What is the difference? Is one stronger? Or one lower? ## Hello, Nell! How are you? No, what you've listed are both the same, 30mg mixed amphetamine salts, they've just been abbreviated differently. So, unless one is marked with XR, SR, ER or something similar, then both are 30mg regular release formulations. This medication is a stimulant that's most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, anorexia, insomnia, nervousness and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am going to take a hair strand test looking for methamphetamine, amphetamines, etc. I am prescribed oxycodone10, zanax, and adipex. I took approximately 150 mg. of Adderall that is not prescribed, in the past 90 days total. Will the testing show a difference in the Adderall and adipex? If so, what ingredients are different?

Last summer i was taking vyvanse 70 mg for my add. It worked wonders for me, but I stopped taking it because i had transportation issues and couldnt get to the dr. On may 31st I started taking the vyvanse 70mg again and for the first week I was fine and things were great. The second week I started to be too concentrated on my work spending from 2pm - 1 am on the computer doing research for a class, and 2 of the nights i had hallucinations. The texture of the ceiling was gently waving like water on a lake, and the carpet was doing the same. on day 17 (yesterday) I threw up about an hour after taking my vyvanse. I felt sick and jittery all day Last night I started feeling worthless and hopeless to the point of wishing I were dead. Today I did not take my vyvanse but my stomache still hurt...

My son is 11now. What is the dosage of foccalin that I should give him daily? Thanks Ly. ## Hello, Lynn! How are you and your son? Focalin is a stimulant that's used to treat conditions, such as ADHD and narcolepsy, it does carry some risks due to its nature, so it should only be given if prescribed by his doctor and then only in the dosage the doctor prescribes. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, anorexia, insomnia and nervousness. What dosage does he currently take?

I just found out my PCP is leaving my network for insurance and need a new dr that will be an easy transition and is not going to give me trouble about my adderall script. I don't take a lot 15mg twice daily and saw a psychiatrist in the past before getting on it but I know doctors can give people a hard time about this and hope to find one that isn't against the medicine etc. Can anyone else that is on this medication recommend a good doc? ## Hello, Michael! How are you? Due to the new regulations that have been put in place, a PCP will not be able to prescribe it for you, you'll need to see a specialist, which means seeing a psychiatrist, again. Adderall is a stimulant medication that is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy, it carries the risk of being habit fo...

I am looking for a doctor that prescribes adderall in Anderson, SC or surrounding area. Family doctor, psychiatrist, etc. Someone that can see me fast and doesn't charge $300. I know that's a lot to ask. I used to take adderall years ago, but lost my health insurance. Now that I have started working, my add is so horrible! Please help! It will be cash pay. Thank you! ## Hello, Kris! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Due to the new regulations that were put in place, you'll need to see a specialist to have such a medication prescribed, a general practitioner will not be able to prescribe it for you. Thus, I doubt you're going to find a cheap fee for an appointment and you will have to return monthly. This medication carries the risk of b...

I took Nyquil, Vicks Inhaler, Robitussin, and metformin for almost a week and half every day even up to the day I took my drug test. I had 3 weeks notice to when and what day and time my test would be taken. I was just hired on to this job 3 weeks ago and I had been layed off for two years before this great job came along. They are paying me$ 70,000 a year plus commission They were paying me that until I was fired last Thursday for testing positive for amphetamines. I live out of state and I had to fly to our corporate office that week for training and for my drug test. So I guess the company is assuming that I was dumb enough to attempt bringing illegal drugs with me on the plane so I would have them when I got to the hotel that evening which was Monday night and my test was for 7:30 t...

Hi everyone I have like three bottles of # 20mg adderall that my daughter has stopped using and it would be a shame to just flush them down the toilet.I live in St Lucie county Florida maybe there is a clinic or children's psychiatric home that could use them? any suggestions would be helpful! thank you ## Hello, Trixie! How are you? No, I'm sorry, but due to risks of possible tampering, contamination and/or improper storage, they aren't allowed to make use of such medications. Thus, it would be best to dispose of them, but please do not flush them. This contaminates our ground water. To properly dispose of old medications, the FDA instructions say that you should mix them with some undesirable substance, such as used kitty litter or coffee grounds, then place them in a seal...

I took 4 - 10 mg adderall over a 4 day period (108 days ago). I am having a hair test tomorrow, they are collecting 4.5" of hair (popsicle stick size). I'm guessing they will be testing a 9 month period. Is this considered enough to fail the 100 pg/ng minimum? ## Did you pass?

I am waiting on the results of a hair follicle test. I have a prescription for Adderall 30 salt pill 2 x a day but 17 days before I had to take the test I did a very thin line of methamphetamine. It was a 1 time use and the line was about 1 inch long. I really didn't even feel it but I am so worried about it showing up in my test. What are the chances that it won't or will show up? The company that is testing is omega I only had 13 hours to have test done. I did bleach my hair but don't think that would help me. Please help me I am driving myself crazy thinking about it.

Since I started talking Adderall IR 20MG twice daily for narcolepsy, I have noticed a vague feeling of discomfort in my bladder.... I have also noticed increased urination, and was eventually diagnosed with IC Bladder - Intersiatial Cystitis . Anyone else experience any these symptoms? ## Yeah, the Adderall can cause increased urination. So, may the adderall is dehydrating you some and filling your bladder up more than what is normal for you? I would see if you get used to it. Also, make sure you are drinking enough fluids and some electrolytes throughout the day. The urination thing is common. ## Hello, Brian! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry about the problem you've had. Bladder pain is actually listed as a common side effect, along with UTIs. Other common ones can include ...

Short history, when I was younger, I struggled so much with attentiveness, motivation, understanding, etc. My teacher thought it would be best if I stayed behind so they can better help me. I did stay back but I was not helped. Of course I did not know this atthe ttime. Couple of years later I'm still doing poorly and I did not know why. Some time later, I heard of adhd. And the similarities were spot on but, I was embarrassed to admit it and instead I wrote it off as me being lazy. After awhile I accepted it as my reality and completely convinced myself this is what it was. This made for years of agonizing school time. Barley passing and only advancing due to no child left behind. Afterwards, my life was filled with losing jobs and just messing everything up when the opportunity ar...

I am teaching a medication administration course and need a list of schedule G drugs and rthe reason they would be listed as such ## I cannot find a complete list, most of my information is for the U.S. and they do not use the same schedule for drugs. However, the schedule G drugs are those that are available strictly by prescription. This is due to the possibility of side effects and the health dangers they may present if used improperly. Some that are included in this category are amphetamines and barbituates. What country are you in? That may help me find you the proper information. ## Thanks for the reply, We are in Canada and I do realize that these are a restricted drug but I am not sure if they are narcotics or if they are special drugs that are being used almost experimentally o...

My son's focalin xr prescription was just increased from 5mg to 10. Could I give him two 5mg capsules safely, or should I just get rid of the remaining 5mg capsules? ## Hello, Angelle! How are you and your son? In theory, it should be okay to do so, since you're not breaking open the capsules, but I would suggest double checking with your pharmacist to be certain. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks! I don't have any other questions right now but I know where to come if I ever have more. ## You are very welcome, I'm happy to help! Have an awesome day!

I have had MS for 13 years. I'm 51 years old. I've been through menopause. I need something to give me energy. ## Hello, Edie! How are you? I am very sorry about your health issues. This website does not manufacture nor prescribe any medications. It is an information only resource. Additionally, such medications aren't generally used just to give someone energy, because they run the risk of being habit forming and may cause some possibly dangerous side effects, if used improperly, such as heart attack, stroke, anorexia and elevated blood pressure. What medications do you currently take? What have you tried to boost your energy levels? Do you eat healthy and get lots of exercise?
