Will my adderall xr work if I just tranfer the beads to a different capsule? It will probably work basically the same I assumed, any thoughts? ## Why would you do that, unless you are wanting to keep your actual medication while filling the Adderall XR caps with crushed up Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen to carry out dubious activities!

My boyfriend was given a 5 panel urine drug test. He is currently taking 40 mg of Vyvanse. The test results showed that all panels were negative except for the THC. So the test for the Vyvanse was negative. Would that mean that the result for the THC could be wrong also? ## On a five panel test, each drug is tested individually. If he rested positive for THC then I feel confident that he had THC in his system. I am not certain, but I don't believe Vyvanse is a drug that is tested for. I don't believe it is a narcotic. Again, I am not positive about the Vyvanse.

Seven year old grandson is on Methylphenidate. Doctor says drug test every 3 months. Insurance says not covered. First drug test statement, only EOB not bill, says cost is $6800. Cannot find anything on the web that says this drug test is required in Indiana. Can anyone help or tell me who to contact?

my son is 7 years old and is having a few problems in school because of hes adhd so his doctor suggest 5mg of dextoroamp-amphet er but for school only..( what ever that means )..is this a good idea and wht are the sideeffects? ## Hello, Calvin! How are you and your son? This is a generic for Adderall, it is a stimulant that's used to treat conditions such as ADHD, narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder. Whether or not it's a good idea really depends on your son, if he really is that out of hand with ADHD and needs the help for school, then it might be good to try it, but if his condition is very mild, then a medication may not be necessary. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, wei...

I used meth 3 days ago and did very little. Does anybody know how long will it show for through a blood test, im getting one in november. Will the methamphetamine still show? Please help. Thank you. ## The time it's detectable in a blood test is usually about 3 days, after last use. It's going to vary from person to person, because everyone is different, but that's an approximate time frame. Learn more drug test details here. Are there any other questions or comments? ## it'll take about 3 days it all depends on ur body weight, smoke weed leave that meth s*** alone ## I am leaving it alone, thanks Jon. I have urine test in 4 to 5 days. Don't know what got into me :( ## I've been using methamphetamine for the past 5 days for the first time and have a UA in 3 days....

My sister in law was just incarcerated for being dirty on her ua for methamphetamine. She was just diagnosed with schizophrenic as well as bipolar. She had a "nervous psychotic break down" is what they called it. So naturally she's on a lot of meds. So my question is, "would triazadone, trileptal, or benzotropine cause a false positive for methamphetamine?"

I just was prescribed to Adderall xr 20 mg and it made me feel horrible , I'm 15 years old and I tried to convince my mom that these give me headaches and I can't focus. She won't believe me and she said it because I'm not eating, I lost my appetite taking this drug and I know that it not just that , I know that this pill dosent work. Every single person who said something about this pill was always negative. ## For extra information They are generic version from CVS, blue capsule ## Hello, Noah! How are you? This medication is a stimulant, so it can cause headaches as a side effect, as reported by the FDA, as well as loss of appetite, nervousness and insomnia. It's also very common for you to experience such issues, when you're new to taking it, because your bod...

What is this pill I can't find out anywhere, it's round yellow with 45|78 on one side and a fancy v on the other. ## According to the manufacturer, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, this tablet contains 20mgs of Methylphenidate. It is a stimulant that is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia and it also carries the risk of being habit forming.

My 11 year old son has ADHD and is taking Ritalin. He has constant cramps of the stomach. Can he use Hyospasmol? ## Hello, Ally! How is your son doing? It would be better to take him to his doctor as he may need to try a different medication to avoid this side effect. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and insomnia. How severe are the cramps? Are they constant or do they come and go? Has he had diarrhea? Has he been sick recently?

Hi all. I have been taking 30mg/day generic dexedrine IR tablets for 7 years now, and while I've seen a shortage happen occasionally it's always passed eventually. I picked up my prescription yesterday and found the pharmacy had given me ER capsules instead of IR tablets. Its a new-ish pharmacy for me so I figured it was a mistake, but when I asked them about it they told me that the generic IR tabs were discontinued entirely. Is this true? I'm located in California in the US. ## @swiftly, From what I've researched, Dextrostat (which is referred to by some as a "generic" for Dexedrine) was reportedly discontinued by Shire Richwood in 2003. NOTE: the actual generic name is Dextroamphetamine, which seems to still be available from the following manufacturers in bot...

I have yet to take a form of this medication in any brand since the 5 mg Dexedrine that is even and consistent and has the least amount of side effects to date. I take 15 mg 4 times/day. My plan approves it currently but I will appeal it until the cows come home because minus appetite loss, which is even less than the other forms for me, this dose taken this way has been a blessing. However, it is difficult to find. Out of everywhere I called, only Costco had it available from one of their backup suppliers and it had to be ordered but honestly, if you can get insurance to cover it, or get the coupon and get one of the doses out of the 5 mg or 10 mg even from this company, go for it. I took the Wilshire as well as Zenzedi in the 10 mg form and it had more side effects. I just had to note...

So I never really thought this could be a problem with me but I think I may have ADD... i dont know aboutADHD. First let me tell you I am addicted to Opioids. However, have been going to a Dr for 2-3 years. In that time i have been onSuboxone. Only one relapse in that span which is actually amazing.. Anyways I recently hired an employee who has ADD...ADHDand we kinda played around joking about him burning food or what not and then really got into the conversation of howAdderallchanged his life.. and now that I know all these uses forAdderalland what it help I actually fit into alot of the reasons people take it. I finally convinced him to let me try a couple. . Rather than going to my Dr for fear he will think I am trading one addiction for another. And it really helped me.. not only in...

Hello, I've never taken adderall ever in my life and I had gotten two pills for a 15 hour drive to go visit family. I had taken one on the way down and one on the way back. The two dates were November 10th and November 17th. I will have a urine test on December 14th for the day I ship off to boot camp for the navy. Will I pass the test? ## Mason, if you have almost a month between the time of your last dose and the urine test then you should be fine, as long as you haven't taken any more. According to the NIH it's usually cleared from your system within 3 days or so. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi, Can I open the Ritalin LA 20mg capsule and dissolve the little white balls in hot chocolate or coffee? My son just can't swallow the capsule. Your help would be much appreciated. Please reply. {edited for privacy}. ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? No, you can't dissolve them, because the LA means that this is a time released medication and doing so could cause him to get too much at once, which may result in a dangerous overdose. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss and insomnia. However, the medication guide does say that they can be sprinkled over something such as apple sauce and swallowed that way, so that should be fine, if his doctor approves. Is there anyth...

I'm a single Mom and I'm worry about my son he lies about everything now if anyone could help me I do appreciate you for doing so. ## Without any markings, it is likely going to be difficult to determine exactly what this tablet contains. We can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription medication, because they are all required by law to have unique imprints to enable their identification. However, it could be any one of a large number of over the counter products and there is also a small chance that it could be a foreign medication. How big is it? Could you maybe compare in size to a coin for me? ## How did mama know to come to the adderall post board if she doesnt know what the pill is...

My brother who is 50 went to a psychiatrist who prescribed to him risperlet and epilizine; he is diagonised for ADHD; the side effects are strong, he lost his appetite and he is tired at all time. He reduced the dose the went to another doctor who decided to stop them as they're the wrong medications. Now four days after stopping them, he is sleeping all the time. Is it normal? And how long will take to get them out of his system since he was on those medications for three and a half months? ## Hello, Simone! How is your brother doing? Yes, those medications aren't generally used to treat great ADHD. And yes, again, withdrawal effects are normal and it may take a few weeks for him to stop sleeping so much and feeling somnolent. As listed by the FDA, he may also experience reboun...

I am primary custodian for my 10 year old grandson. I've had him since he was born. I had an epiphany about my life close to 9 months ago and changed my habits drastically. My family decided that I was on drugs. So, one of them decided that they would call CPS. They came out and orally drug tested me and I was positive for crystal meth and methamphetamine! I take atenolol for high blood pressure and vitamins and that is it. How could this happen? The case worker told me that only two things give a false positive for that. (amphetamine salt that is found in 2 prescription drugs, neither of which I'm taking) They're letting me take a hair follicle test in a few days. How likely is this to repeat itself? Now my son and his ex wife are taking me to court for custody. Help me, pl...

have you seen any bad side effects like tics or such? my 6 yr old son is starting this and i am trying to find out what other people's experience has been. this will be his first med for adhd. ## Hello, Soy! How are you and your son? He will most likely experience some side effects, such as nausea, headache, irritability, weight loss and insomnia, as listed by the FDA, they are all fairly common and should go away, as his body gets used to the medication. Can anyone that's taken this chime in?

is dexmethylph the same as dexmethylphenidate hcl? The pills in each bottle look alike both have a "D" on one side of the pill and a 10 on the other side. Labels are showing different names. One reads dexmethylph and the other reads dexmethylphenidate HCL. Are they the same exact pill? ## Yes, it's just been abbreviated on one of the labels. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant and warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with?
