Taking Amphetamine Salts- For 10 yrs, 20mg, 60 mg daily. Also Wellbutrin 300mg. Picked up prescription. They were different pills. Smaller round, light orange, with U30 on them, although they are 20mg. On 2nd day I start getting-it feels like an electric shock at right temple that lasts for about 2-3 second, every couple hours I'm healthy and pills never bothered me. Thanks for your help ## Hello, Walt! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. While there's a chance that this symptom is due to a slight fluctuation in the amount of the active ingredient in the new tablet, there is also a chance that it isn't and you could have some other health issue going on. It would best to see your doctor and have yourself checked out, for your own safety. This...

I have had adult onset narcolepsy/EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) for 2 years and have tried almost all anti-depressants to try to alleviate the problem. I recently completed a sleep study and they found no sleeping disorders, so everything points to narcolepsy. My psychiatrist has been extremely unhelpful so it's time to find a new doctor. I live in northern Wisconsin but am willing to travel anywhere in the midwest to get real help. Please help if you can, need an effective neurologist or psychiatrist. ## Hello, Charley! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. If you need such a medication, then you'll need to see a doctor that is near you and you'll have to use a pharmacy that is also nearby. Since Adderall is a controlled substance that ...

Primary care docs that will prescribe adderall to an adult who has been taking the medication for over 10 years and moved here from Up North. ## Hello, Tokiko! How are you? I'm sorry, but due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, PCPs aren't going to be able to prescribe it for you. You'll need to see a specialist to receive such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss, irritability, nervousness and insomnia. The easiest way to go about it would be to most likely get yourself set up with a new PCP and then have them refer you to someone. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area?

My 8 year old daughter is on 40 mgs of vyvanse it helps her focus but makes her head hurt and if I don't feed her before she will not have a appetite all day.The first time today I gave her cereal and milk and about 4pm she through up ## Hello, Worried! How is your daughter doing? This is a stimulant drug, so loss of appetite can be a normal side effect that some people experience, when taking it. The headaches are also a common side effect, along with the nausea. She may also experience dizziness, nervousness and insomnia. How long has she been taking it? Most of the typical side effects will wear off, after about 4 to 6 weeks, once her body gets used to the medication. However, if they don't, or if they worsen, she may need to be switched to a different medication, as this mig...

Hey everyone, I started 10 mg 2-3 times daily of the generic blue pill which is IR for ADD --no hyperactivity. I tried Ritalin a few weeks ago and HATED it. Mood swings immediately while it was still in my system, and I had this odd strung out feeling. No good. This is my third day on adderall and I can tell that the concentration and focus is there. The first day I took two 10mg at the same time and felt the motivation kick that got me going, which is one of the things I was hoping to see as a benefit becuase another of my serious problems i have struggled with is procrastination. However, because I am only on a trial bottle I don't want to run out too soon until my next script fill, so I just took one this morning, and I am analyzing to see exactly what the effects are. What I hav...

My brother smokes crystal meth almost everyday. we have tried everything to help him stop. nothing has worked. This week when he smoked methamphetamine he has had terrible headaches. told him to stop but he can't. What pain medication can he take over the counter or prescribed that will not interact with crystal meth and affect him more than what his use has affected him already? If there is how long does he have to wait after smoking to take pain medicine?

Looks like a half of moon 28 on same side little round. Peach or light orange ## Hi Cassy, How are you? Based on the description provided, I've identified your pill as a 30mg Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine tablet (generic Adderall), used for ADHD and narcolepsy. This particular pill is reportedly manufactured by Actavis; and that half moon logo is basically their signature stamp. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine Details I hope this helps!

Hey all I smoked. 05gram of meth (half a point) roughly 1120am shortly before work as I felt rather flat, then on the way to work had a motor vehicle accident which was 100%not my fault as I was pulled out in front of and sustained mild to severe chest pains. I was taken to hhospital and blood tested about 12:45. I had smoked 0.15grams 60 hours before Aswell. The blood test is mainly for alcohol but the polite officer said it will show up cannabis and meth etc. Will the meth I had in the morning be detectable and if so how will it show up? I regards to win it indicate a very small presence passable as '2nd hand smoke from entering a room with a few people doing it' or will it be just too much. I didn't start feeling the rush until the hospital due to adrenaline wearing off. ...

My husband is 48 years old. He has adhd problem since he was a kid. Last 7 years his phyciatrist prescribed him Adderal 30mg which helped him a lot to focus and etc, and eventually it helped him a lot in his career. He would have never succeed in his profession without those pills. Last year he was going through mid-life crisis, his father died-he started abusing those pills. Then he became tolerant to them and switched to methamphetamine for one month. After spending 1 month in rehab and being unemployed for 4 months and clean for now-he is trying to find another job, and now he says he can't be productive without adderall-he can't focus on anything, even writing his CV. I don't know what to do. I see he really has ADHD, and he can't be productive without those pills, b...

My fiancé took 4 30mg tablets adderall then took 4 more 30mg tablets of adderall less then 1hr later why did he not overdose or die? He will do this like once a week that I know of. Answers please... ## Hello, Raquel! How are you and your fiance? He may be tolerant to them, if he's been taking high doses for a long period of time. However. this is a stimulant that carries the risk of being habit forming and he is risking overdose, since it can cause elevated heart rate and blood pressure, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke. Thus, he should really get help with this problem. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am prescribed adderall 30mg and have been prescribed this medication for over 6 years now for ADHD. This is the first time I got this kind of pill which threw off and I went back in to the pharmacy and asked if they have given me the wrong medication and they said no that it's a generic brand. Actavis is the maker. I searched the Web and found a pic it took me a long time but I did find one. You have to type peach 30mg adderall and search the images and it's there. I hope this helps!!!!!! ## Hi cozy, How are you? Thanks for sharing the info on that peach adderall tablet. I don't see how the pharmacist would've made such a big mistake on the prescription, but I hear those kinds of things actually do happen on rare occasions, so I think it's good that you took a mome...

I need help in order to help my friend. She has been using methamphetamine for about 5 years and is now admitting that she wants to stop entirely. She says she hates it and is using it only to stop the withdrawal pains, not to feel high (she says she gets terribly sick). She has gone from being a daily user to taking a hit once every 2 or three days as needed when the symptoms arise. She never looks high, always eats, sleeps well, works every day and is determined to quit completely. She has told me she is using the taper method (gradually using less over a longer period of time), and that has helped a little, but the sickness still comes. Her goal is to reduce the use enough that the withdrawal symptoms won't take as long to overcome and she can be meth-free. My question as a non u...

Looking to get my amphetamine salt combo 20 mg 60 ct prescription free till I get insurance in a month ## Hello, Tristen! How are you? I'm sorry, but there are no current coupons available, since this is also available as generic, which is already cheaper in price. The best suggestion I can make is to check with several of your local pharmacies to see who offers the cheapest price. This medication may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, weight loss and anorexia. Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?

can you get fired from your job for insufflating adderall and i'm prescribed this medication ## Hi Monkey, How's it going? Concerning your question about intranasal use potentially getting you fired, I don't think anyone else from your work place is going to be suspicious about whether or not you're taking your medication inappropriately, unless of course they know that you're on it and you give them reason to believe that it's affecting the quality of your work. That said, nothing I'm seeing states that intranasal use is quote on quote "against the law", but none-the-less, that type of behavior isn't tolerated in any work place I'm aware of. Is this something you do at your desk in between breaks? Lol How else would they know? ## my boss call...

Found these pills and package says they are from the phillipines. ## Hi Robyn, Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm seeing online is a white round pill imprinted with "A|B" on one side and "CG" on the other. I don't know if this is what yours may be like as well, but this particular tablet is identified as 10mgs of Ritalin (Methylphenidate), for treating ADHD & narcolepsy. The manufacturer is reported to be Novartis (which doesn't appear to be a US-based company). Are the letters on your tablet also split between a score line?

I currently take 20mg of adderall for my adhd. I recently had my aortic valve replaced with a calf valve. My adderall doesn't seem to have the same effects anymore. Could the valve possibly be the reason? ## It's very doubtful! How long have you been taking this dosage? Your body may just have gotten tolerant to it. Are you on any other medications? ## I have been on this dose for at least 2-3yrs. But it just started to "not work" as well. I am currently on a baby aspirin, and toprol xl. When i talked to my dr about the dosage not working for me anymore, she told me i am on the max dose...Which i know is bulls***! Lol
