Hello there, My son has been on Intuniv ER 1mg for four days. The Dr says give it time, but how much time he didnt say. My son takes it at 8am, and at 2pm each day he is tired. after a nap, still tired for the rest of the day. Anyone know how long this might last? Thanks ## Intuniv ER contains the active ingredient Guanfacine, it is used to lower blood pressure and treat ADHD. Drowsiness and fatigue are normal side effects, they should taper off as his body gets used to the medication, this could take from 2 weeks to a month. If it gets worse or does not improve, then make sure to speak to your doctor, again. Other side effects can include: headache, constipation and loss of appetite. You can read more on the medication itself here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## The sid...

Can Adderall give a false positive test for Methamphetamine and not for Amphetamines? ## Yes, Adderall has been known to cause a false positive for Methamphetamines on drug tests and it is actually noted in the PDR drug reference information for physicians. Since Amphetamines and Methamphetamine are distantly related, it really isn't too surprising that this could occur. Has this happened to you? ## This has happened to me twice now. I have never touched methamphetamine, but am prescribed generic adderall or d-amphetamine salt combo. I need to find references as to where I can prove that this is common in a urinalysis test. ## Yes it can. It happened to me. Which resulted in cps removing my 2 children from my home for a month while they called my Dr. and checked medical records. I t...

I'm trying to identify an orange diamond shaped pill that's supposed to be an adderall, but I don't know what it is? ## Are there any markings on the tablet? Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA requires that all U.S. manufactured prescription medications have markings on them, in order to enable their identification in case of emergency. The FDA warns that Adderall carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, insomnia, nausea, and anorexia.

Hi! Yes I am looking for a doctor who will prescribe adderall in south jersey. I am a nursing student finishing my last classes to apply. This current semester I had to take off because I’m having such a hard time concentrating and focusing. I know that adderall would change my life when it comes to school. I am talking about my future here so I really need to find a doctor who is prone to prescribing adderall. If anyone has any info, thank you

I'm a 20 year old college student that just started taking adderall and I was wondering if there are any negative effects of taking adderall and tylenol or benadryl? ## I have been taking Adderall and have taken both tylenol and benedryl periodically with no adverse reactions. I'm not a pharmacist so don't take my word, medically but experiencially I've had no problems. ## Is this perscribed to you?Or do you have ADD is what I mean?If not and you are just taking it as the 'study drug' then you will be hooked before you know it!It also makes you VERY moody, lose weight and and very depressed when you are out!!!! It is the 'new meth' in my town!!! ## angie, is totally correct...I take adderal for narcolepsy...before taking this med I had a very outgoing bub...

This is a false result. I take albuterol inhaler, and Nasnex and chlorhalidone and ranitidine and Norco 10/325 and alprazolam. Used to take another kind of inhaler when I run out of my albuteral ## I tested positive for methamphetamine on my last UA test. I take alot of others meds. Like doxepin + hydrocodone 5/325 for pain + inhalers for my copd + duloxetine + creator + nexium Dr montelukast + aspirin. ## Hair was positive for meth.. not a user. I take nose spray called Afrin to open up my nasal. And some allergy over the counter stuff. Also NyQuil during bad allergy season. Don't know what is cause of this ## Your inhaler causes false positives for benzos and methamphetamine sometimes. ## I tested positive for methamphetimines on a urinalysis test today.

can you switch to adderall from ritalin immediately without tapering off the dosage of ritalin? ## You can, if your doctor has told you to do so, and said that it is safe for you. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, mood changes, and anorexia. What are the prescribing instructions?

Used Methamphetamine friday around 2pm and have to test wednesday at 10am. Will I be able to test clean? ## It's difficult to say, Methamphetamine can be detectable in a urine test for up to 5 days, after use, however, this can vary slightly from person to person. There are different factors that can affect it, such as your metabolism, activity level, overall health, the amount used, frequency of use and etc. Are there any other questions? ## That's bs it takes 2-3 days and it will b out of your system I know this for a fact I've been in the same predicament several times as line as u don't use a lot. ## I took 2 small hits. Ive only done this drug 2 times in my life. I used this on Friday night and I did about a Little less than a half a g. My last line I did was very s...

I've been taking vyvanse for my entire life and I've been without my vyvanse for 2 days now and it's affecting my new job already and I'm panicking, my prescription is 303$ to pick up at my pharmacy and that's the cheapest of all pharmacies in my area and I don't get my new insurance until may and I can really use the free 30 day trial of vyvanse if anyone can help me out. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to lower the cost to 50$ or $60 because that's all I have to spend right now. But the 30 day trial would be a God send. I wont have insurance until may 2018 and I just don't know what to do, I've tried everything. Thank you. ## The manufacturer Shire does have an assistance program for this medication. You can call them to see if y...

Please advise. My grandson is 9 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD. He's on ritalin but his parents only give it to him when he's in school. Should they keep him on it year-round? He is not controllable when he's not taking it. ## These medications really do work best, when taken continuously, as prescribed. However, the final decision on that is up to the parents and the child's doctor. Have they said why they don't give it to him, when he isn't in school? They may just want to avoid some of the possible side effects, such as the anorexia and insomnia that it can cause. ## I was just put on ritalin for lack of motivation and depression. I also take xanax, zoloft and zyprexa. What is the difference between adderall and ritalin?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience switching from Vyvanse 70mg once daily to Mydayis (50mg) and if it is a better medication as opposed to Vyvanse? Please respond if anyone out there has experienced this switch as I am considering it somewhat although, I have no major issues with Vyvanse. ## If Vyvanse is working for you, why switch? I am just curious. Mydays is most similar to Adderall, and is used to treat the same conditions, but overall it really depends on what works for you, and what is safest for you. Has your doctor suggest you make a change? The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia, mood changes, and weight loss. ## Hi, Verwon! Thanks for the reply. To answ...

I have two kinds of vyvanse...one is 30mg and the other is 50mg. Now i want to know if they are real cuz the powder inside isn't bitter. In fact its bittersweet. Not overly sweet. I've had vynanse many times. But i forgot the taste. Anybody know the real taste of vyvanse? ## From what I could gather, legitimate Vyvanse is reported by many patients as being "bitter", and in some cases might even leave a bad metallic taste in the mouth. However, when certain inactive ingredients are present, I hear that it may actually come off as being sweet. Does anyone else find this to be true as well? If there aren't any markings on the capsule or some other feasible way to identify the substance and dosage, your best bet would probably be to have the contents analyzed by a lab fo...

I have been taking Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine Sulfate XR) for 3 years now and it has always looked the same: clear and dark brown manufactured by BARR, imprinted with the same and the numbers 956. Two months ago the medication I received was blue. I was stupid and didn't think twice about it only to be called by the pharmacy and told I had been given Adderall by mistake at the end of the month. The following month my medication was back to the usual clear and brown. This month I have been given blue pills again. They gave them to me in a bottle that says "Dextroamphetamine Sulf ER 15MG" as it should, they scratched out "BARR" and wrote "Global" on the manufacturer part. The description label on the bottle says the pills should be clear and brown and imprint...

Redbook 2009 page 375 "Pharmacys Fundamental Reference" 100 tabs of five mg Ovation Pharmaceutical "Desoxyn" is $381.65 wholesale, and is $457.98 retail, "cash in fist" or $4.58 per tablet. I used to take the former Abbott Labs of North Chicago, Illinois, the former 10mg and 15 mg. "Desoxyn Gradumet tablets, which were available at least from 1965 until 1999, these were extended (sustained release tablets) not the instant release 5 mg ones that Ovation is licensed to manufacture for Abbott. The 10 mg were orange, the15 mg were yellow. Even the white ones, 5 mg, were embossed with the classic little reverse "a" in a small letter. Much superior, in my humble opinion, were Abbott's former stimulant called "Desbutal" which also were methamphet...

I just found out that I have to take a hair follicle and urine test in about a month for a summer internship. I recently took one vivance and one Adderall exactly one week apart and am not on a prescription for either. I know they won't show up on the urine test seeing that I sweat daily working out, but will they show up on the hair follicle test since I only took them once each? ## Sorry I cant help you, but I am in almost the exact same situation.

I took a drug test at work and it shows positive for amphetamines and methamphetamines and I don't do illegal drugs. I take latuda, pristiq, neurontin, sudafed, adderall, nasal spray at times, bc powder, and vitamins. How is this even possible? I can lose my job. ## Hi Girlygirl, sorry to hear about what you're going through. What you have listed as your medications (especially the Sudafed, Adderall, and nasal spray) are most likely the reasons that your lab work came back positive. If possible, your best bet would be to show proof that you are prescribed these medications, or a doctor's note, so that they can see the reason for such results. If you are unable to gather that information that I would definitely mention that you are taking over the counter Sudafed for allergie...
