A few months ago my doctor gave me three months worth of post dated prescriptions for adderall ir 15mg 2x a day. This month I had a doctor appt and got prescribed adderall xr 30mg a day. I still have a prescription for the ir that I haven't turned in yet for this month. It's dated five days after the day that I turned in the new 30mg prescription. My question is can I still turn in the 15 mg prescription that was dated for this month or will I get flagged because of two prescriptions in one month...even though they are different strengths? Will my doc know? Thank you!

I just got some with orange and clear capsule no imprint with orange and white balls on the inside. Are they fake? ## They are not a legal U.S. prescription Adderall. They are all required to have an imprint to enable their identification. That said, this is most likely an over the counter product. I have some vitamin C capsules that match this description. I'll keep looking to see if I find any other possibilities. Does anyone else recognize these capsules? ## half kinda dark blue an half white capsule with white beads inside and no numbers on it what is it

The pulls r in a capsule orange and white supposed to be 30 xrs adderall a inside the continents r HUGE SQUARE WHITE BEADS LIKE 8 TO A PILL? NEVER SEEN THIS B4.. AND I HAVE SEEN THE WHITE. . Name brand adderall w white little beads these do not resemble those . ## Hi Whitney, If you got your prescription filled at a licensed pharmacy I wouldn't worry too much about the look of the pill (which may vary depending upon who the manufacturer is). Real pharmacies don't give out counterfeits. However if it doesn't work as well as a previous brand/generic you were getting before then I think it would be best to contact your doctor and see if he/she is willing to write a specific manufacturer's name on your next refill; one that you're used to taking with a proven track recor...

I've been prescribed amphetamine to take everyday for the last year. I cut my hair last week to a grade 2 and this week I've been told im to give a hair test which social services have requested. If i fail i will lose my children who are at moment in foster care. Please help. ## A 1.5 inch sample of hair, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. If you have a doctor's prescription how can they take your children?? I would show social service your prescription and tell them to make a note of it in your case file.

i am trying to identify a small light blue pill with N008 on one side and a score in the middle of the other side. I was told that it is a 20mg Adderall. I have seen blue Adderall but they are 10mg. ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? The round, blue tablet with the N008 marking actually contains 20mgs of Propranolol, which is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, certain cardiac conditions and some migraines. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, hypotension and dry cough. Is there anything else I can help with? ## d amphetamine combo salts and name brands are SO effective at 20mg. Generic Adderall and brand names are "Orange book's" - 99.5% in efficacy. SHIRES Adderall is still superior. But the generic versi...

I have been using the Ritalin manufacturer Watson but recently i filled it at a different pharmacy and was given Ritalin but the manufacturer was Qualitest and i do have good insurance. ## Hello, Julia! How are you? When a medication is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies, it creates market competition to help keep prices down, so there is no difference, except for the fact that your new pharmacy carries one that's made by a different company. It has nothing to do with how good your insurance is, or etc. Under current U.S. laws, to try to lower costs, they are required to fill your prescription with a generic, unless your doctor specifies otherwise, or you are paying cash and don't want a generic, and then, when a generic is used, yo...

Just something I been thinking about I mean logically methamphetamine burns fat cells which thc attaches itself to so wouldn't this cause an accelerated loss of thc in the system? ## I just took methamphetamine today 6-14-15. I drug test Friday. Has anyone heard of Vale? It's a drink that gets toxins out of your system. It takes about 1 hr to work and lasts up to 5 hrs. It's not FDA approved. But on the label it's guaranteed to work 100%. Has any used this product? If so did it work?

My adult daughter is displaying increased agitation and anger since she is on Vyvance. She has been off it for 2 or 3 days and is feeling horrible. I do not think she ever had ADD or ADHD when the doc prescribed the med. I feel she has been displaying symptoms of ADHD - confusion, irritation, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, etc, since being on the Vyvance. Has anyone had similar experiences?? ## Vyvanse contains the active ingredient Lisdexamfetamine, so it is a stimulant, commonly used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy. However, these can be side effect for some people, even if they do have ADHD. It can cause: insomnia, irritabillity, agression and nervousness. There are non-stimulant options available that may be better for her. Has she spoken to her doctor about these issues? You can read m...

I am in pain clinic which prescribes oxycontin 80 mg and 60 mg, oxycodone 30 mg and 15 mg as well as adderall 30 mg. drug screen came back positive for ritalin, not adderall and have been threatened with dismissal. Any ideas on how false positive might be answer or what else could be the problem? I absolutely live and die by my medication as prescribed for thorasic osteomyilytis, ADD and carpell tunell. I'm terrified of being discharged. Any answers for me?? ## They are both, amphetamines, there's no way they could have know the difference. Someone ratted you out, or they are just looking for a reason to dismiss you for some reason. Doctors do that a lot of times, the doctor will get paranoid, and dismiss patients to save their own butt.... demand another drug screen else where ...

I was wondering if any of my medications can give a false positive for methamphetamines. I take TRAZADONE, AMBIEN, ESIDIRIX, PHENERGRAN, COLONAZAPAM,NAPROSTYN, GABAPANTIN, ALENDRONATE ## I tested psitive for methamphetamine and pcp in urine test. I just celebrated a year sobriety . I take soboxon and trazadone and for bipolar I take lamotrigine and venlafaxine generic for Effexer. Please help because of this false positive result my insurance will not cover my soboxon anymore and it cost $300 for 30 days ## To be best of my knowledge's psychiatrist (MD) and pharmacologist (PHD, Pharmacology), none of the above should cause a fake + for meth...however, these are diverse drugs and I'd need a computerized data base to postulate if the combo can cause a false + for meth. Hope this h...

Yes, this contains 30mgs of mixed Amphetamine salts, so it is a generic for Adderall.

My dr gave me a packet which contained a free months trial of Vyvanse. I dropped it off at CVS in Platte City, MO & it isn't in my file. Help! ## Hi Kimberly, Sorry to hear about what had happened. Because it sounds like someone at the pharmacy misplaced the packet, I would encourage you to contact your doctor and explain to him/her what happened. Your doctor can call the pharmacy to verify that they don't have it on file. At this point I don't get the sense that he/she would suspect abuse, selling, etc if it's just an "information packet or coupons" for filling the trial prescription...? One would also think the pharmacy has cameras everywhere should something like this happen. Perhaps a last resort may be to ask them to look at their video surveillance from...

I am on suboxone and my suboxone doctor sent my urine to be tested at a laboratory. She documented the prescriptions I am currently taking except Concerta HCI 36mg ER and my urine test came back positive for ritaline acid and amphetamine. Would it be possible to be positive for these two drugs? If so why wouldn't my suboxone doctor give all my prescribed medications to the laboratory that tested my urine? I got a registered letter stating that I was no longer a patient with this suboxone clinic. I'm very confused about this and why would I test positive for ritaline acid and amphetamine. I have been taking generic concerta HCI 36 mg er for ADHD for 2 years and my suboxone doctor seen my list if prescriptions every month for the last 3 months and knew I was taking 36 mg concerta ...

My daughter is involved in a horrible, long (over a year) custody case. Her ex-boyfriend has been screaming "She's using methamphetamine" and keeps getting DHS involved. They put her on random UAs, 2 weeks ago. She took one the day of court. Came back completely clean. They did one last Thursday, it came back POSITIVE (readings were Amphetamine 942 ng/mL and Methamphetamine 7838 ng/mL). She hasn't used (We took her for a hair follicle test today, but it takes 7-10 days to get back. Meanwhile, she has court again tomorrow. The lab never even asked her what medications that she takes. So, the Benzodiazepines came back positive (well, it was negative on the first one and she took her medication that day, we are SURE of that, cause that was the day of court!) I talked to a p...

I accidentally took my weight loss pills (slimquick fat burner for women) and then took my amphetamine salts that I just got prescribed. I totally forgot I had taken both of them, is this bad? Should I go to my doctor what should I do.. Please help! ## Hi Juliana, I checked the ingredients of the slimquick fat burner on amazon, and it basically looks like the main ingredient for appetite suppression is caffeine. That being said, amphetamine salts and caffeine can intensify one another so that does increase the risk of discomfort. You could feel anxiety, jitters, rapid heartbeat, etc. How are you feeling now? If you are experiencing discomfort or any other side effects then it is a good idea to quickly call into your doctor or pharmacist to let them know since they should be able to give...

How long does the daytrana transdermal patch 20 mg stay in your system for a urine test? ## I would say it is in the system at least a few days after the patch is removed because that is approximately how long it takes the active ingredient Methylphenidate to be metabolized (a little less, actually), but I am also factoring in that the transdermal patch is a slower release mechanism for the drug. I am estimating this based on this site's half life calculator and entering Methylphenidate 20 mg, with a listed half life of 3.5 hours. I hope this helps and let me know how it goes!

I take adderall er 20mg 2 tabs each morning. Also: Combivent, advair diskus, dulera, clonidine, quetapine, lisinopril, metoprolol, montelukast, sumstriptan, Sudafed and flunisolide. Can these interact and show up positive for Methamphetamine on a mouth swab drug test?
