White round tablet with AlB on one side, A score B. On the other side MP. That's it. I've heard it is an amphetamine of some kind, ## I've located some similar comments about it being a generic for Adderall, but I cannot find this listed in any of our prescription drug resources to confirm this. Was it found or obtained in the U.S. or from elsewhere? ## This is Ritalin. Probably 10mg. Like Adderall, Ritalin treats ADHD and has similar effects and side effects.

Why would I get 2 different pills when I have the same prescription and same manufacturer on the bottles from the same Pharmacy? The amount of time between scripts was 2 months. ## This is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by different companies, this is allowed by the FDA in order to create market competition to help keep prices down. My best guess is that your pharmacy ran out of their usual one and had to use some from a different manufacturer to fully fill your latest prescription, or they switched, and neglected to note the change on the label. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and anorexia. What are the markings on them? If you can post back with this infor...

I took a 60mg adderall today and I'm wondering why nothing has happened? I took it once and I was all over the place; and it was only 10mg. Why isn't 60mg doing anything? ## Where did you obtain the medication? Are you sure it is actually Adderall? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, and anorexia.

I was wondering if anyone takes Adderall for the severe fatigue and has it worked? ## Hi Lucinda, From what I've researched, there are many studies, reviews, and drug descriptions online indicating that Adderall has a proven ability to decrease symptoms of chronic fatigue as well as improve cognitive function. Its active ingredients (dextroamphetamine + amphetamine) are also classified by nih.gov as "central nervous system stimulants", that work by regulating certain natural substances in the brain. One thing to note though, is that different manufacturers of generic/brand name adderall are reported to vary in their overall effectiveness. So it may be that you have to try a few versions out until you find what manufacturer works best. Perhaps the following related threads ca...

I am prescribed 60 of the 20mg Adderall IR a month, and last time I saw my prescriber, he gave me three written prescriptions for 60 of the 20mg, all of them say "earliest fill date: March 9, 2017". Can I fill them all at once? I already filled one of the three, covered by insurance, on the 9th. Can I fill the other two whenever I want if I paid cash? The reason I'm asking is I've never seen the three scripts all have the same date in which they can be filled (they used to say "fill 4/9/17" and "fill 5/9/2017", for example). Also I'm going on a vacation with my family next week so I'll need to have a vacation override anyway. I'm in WA state. ## Jade, No, there are no longer prescription overrides on controlled schedule narcotics of the CII ty...

I recently read online that the generic form of Adderall contains fillers and inactive ingredients. Is there anyone who was on the generic Adderall switch to the name brand? Did you notice a difference? And about how much do you pay with insurance...(you don't have to answer that if you don't want) I am currently prescribed D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 20mg. I take a whole pill in the morning, then a half a pill at 3pm. Even with the medicine, I find it extremely hard to remember what I just read while studying. I have to re-read a sentence a few dozen times in order to somewhat remember. ## All medications contain fillers/inactive ingredients, name brands, as well as generics. You can research the details via the FDA and NIH reports. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this m...

Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Actavis Pharmaceuticals and they do list it as containing 20mgs of mixed amphetamine salts, which is a generic for Adderall. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant that carries the risk of being habit forming and which may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight loss, insomnia and anorexia.

I moved to the Yulee/Fernandina Beach area from Mobile, AL. I need to find a new PC & who's "willing" to prescribe Adderall. I went to one PCP, based on a recommendation, and was treated as though I'm a junkie - I'm a 46 y/o professional. She had my full medical records, and still requested "evidence." She prescribed focalin, which is costing me $257! Insurance only pays on reimbursement level. Took one pill & felt dizzy and nauseous the whole day. Insurance also won't cover "medication checks." I can get a referral to a psychiatrist, but, again, expensive. ## Did you ever find a doctor that worked out for you? I also recently moved to Nassau county and paying to see a psychiatrist. It's costing me a boat load of money every month.

What is dextroamphetamine/amphetamine er? I've just started this med. Does it take time for it to build up in your system before it starts working? If so, how long does it take? ## This is a generic for Adderall, which is most commonly used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and shift work sleep disorder. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia, nervousness, and anorexia. There should be some immediate effects, but it will take 4 to 5 weeks to reach its full level of efficacy in your body. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm on 10mg of D-AMPHETAMINE SALT combo.for 3 months. I take twice a day, I feel like it's not lasting long enough, is it too early to take a hig...

Hi there, i work in a highly stressful sales/marketing retail job. I've been using urbanol to handle the stress and cycling helps a lot. But i started using concerta to be more productive with the short time i have available for the marketing. Will concerta effect my cycling or should i take it after my morning routine, as i tend to cycle at 75%+ heart rate efficiency "spelling"? Also the concerta seems to promote irritability in me. Should i split my urbanil intake over the day? My dosages are 18mg concerta in the morning, 10mg urbanol at 10ish when the day starts going and again at 1 or whenever i need it through the day. Some hectic days id take 4 urbanol at 2h intervals. Is that not advisable? I do that like once every 2 weeks. ## I have been taking concerta dose 18 and ...

In the future, if such a thing happens, again, though I hope it doesn't, please immediately contact poison control or your nearest emergency services department.

(This one may be hard to find..) back in the 80s I was one of the many children misdiagnosed with ADD ("sorry I finished your boring school work faster than everyone else!), and eventually got put into some test program at a local hospital for a summer for it. This, after ritalin did nothing for my condition. :p. One of the pills they gave us I remember fairly distinctly: small hexagon shaped with an H stamped out of the middle. Damn thing made joints lock up on me if moved the wrong way. (Ex: neck would lock if I looked up too far, and had to roll my head to either side to see forward again) So, I really wanna know, wtf did they give me??

white small tablet ## Pill Image This is Metadate Extended Release 20mgs, a generic for Ritalin-Sr used for ADHD. ## Swim has never tried Ritalin. Swim has an upcoming exam and needs to study all night. A friend gave him a NVR R40 capsule ( exentended release). Swim wonders if he should cut the pill in half for a lower dose because he has never tried Ritalin. Is 40 mg ER too high to take at once?

Would this oval white pill imprinted with 612 show up on a urine test as drugs? I took a urine test at Dianne kreptowskis office and it tested positive for speed or amphetamine. This is a drug I got from rite aide. Now they want to take me off my pills. Is it anlrco? That would do it.

Just moved to the state someone PLEASE help me out!!!need a doc min oakland county Michigan for xanax and adderall ## Hello, Johnny! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Thus, the best thing to do would be to set yourself up with a new PCP and then have them refer you to someone. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? ## There are no new regulations that state only a specialist can prescribe xanax and adderall. Any new dr you see with want to get a copy of your medical records from your previous dr. Being a new patient it may be difficult to find a dr who will prescribe both medications. ## I know exactly who you need to see. You're gonna ha...

Please READ this as I am going to try to explain my best of my experience with these medications. I want to start out saying that life is what you make it. There are millions of people out there with a chemical imbalance such as ADHD, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY etc. With that being said I have all three of them stated above. I went all through high school without being on any medications. I tried some depression pills but never stuck with them but I made it and graduated with a B-C average but I did it.

I was scared to take it because I didn't do drugs besides drink on occasion. So I was scared what it was going to do to me. Well since that day my ...
