What pharmacy in San Diego carries either Sandoz 30mg Adderall IR or what company is comparative to Sandoz? I have read information on Shire and Teva being changed or another company having their pills changed so the effectiveness is way weaker. I would like to know all info I can gather about 30mg IR tablets in San Diego and what is the best brand typically.

Why are so many responders referring to Adderall as Speed? From my understanding, speed is a methamphetamine? Just wondering because I am considering Adderall as a possible alternative to Ritalin but don't want to take Speed! ## Adderall contains Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine, both of which are stimulants, just different from the ones in Ritalin. It is not specifically Adderall that is considered Speed by abusers, but any stimulant drug, including Ritalin. ## Having been diagnosed with adult add in '81, I can tell you ALL C-11 Stimulants are called speed on the streets. The way it was explained to me is that methamphetamine lasts longer and is the strongest of all the amphetamines. I have also read that a person that has used any of these drugs for an extended period of time...

Hi, my son is 11, has ADHD, autism, Tourette,SPD, GDD and a learning disability. He's been on Ritalin for three years with very little effect at all. His psychiatrist has now put him on Intuniv. He started on 1mg and there were few side effects. His BP decreased a bit and he was sleepy for three days but this stopped. His dose was increased to 2mg two days ago and now he's complaining of a headache, nausea (he vomited this morning) and has also started wetting a lot. Do these side effects decrease over time...or do they continue? We have noticed a minimal decrease in the tics and he's slightly calmer, also hes only been on the meds a week, so we want to give it a chance. Just wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences. ## Those are all known side effects of this me...

Other than adderall, what other prescription drugs will show up as methamphetamine on a probation ua test? ## I take sudafed and 30 milligrams of adderall prescribed by my doctor. I had a drug test that said i was positive for methamphetamine. I haven't had methamphetamine since 2003. Please help! ## It was the Sudafed. The active ingredient (pseudoephedrine) in lots of cold and sinus meds is also used to make methamphetamine. That's why a lot of those sinus meds are now regulated and require an ID to purchase and are restricted to a certain amount you can buy at one time. ## I failed a urine test due to methamphetamines and when the Dr called from the lab, I had told him what I took which was prescribed clairtin d..the Dr from the lab told me that it wouldn't make it show m...

I have been on 54mg of Concerta for Major Depressive Disorder since 2010. This medication has been fundamentally beneficial to managing my depression. I am about to start trying to conceive for my first child and my dr has suggested I come off this medication for the pregnancy. I want to try this but at the same time am concerned about if I will be able to function off it. I want the best for my baby (if I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant). I wanted to hear from anyone who as come off this medication for pregnancy OR remained on it during pregnancy. I'd really love to hear what effects you experienced and if you remained on it, what effects has it had to your baby? Did you take it during breast feeding? I would be greatful for any information. Thank you

I have ADD , as a child I could not even get out of bed to go out and play,I was called a dummy all my life until I started to take desoxyn after I was forced to drop out of school.I was about 18. Once I started this wonder drug my whole world opened up. I excelled at everything I tried it was as though a curtain was opened up for me.I just could not learn as others do and still can't. However everyone who meets me thinks I have gone to college. I have been taking concerta 36 x 3 daily for some years now and at this point Its not working.I asked my Dr who I have been seeing for 30 years If he would give me a RX for the desoxyn.He did however I'm thinking this is going to be a problem because one pharmacy has already told me they will not get the medication. What the heck is it w...

I would like to know 18 mg of Concerta is like, compared to other ADHD medication. I used to take Adderall 20mg xr, but that was about 6 years ago. I have struggled through out these past years not realizing it was because I stopped treatment. I've heard some things about Concerta, but I'm not sure if it will benefit me the same as the Adderall did for me in the past. Any advice would be appriciated! ## Chalet , the only way to know if a particular drug will benefit you is to try it. Talk to your doctor. If your doctor will prescribe Concerta and it does not work well. Hopefully he will prescribe Adderall. ## BL is correct, we are all different and no one can possibly know how any medication will affect any given person that tries it. We can tell you that it could cause side eff...

Is it safe to take Focalin xr with Copaiba Essential Oil. My son is almost 13 and has Aspergers and ADHD. He is on Focalin Xr and we are wanting to start trying Essential Oils. One is Copaiba but because of it being a powerful Oil I am trying find out if there is a reaction between the 2. I can't find anything on the net and I have done many searches. Maybe I am putting g in the wrong information to get the correct link.

I go to a doctor and I have on many occasions had a false positives for methamphetamines but when they send it to the lab it's never really in my system.. I am very confused as I haven't used drugs in 5yrs. I am a recovering addict.. I take several medicines. I take omeprazol 40mg, ranitidine 300mg, citalopram hbr 20mg, hydroxyzine hcl 10mg, lisinopril 5mg and suboxone 8mg. I have even stopped drinking red bull because I thought that was the problem.. I am at a loss for words. I do not understand how or why I could have so many false positives but every time they send it to the lab it's never really there... Can anyone please tell me what could be causing this??? I am one who prefers mt.dew over water and I'm a full-time stay at home mom that wants nothing more then to b...

I have recently started taking adderall 10mg IR. I was wondering how long the side affects last? I think it may make my anxiety a little worse, but it's like a belly ache anxiety not like my regular paranoid anxiety. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or input. My doctor started me on the IR to see how my body reacts to it and then said we could try the XR if I didn't want to eventually have to take multiple doses. ## The side effects may last about 4 to 5 weeks, until your body gets used to the medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia. Are you on any other medications? How many times are you taking it each day? ## I too was recently prescribed Adderall IR 10MG. I've b...

Questions to ask a lab tech: I have a kidney disease. Is it possible that this is the reason why my urine test keeps coming back positive for methamphetamine? If so, why is this? I'm not a drug user. ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I am so sorry about what has happened to you. Are you on any medications? Many, such as cold remedies, allergy remedies, decongestants and diet pills have been known to cause positives for various types of amphetamines, including methamphetamine, as reported by the NIH. And yes, they also report that various kidney diseases and infections have resulted in such. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been going to the doctor due to what I thought was that UTI but turned out it wasn't I do have blood in my urine and doctor wants me to go to the ...

Adderall xr 20 mg and M. Amphet Salts 20 mg. Are these the exact same medications? Are they both manufactured my Shire? Does Shire provide Teva/Barr with the generic version of Adderall xr under the name M. Amphet Salts 20mg? Thank you.... ## In order to tell you the manufacturer, you need to provide the markings or imprints on the capsules in question. I do, however, doubt this is the case, because TEVA manufacturer's their own generic medications. Both items that you described are the same medication, the only different you listed was one being controlled release, I do not know if the other one is controlled release or not, from what you provided. There are many companies that make generic medications. Can you please post back with the imprint? I will gladly check to see who makes...

I can't tell if these are time released or not. Apparently they are generic adderall but I don't know if they are XR or instant release The pills are capsules orange in color I'd say they contain small little balls on the inside and say M. Amphet Salts 20mg ## Time released medications usually have something on them to denote that, such as the XR, CR or ER. And the listings I am finding for this do not list it as time released, either. What was marked on the prescription label? ## You have the XR version (extended release) of generic Adderall, made by Shire. The IR version (instant release) comes in a tablet form, not capsule. ## I also get the m. Amphet salts 20 mg orange capsules with the beads in them, I know this comment was posted a long time ago but if anyone could Hel...

My boyfriend took Methamphetamine on Tuesday night. About 10 to 15 hits. Will this show up in a urine test on Thursday Evening? And if so is there anything he can do to pass the test if at all possible? ## Yes it will show up. There is nothing you can do to "clean" out your system quicker. Some people say drink a lot of water or buy those over the counter drinks, but that does not do anything. ## I took methamphetamine on Saturday morning around 5 am and have a ua on Tuesday at 11am. I'm drinking tons of water, trying to sweat, and gonna try the baking soda thing. Am I going to be ok?? ## I took methamphetamine Sunday at 12 am and gotta be at probation tomorrow at 4.

I crushed and insufflated 60 mg of focalin 2 weeks ago. Will it show up on a urine test now? ## Way too late to answer but, no, it will way out of your system by then. I've gone in for a urine drug test an hour after taking Focalin and the test came back clean so even if you just took some and dropped the same day I highly doubt you'd have anything to worry about.

when prescription was filled today it said amphetimine salt and was pink, pharmacist said it was same thing ## Hi, Webb! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet?
