Folks, this stuff is amphetamine, i.e. SPEED, nothing else but some time-release effect. I take it but a SMALL dose, like 5 mg/day. I am a chemist and know a lot about this in terms of chemistry and history. The whole trade-name thing is just to avoid the negative association with SPEED, but make no mistake, it is the SAME THING and has the same positive and negative effects. 20 mg is commonly prescribed but for most, this is WAY TOO MUCH and will get you addicted and you will be ragged out at the end of the week. Personally, I recommend not using on weekend and consider alternatives instead of long-term use. I think putting kids on it is crazy sh*t except in rare cases. You can open the capsules, pour out like 1/4 of the contents and take that for your dose if you want to try less. Try this just to get some positive effects but to avoid most of the negative. If you are taking sleeping pills or tranquilizers to sleep, or to take the edge off the nervousness/anxiety from the amphetamine, then LOOK OUT, you are headed for trouble, my friend. Reduce dose and consider alternatives. Try Eleuthero esp if male, more sleep, meditation.
Good luck to you.
If you think you may be addicted to pills, try AA or NA.

I was recently prescribed Adderal XR, and am taking the general D-Amphetamine Salt Com.
I started the medicine yesterday, and so far I feel fine outside of an intense pain followed by nausea. Though I'm not worried about immediate side-effects I am worried about long term. I've read so much on this medicine, and knowing my side-effects from taking Ritalin LA when I was little, I'm worried. Is there anything I can do to prevent the insomnia and loss of appetite from getting really bad? And what should I do if my psychological condition worsens...?

In other words, overtime when you take Adderall, your glucose levels are now what was normal a while back when you first start. Additionally, your glucose levels drop below normal when you are not taking the Adderall. Therefore, unless you continue to increase the does (which at a point becomes dangerous), you actually begin to become hungrier when it wears off then you were before you started.One way to increase the glucose levels is to eat food. Adderall increases your glucose levels artificially by stimulating the production of epinephrine (adrenaline) in your which then mobilizes your stored glucose. In the short term, you lose weight. Nevertheless, you have just artificially increased your glucose levels, so your body only thinks it is full.but any ways that when she tryed me on xr and they were way to much for me as i exsplained early in this comment and i had to talk to her about that 2 finaly so finaly with in the last couple of month i had to change addys to get the pink 1 i needed and know i feel like i did when i first started them i fell good about my self i have lost 10 bl in the last 2 weeks and i dont have to take 5 any more just 3 but know i dont have to take m sleeping med any more either i can rest and wake up in the morning no more headack and no more having to worry that it going make u crash be cause they dont even my sex life started getting back to were it used to be when we first meet and boy am i surprised am not prego lol so really ppl if the orange or blue or caps arant working try to call around to diff pharmacys to see if they have the pink 1 or ask ur doctor to make shur ur getting the script for regular adderall be cause the pink pill is the genaric form for it and am telling u ppl it the 1 h have nown to work the best las t all day , no head acks u can eat if u want but dont have to and with in 15 min it hits u ans by the time u wan tto go to bed u can am happy iam hoping by the time i lose the weight i gain i can lower it back to taking 2 a day and not 3 an about adderall it can make ur hair weak and teeth rot and ur nails breetal i recommend useing hair strangthener and heath plus tooth past crest enamle protection ,i also use listorin the puple kind to rinse help with asid and for ur nails well used nail stranght and growth i hope this all come to u as news and if u cant sleep try taken like 5 mg less or may be 10 mg eat heather and stay active hope this info mation come to help some ppl

M.Amphet salts 20MG I noticed they were not working as well or as long as the name brand. How can the be called generic if the do not work the same? I got generic because I can't afford the name brand. Now am stuck with them.

Prescribed stated the amphetamine salts are identical to Adderall. That is incorrect. FDA allows generics to have only 80% of the medication not to mention the fact that generics can use different fillers which is why so many people are having a hard time with the Barr generics. They suck! When I had insurance I use to take the original Adderall manufactured by Shire. They decided to sell out to Barr and the difference is not only noticeable in the texture but the taste (is now really sweet and tastes like aspartame) but also in its effectiveness. I was doing great on the Shire generic adderall. I also was told by CVS pharmacist and Osco pharmacist that they are identical to the Brand name (pharmacists push the Barr because they all have a contract now with Barr and they get a cut of sales!) Well not so. The pills did nothing to really help me concentrate nor focus and felt like a dirty high. The dr said to give them a little more time and wouldn't you know I got into such a bad state of mind. I not only became depressed but I thought I was going crazy. Dr took me off and am now on Dexedrine by Glaxo. There really isn't anything that works well for my ADD but the original Shire Aderall or the Shire generic. So don't let anyone foll you into believing that generics are identical.

I am 25 and recently developed symptoms indicating possible ADHD, anxiety, and or depression. I have been given an SSRI among other meds to help control this. Nothing seems to work as well as the generic brand of Adderall. I was a bit disapointed to know that I was getting generic since I know from my class that it does not always work as well as name brand due to the fact that even though it contains the same amount of active ingredient, the fillers and pill form are almost always different which can affect the way your body absorbs and reacts to it. I am satisfied with this medication though. It seems to pick me up and help keep the million things running through my head in order (even though they are still running a mile a minute!) All I can say to those that it is not working for is, I'm sorry that it does not work well for you and maybe you should talk to your doc about getting a different medication. Just because the generic of this sucks for you does not mean that the generic of another wont work well (and still be covered by insurance) I just hope that this continues to be as helpful as it is now so I do not have to keep switching meds to find the right one for me.

I am a 50 year old white male with I have comorbid bipoloar II and ADD. The ADD was Dx'd about 2 years ago. Bipolar was Dx'd 22 years ago. I have been taking the D-Amphetamine salts combo for my ADD from the start. I take Depakote and Zyprexa for the BP II. I had been on prozac for a few years, but my doctor took me off of it.The ADD medication has made all the difference in the world in helping me to FINALLY discover just who it is that I really am. I usually have at least one prolonged major-depressive episode every year, usually in the winter. This past winter, however, mean ole Mr Depression failed to make an appearance. I did have some days when I was more or less useless, had no energy for anything except certain things that I selfishly undertook, because it felt so nice to just putter around. I accomplished hardly anything, with the exception of cooking supper every night. Weird, but regardless of my mood---up or down---I always cook supper. Cooking doesn't seem like a chore. Granted, I'm no expert, but I do some decent meals...
But I digress. If this was earlier in the day, when I was medicated and focused, I would never have digressed like that.
I'm pretty sure I've been in a hypomanic state for the last 3-4 months. However, I seem to be pretty creative and I'm reaching goals that I set, not trying to do a million things all in the same week...
I am impressed by the paradoxical calming effect the amphetamine provides. I also take Xanax, almost forgot, but I rarely get super-anxious these days..
I'm curious as to whether the ADD medication is also helping my mood-disorder as well. Full-blown mania and deep, dark depression seem to have taken a break for a while. I used to get anxious about making a phone call, and would actually have to script it out, afraid that I would sound odd and jump from subject to subject. These days, those types of concerns don't even occur to me.
It's really great to go OUT there and just be another person that can actually function without a grand-scheme to guide me.
I am hopeful that the days of intense depressive periods are going to be more and more infrequent. I also haven't been manic, and I've learned to handle my money and control my impulses. I'm not not sure how my med-mix is actually working this out, but things are almost too good to be true. I'll knock on wood and stay true to my doctor's advice. Has anyone gotten almost COMPLETE relief from your particular treatment? It feels weird to NOT feel weird, so-to-speak...

Was just Rx'd Amp. Salts 30mg-1AM-1/2PM. I have Sleep Apnea and use a C-PAP at night, but still continte to fall asleep in the daytimes. Was taking Provigial, but my Medicare Advantage Plaln has to pay over $500 in addition to my $60 contribution and it is going to dump me into the donut hole to fast, along with other meds. I am also Bi-Bolar II. I had to get away from the donut-holle so the aforementioned had to go the wayside. I also think it;s effectiveness is beginning to wane. I am starting to fall asleep again and that would mean my job. But from the comments I am reading, I am going to cut the afternoon dose in half and take 7.5mg and see what happens here. I hate the feeling of trying to audit med charts and continually being on the edge of dreaming. But I also do not want to be stuck on the ceiling!!!!So, I eaten a bit of lunch which I pray I do not vomit. I am a nurse, so I shall report to my doc if necessary. Write back with any advice for me.

Ive been taking adderall and then the generic d-amph. for going on 5 yrs now. i remember the first time i took the 20mg tab I was at work at my computer and i suddenly felt so calm i thought i might be sleepy; but I just continued feeling calm. It was the first time i didnt feel tense; anxious and paranoid. i was able to focus at meetings and actually take part in discussions. this medication really helped me control my restlessness, anxiety and helped me to stop trying to multi-task. In other words, i didnt feel so hyper any more even tho i did feel that my heart beat was more rapid and my pupils were dialated.

I'm prescribe to the 20's. They are very helpful with school and the bad side effects went away after a couple weeks (ie loss of hunger, constipation sometimes). Still have trouble sleeping at times but just pop another one in the AM and your good to go.

Received my generic Adderall by Barr mfg. Dose is 20mg. 3x daily. Never had any adverse reactions until this dose manufactured by Barr. My mouth gets a weird coating inside, my tongue gets red with painful bumps and my lips get swollen inside. Has anyone experienced this? When I discontinue the med. my symptoms subside within 48 hours.

Martin you are right! It is just baby speed. I only take it when I have a big project or if I have study for a test. I t will keep you up all night and will make you look ragged. I think people should half it, if they have too. Does anyone have trouble with there back after about 6 hours of taking the medication? I do - maybe I am doing too much around the house. I cleaned out the garage in one whole day. Thanks - for the reply or send by way of e-mail

I just started taking d- amphetamine salt combo 20 mg tablets twice a day but I've been mostly taking just one a day. I'm pretty sure im adhd because I forget stuff all the time forget what Im talking about, get distracted easily lose my train of thought or forget what I'm doing. I'm really anxious all the time and I fidget with everything . So I went to a physciatrist and she prescribed me this stuff and I just dont trust it. it might be making my bloodpressure high so I'm supposed to take my blood pressure, take the medicine then take my blood pressure again an hour later. and today was the first day of doing that and it was like 130 ove 83 the first time then it was like 44 over 90 the second time so needless to say I'm a little concerned. and my stomache on it. I always feel so queezy and I've been having some shortness of breathe and a few minor headaches. I havent started school again so I'm not sure if its helping my focus but I just feel kinda light headed and sick on it and I don't know if this is the answer. oh and the other day I took it and was playing basketball and once I was working out and I felt really wierd and sick I just am a little concerned about this stuff.
