Biphetamine Treatment (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Updated

Originally used for weight reduction--it is available for treatment of ADD. I was originally prescribed it for the former, but found it more effective for treatment of ADD than other drugs such as ADDERALL. If not currently available through your company, can you provide sufficient information for pharmacists to formulate this.

We had biphetamine "black bueaties" well into the 80's in Denver. I would go with my friend to fill his Rx at skaggs and albertsons drug stores in 85' every month. And I never took any but he abused them tremendously.

you all talk like Biphetamines were just wonderful. I for one was forced to take for weights loss. I have been messed up ever since. 3rd thru 12th grade-9 years, has taken its toll. I have not been able to take a no- drowsy med since. This is really hard. So many script meds contain ingredients I have reaction too.
I cannot even take a benedryl . Makes me sleep for 30 mins then wired.
What I want to know is if others have this problem.
Thanks

I am 71 and had the exact same experience. Went through graduate school successfully in the early 70's after being prescribed for weight control. I too good not have been able to do so without it. In my 50's was prescribed Adderall fpr ADD, but it had a negative effect. I,too, have wondered if age had anything to do with it. I even searched for the same effect in illegal drugs, but this caused the predictable problems.

The 18-875 was a small black capsule that had a square with a triangle in the middle of the square. The numbers beside the square were 18-875. I used to get them in 1980 but were outlawed shortly after. I am prescribed Desoxyn and Adderall since that day for ADHD. No comparison to the Pennwalt "BLACK BEAUTY"!

Why is it , that if an adult chooses to use a substance , that happens to be controlled, or banned, that it is no longer use but becomes abuse?

My Girlfriends mother was still getting prescriptions for black beauties (Biphetamine 20) in 1979. We all lived in Southern Cal and we're all getting prescriptions we should not have been getting because we weren't overweight. I personally like the Preludes better (BI 62)

Dex for dexedrine long-acting capsules. Both ends black and perhaps 10 for the amt of mg.

They haven't been around since 1982; but ARE still being manf.
They're half black & half clear? I think...

This only pertains to the original Dexedrine caps & original manufacturer. Now with generics; they're more like white large-ish discs for 10mg regular release. Hard to know with all the generics these days!

Re: Verwon (# 5) Expand Referenced Message

Do you mean to say that Adderall provides the same effects, including appetite suppression and euphoria as black beauties? I certainly doubt it.

I'm one who wants them back. The couple of years I was regularly on biphetamine were BY FAR the best years of my life.

Biphetamine was NOT the same as Adderall! first of all Biphetamine was a 50/50 mix between d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine, where as Adderall is 75% d-amphetamine and only 25% l-amphetamine.

second of all, Biphetamine used a Strasionic ion exchange resin complex that allowed a smooth, controlled 12-14 hours of effects.

whether it's ice, crank, Vyvanse, Desoxyn, Adderall, or whatever - you will never find speed as smooth as Biphetamine was.

I believe that this drug is related directly to Adderrall, right? In fact it contains the exact same chemical ingredients (Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine). A listing is available at Biphetamine.asp. Hope this helps...

I have recently been started on Adderall after a period of several years. About 30 years ago, before ADD for adults was even considered, I was prescribed Biphetamine for weight control. I successfully went through graduate school on this (I probably couldn't have done so without it.), but then was without it for many years. A few years ago, I was finally diagnosed with ADD (no H) and was never very comfortable on it, i.t., jittery, etc. Recently I was started on Adderall again with some of the same symptoms. When I took the Biphetamines, it was in capsule form (street name: black beauty) and was very comfortable on it. Do you suppose the difference is my age or is the Biphetamine released at a slower rate? Is it still produced in a black capsule at 30 mg.?
