Im taking generic adderall xr 15 possibly going up to xr 20 in a few days i have insurance but doesnt cover it all. Im looking for a coupon i can use along with my insurance every month. Please heelpppp ## Unfortunately, since it is available as a generic and isn't considered a life sustaining medication, there are no coupons currently available for this medication.. Learn more Adderall details here. The best suggestion I can make is that you ask at your regular pharmacy to see if they participate in any of the discount card programs that may save you a few dollars. Most of them are free and the cards can be obtained by simply signing up online at a website. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Adderall XR for about 7 years for narcolepsy. I have always taken 10 mg each morning; and recently my doctor increased my perscription to 5-15 mg per day, so that I was given 5 mg. capsules and had the option of taking an extra 5 mg each day. I find everyday I am tried by lunch and have a hard time staying awake, so I take that extra 5 mg. capsule around 1:00 in the afternoon. But sometimes by taking that extra 5 mg I get a really bad headache, and to be honest I still am tired. Would it be better to take the full 15 mg in the morning? I just have never taken that much at once and was afraid to try it. Any advice would be appreciated. ## It is available in a 15mg dose to be taken at once, as a matter of fact it goes up to 30mgs, so it likely won't hurt to try, sin...

I recently had to have a blood allergy test. I have had two skin allergy tests in the past, both of which tested positive. I am a methamphetamine user. the blood allergy test came out negative for allergies. so I'm wondering if it is possible that the methamphetamine made a false negative test result?

What is the Conceva for? ## Regarding Conceva, I am unable to find any specific details on it whatsoever. Did you mean to say 'Concerta' by chance? Concerta contains the active ingredient methylphenidate, which is used as part of a treatment program to control symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate is in a class of medications called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Methylphenidate Details Please post back if you happen to have any additional information to add. I hope this helps!

My son recently started taking Addoral, and I'm noticing slight behavioral changes while taking 10 mg twice a day -- nothing major, just seems more pensive and mellow. While listening to techno music, he asked me to sit in our garage, look to the stars and ponder if there's life out there... I'm curious -- is this typical, and okay? What kind of behavioral changes are typical for this drug? ## It can vary from person to person, but that's really what this medication is intended to do for ADHD patients….IE: mellow them out. However, since it is bringing him down, so to speak, you'd be wise to keep an eye out for any dangerous changes, such as severe depression and suicidal ideation. It isn't typical with this medication, but some slight risk is always there ...

can i no why cold act tablet banned from India. Please let me know ## Hello, I'm not sure if the information I'm finding is referring to a specific country or if it's just in general. But from what I could gather, over the counter sales of cold tablets which use the methamphetamine precursors "ephedrine and pseudoephedrine" are said to be banned soon under a new parliament. Although they are effective cold remedies, the reason behind the ban is that these ingredients are used for the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine; and when the bill becomes law the tablets which use them will then be available by prescription-only. Perhaps there may be other underlying reasons behind this ban in India, but you would have to confirm this with your local pharmacy for more detai...

Are you aware of any discount programs or assistance for free d-amp..? I just ran out of my prescription, and I am unable to refill it due to the high cost. ## HI, Eric! How are you? Sorry about the problem you're having. But no, this is a generic medication, so it is cheaper by its very nature, thus there is no assistance program for it. Additionally, the name brand, Adderall, also has no coupon or prescription program available at this time, since there is a generic available now. Learn more Adderall details here. The best suggestion I can make is to ask at your pharmacy and see if they honor any discount programs, there are many available from various sources that are usually free and can save you anywhere from 10 to 75% on some prescriptions.

Hi! I've been using vyvanse for about 5 months now, and i'm pretty sure i reached some level of dependence. when i'm off i don't crave for it nor i think it changes my mood (maybe cause i'm also on a mood-stabilizer med), but when i stop taking vyvanse i have absolutely no energy. i'm on vacation now and my doctor is not prescribing it to me during this time, but i want to enjoy my free time, go out and do fun things but i have no energy so i can't really enjoy anything i'm doing. coffee and red bull has no effect on me anymore. i wonder if anyone ever went through it and how long did it take for you to go back to normal? i have 2 ritalin prescriptions and i might just buy it cause i really don't wanna spend my vacations like that.

do they make a Adderall 25mg in a yellow capsule ## Hi, Tracey! Are there any markings on it? That is what would enable me to identify it for you. I was just searching through images in a prescription drug databases and the only 25mg Adderall capsule I've found so far is an XR one that is orange and white with the marking on it of ADDERALL XR 25 mg.

I found a white pill with blue specks on it. It has a imprint A then it has a score (carved line) then 195 I think it might be adepix but I looked that up and those pills say adepix on them. So what do I have?? ## Hi Boscobella, The closest match I've been able to find is Pemoline (18.75 mg). It is a white round pill with the imprint A 197 on the front and nothing on the back. There is a score in between the A and the 197. Manufacturer: Actavis Pemoline is a stimulant drug of the oxazoline class. It was first synthesized in 1913 but its activity was not discovered until the 1930's. Under the names Betanamin, Cylert, Tradon, and Ceractiv it was used as a medication to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Under the Convention on Psychotropic Substa...

Orangey brown with ru 20 on one side and a pac man looking symbol on the other side ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could find is a round white pill that has "RU" with a slash (score line) through it on one side, and a "20" underneath. This particular pill is believed to be Rubifen, another brand name for Methylphenidate or Ritalin. Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant drug approved for treatment of ADHD or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and narcolepsy.

red pill with white line thru the middle. the initials th on it ## Hi renee, The closest match I've been able to identify is Cylert (pemoline)- (18.75 mg) Manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. It is a white round pill with the imprint TH on the front as well as a score line through the middle. This could very well be your pill, but maybe with a different amount of the active ingredient- or it could've been manufactured by a different pharmaceutical company. Pemoline is a stimulant drug of the oxazoline class. It was first synthesized in 1913 but its activity was not discovered until the 1930s.

I take 34 mg concerta. Will this show up in chain of custody blood test? does a false positive mean positive? ## I don't know what you mean by a chain of custody blood test. Could you please clarify? As to the Concerta, it contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate and can be detected on tests that look for it, though not all do. And a false positives means that there was a positive result that should not have happened and is not accurate. An example would be someone taking Morphine, but getting a positive drug test result for Oxycodone, instead of Morphine. They are related medications and this has been known to happen.

Almost three weeks ago I began taking redotex with the hopes of loosing weigh along with exercise and changing my eating habits. So far lost 5 pounds (yay!) anyway I got sick last week and took Pentrexyl for a throat infection. Of course I stopped the Redotex for the past week. The last time I took Pentrexyl was four days ago. Is it safe to begin redotex again? I have sketchy feelings about having both the antibiotic still in my system and taking this crazy diet pill . Please help! How long does Pentrexyl last in the body? ## I decided to run an interaction check between each of the ingredients listed in Redotex and that of Pentrexyl. Based on my research, there aren't any drug interactions listed between the two medications. So in my honest opinion it should be safe to use them bot...

Long, kind of roundish pill, I know its not concerta 27mg, its something else. Found it in my girlfriends room and she never had to take any pills for anythign before. I'm a bit worried as to it might be Ritalin like what was said in previous forums, I can't seem to find an answer. So, the description, Blue/Grey colored, but more Grey than Blue, long, rounded a bit, but not like a concerta pill, and has "N" printed on one side, and "27" on the other.

Does anyone have a problem with Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO Blue Covering their script? ## So far,I haven't found an insurance that will help with script?...am still researching. ## i was recently diagnosed with adult adhd and experienced the same problem. My dr wanted to prescribe me Vyvanse b/c I have insomnia w/o taking any meds and most of the stimulants keep you up but Vyvanse wears off around 8 hrs or so. Anyway, blue cross blue shield said I was "too old" to be prescribed the medicine and needed to get a pre-authorization. The pharmacist told me they usually take a long time to approve it. I went back to my pdoc and she gave me Focalin instead. They don't cover this either but the generic was only $45 vs the Vyvanse which was $205. I only took it for one day so far...

This month my Focalin dosage was raised to 60mg and I had to pay $609. My insurance won't help at all. Is it worth changing my insurance? ## I have no idea what type of insurance plan you have, nor what others may be available to you. I suggest you do some research and see which plans you can get and what they will cover. ## I have my regular insurance from the school distrist I taught in. And I just turned 65: Medicare won't help either. I am still researching. ## see reply 2 to: Focalin And Insurance ## I have no insurance and pay out of pocket. My doctor prescribed me the generic form of Focalin; dexmethylphenidate and it cost $38.00 out of pocket at CVS. ## go figure

so ive been on Vyvnse for 2 months now, started at 30mg then to 50mg, then 60mg basically after 3 weksof each, 60 mg was working perfect, but I still had no patience to read longer then a few sentences. but I lied everything else it fixed. I went from sleeping 14 hours to 5 hours, can look people in the eye, remember lectures, be confident around people etc. but after a month, I thnk I got greedy, I thought 70 mg would fix my patience fr reading and fix the feeling of anxiety that people thought I was weird or awkward, it seems the more energy I gave, the better my mind can focus, the better I can speak, but 70mg after 3 days is making me a repeating record and I lfeel a crash after 5 hours, tired etc, 60 mg didnt do this and I was sleeping less. 70 mg Im sleeping 13 hours or s these pa...
