As you'll know, I have been paying $600 a month for Focalin because my insurance won't help with script cost. No one on this site was able to help, but through my own research, I finally found the one person in Medicare who researched for a program that helped with Focalin! What a relief. Insurance per month @$48 & script $35...hey, that is wwaaayyy better than $600. Thanks anyway for listening. ## That is great news Thana, thank you for sharing this information. Do you have any details which you could post back so that others with a similar challenge would be able to contact them? Feel free to post a reply or a new discussion if you have anything else to add, or any other questions. ## Why waste money on Focalin when Ritalin is the same thing? It just contains the active as...

Ok- (believe it or not lol) I am a very fit, athletic female....and methamphetamine indulger as it were... I weigh 116 lbs, 5'4" with BMI of 19 and body fat = %16 I smoked close to a gram yesterday and will likely have ua today. I know this is grabbing at the wind- but with my metabolism, extra sweat/exercise, tons of water (maybe baking soda/zinc sulfate?), has anyone ever heard of being able to test at least a "slight" (still unfavorable) negative??

I smoked methamphetamine this morning but now I have to go do a cps requested ua. I drank absolute detox xxl like its directed. Will I pass or fail? ## My friend is a heavy meth user and has been for years .today cps came and told her she has to test tomorrow.... is there anything she can do to pass her test ## Did u ever get advice or an answer?? I'm in the same boat and need help!!

Peach in color 953 on top of scored pill number on bottom missing With logo of pic of a b or p or 9 or 6 I don't know is it an adderral ## Based on the description provided, I found your pill to be Dextroamphetamine sulfate (10 mg). I can't post a photo due to copywrite reasons, however this particular pill is round; peach; with "953" above a score line on one side and the number "10" below it. On the other side of the pill is a lower-case "b" that could resemble the 6 or 9 you mentioned in your description. Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Dextroamphetamine sulfate (an active ingredient found in Adderall) is a psychostimulant drug approved for the treatment of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

Forensic Science - The Case Study of Mehtamphetamine - GS/MS Drug Confirmation Machine is Not Perfect This is coming from a well respected criminal forensic attorney in the USA and it is an ongoing reference for criminal and family law attorneys on educating themselves on Forensic Science because of all the false convictions. It's going to save a lot of people that are having false positives due to their medications that are not being seperated in the GS/MS confirmation test. The lawyers are basically too lazy to keep with the suffistacated chemistry of the New Age because they do not have to. They didnt learn chemistry in law school and they just go off of conscious editing (over reporting) of the scientific truth. The confirmation machine cannot seperate stereoisomers so to say th...

Concerned with the side effects of this drug for an 8 year old. Behavior has reverted to about a three year old. Can't do the simplist of things by himself anymore and has begun messing in his pants almost daily. Is this drug meant for child? ## Call his dr. Sometimes the dosage may need to be reduced or he may need to be on a different medication.

My son is 9 years old and is on Concerta 27mg for concerntration but is still battling with his emotions and is very anxious. The Doctor has recommended 10 mg of Tripolene at 6pm in evening, does this sound suitable for his age and condition, I was giving him Melatonin to help him sleep as the Concerta was keeping him awake, should the Tripolene help with sleep as well as the Melatonin has become a schedule 4 drug and I would like to stop giving it to him ## I highly recommend guanfacine or clonidine. They're commonly prescribed with stimulants for ADHD. In my experience, they relieve stimulant-induced sleeplessness and have a mild anti-anxiety effect. Guanfacine is probably preferable for ADHD, but they're both pretty similar. Once-daily formulations are available, but they...

How long before Adderall, Vicodin, Oxycodone, Concerta clear my system for a urinalysis? And are vicodin and oxycodone related drugs? (Opiates, for the purpose of a screen?) Would consumption of pickle juice, and alot of water help in flushing system for minimal and not habitual doses? ## All of the medications you mentioned are detectable for 4 to 5 days, after use for a standard urine test and yes, on a standard test, it would just detect the presence of opiates, not the specific ones, so the Hydrocodone in the Vicodin and the Oxycodone would both show up as the same thing. Increasing your water intake can help, but you shouldn't overdo it, either and I am sorry, but I have no information on using pickle juice and I can't help but think it wouldn't taste very good, either....

Cvs normally have me the peach oval aderall 30.mg but this time they filed my perception with a white octagon pill with m on one side and 30 on the other side ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? It is normal for your pharmacy to sometimes provide the medication from a different manufacturer, depending on who was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to restock their supply. But this is the correct medication, it contains 30mgs of Mixed Amphetamine salts, it's a generic for Adderall. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

My granddaughter been on this medicine for 4 months. She have loss almost all her hair, it is less than 1in. How can I help her I am not going to give her this medicine anymore. ## Hello, Madeline! How is that little lady doing? Yes, that can be a rare side effect of Adderall, because it can affect the blood flow to the scalp. She will most likely need to switch to a different medication. Has her pediatrician been consulted about this? Once a switch is made, her hair should grow back.

i took 100mg of pink cor 135 in 24 hour ## How are you? Did you suffer any adverse effects? That could be very dangerous, this is a generic for Adderall, so that could cause dangerously elevated heart rate and blood pressure. That puts you at risk of a heart attack or stroke. Can you please post back and let me know how you're doing?

My son is 6yo and started taking Intumiv two weeks ago. Started at 1mg and now we're at 3mg. It is working great for his ADHD and behavioral aggression but he is waking up in the middle of the night 3-5 times and staying awake saying he can't sleep. Sometimes he wakes up screaming and crying like in a panic but can't really express what's wrong. Since it's summer and he is having such bad nights I let him sleep and he sleeps like a rock from about 6am till 11am. I even made him wake up early and not nap thinking that was the problem but we got the same night time results. He is also wetting the bed several times a week which is totally abnormal. Any advice would be great! ## Hello, Kristina! How is he doing? This medication can cause most of these as side effects, in...

Need a Dr who prescribes Ritilan in Tulsa OK.. ## Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the fastest way to find the help you need. Ritalin carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area? ## I do not know where the idea is coming from that you have to see a specialist to be treated for ADHD or chronic pain, but it is not true. There may not be a lot of PCP's who will do it, but there are some out there. If there is a ADHD group ...

Hi, Desoxyn is not discontinued! Or I just got ripped off by my drug store today! 3/13/2006. Only is available in 5mg. doses. For ADD / ADHD or Narcolepsy. Also for obesity but I never heard of any one getting it for that. I am 180 lbs. Dosage that works best for me Is 25 mg. 2 X Day. Some will tell you to use more. I think much more is bordering on abuse, instead of therapy. I have ADD & Narcolepsy! ## No it's not discontinued it's made by Ovation Pharmeceuticals. I think the name just changed but you can locate it under that. Good luck getting it. I have the severest case of ADHD ever documented in Washington State and none of the stimulants work half as good as Desoxyn and I can't get it. I could if I wanted to pay the $1000+ for it myself. Yeah right! Let me know how...

can i fill a prewritten prescription of adderall 2 days help plz ## Hello, David! How are you? It would really be up to the pharmacy, they do have a little discretion, but it is very doubtful, since it is a controlled substance. Learn more Adderall details here. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with? ## it depends on the state. In my state, I am often 4 or so days early and the law is that it has to be 85% consumed. Unless it is a vacation override, dose increase or different stimulant or form. I can get 90 day supplies here too. My klonopin has been 6 days early before and they never cared.

my 8yr. old grandson takes vyvanse, he has been on it for almost two years, sometimes he is focused and other times he isn't....................then there are the silly times which lately seems to be a lot at school.................just plain acting silly. the very odd time he has been aggressive..............then I find it goes up and down with reference to his actions...................overall, I guess it is working, there are times when he suffers from stomach pain and I know this is a side affect, I find it suppresses his appetite too along with his growth which I am not happy about. He says kids call him short at school as they are getting taller and he isn't. Just how much does this drug affect their growth. ## I am 30 and just began Vyvanse. HOWEVER as a child I took Rita...

i got these pills that are suppose to be generic adderall. one side says swift the other is just a score. The packet says its made by TEVA. they are 30 mg and do absolutely nothing. They are from India. Has anyone ever had anything that fits the description? ## Hello, Lorelle! How are you? No, that's not a logo used by Teva, as far as I'm aware and I can't find any tablets listed anywhere with such a marking. One of the hazards of obtaining medications from a foreign, non-approved source is the fact that you have no way of knowing what they may send you. Does anyone else recognize these tablets? I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. ## My speckled bluish "Swift" pills with a score and no other imprint arrived from India yesterday. ...
