vyvanse which may be a better option. ## Hey Tracy, I also have been taking 20mg Adderall IR twice daily for over 3 years. Before that, it was several years of 70mg Vyvanse. I started out with the Sandoz/Eon peach 401's as my first s...
