It take a while for your system to get used to the medicine. But after taking it a while those things stopped for me. My blood pressure will do the same thing after I have taken mine in the morning, but it usually wears off after a little while. Sounds to me like that is what yours is doing. And the reason yours gets so low is because your takeing the blood pressure meds. I would talk with my Dr. if I was you about not taking the blood pressure med. for a while to see if it is really needed.

I just started this generic form yesterday and it sucks. The symptoms you're describing seems pretty common. I've been reading up on it all day long, and am now suffering through the naseau and the chills. The problem with a generic form is that the FDA requires only 80% of the active ingredients compared to that of the Brand name; it's not even the same drug! Aside from the queasiness, my thoughts have been a bit scattered and I've had a headache all day long. These pink tablets are a terrible substitute, as most people have discovered. My psychiatrist is stating on my prescription that the Adderal is a necessity, and that no supplements can be given. I suggest you try this if your insurance is charging you outrageously for the real thing.

I have been taking amphetamine salt combo 20mg for 1 month. When I first started, my memory really increased, I was able to muli-task and I felt really upbeat. It was great! Towards the end of my first month, my hands began to shake and my memory function was not what it was when I first took this drug. Are there any suggestions? Why is this happening?

I was on the Adderall (XR) 20mg from 2006 for a year, it helped me focus. My heart rate increased, I would sweat more, but I could stay focused and get things done.

I just started it back up only last week, and I think I got the salt combo 20mg XR (Pharm said it was the generic). I took my first pill at around 3pm (as opposed to the morning). The effects were slightly different. I became more focused, but only slightly - - not as a significant of an effect as I had experienced before, meaning, I used to just get tunnel vision on finishing tasks and closing up loose ends, but it wasn't that dramatic this time around.

I felt a slight heart rate increase, but didn't sweat any more (due to body temp rising), and I did get insomnia and appetite suppressed for sure, but there was something else I never experienced or expected: decrease in libido. it never happened prior, but this time I couldn't ejaculate at all. I don't know why this side effect happened now as opposed to my earlier experiences. It's really a downer.

Why are you yelling. BTB, as a nurse, I can tell you that a doc would never say that, especially over the phone. Also, kids are SUPPOSED to be active!!!!!

Ok didn't mean to yell lol but as far as my daughters Dr. She did advised me over the phone because we was in her trial period and she wanted to see what worked for her ........ And when I said my daughter is "ACTIVE" it was because I didn't want to go down the list of her behaviors which she was being disruptive in class , fighting ,showing no self control , she wasn't able to focus on her class work she would fail test even when she knew the work but since she started her pills she have gotten on the honor roll and the teacher loves her .

My daughter have been taking adderall 2 pills a day because one only last about 4 to 5 hours but it works and I like that she don't have to take everyday so being that's its summer I only give it to her when we do study sessions or when I feel she need it and I like that but her doctor think for school she should have the XR and I'm concern that its something that she will have to take everyday to be affective and I like the fact with the adderall she don't have to take it everyday

Niki,
XR [extended release] is the same medication just in a sustained release tablets or capsules. Most likely a capsules. It's simply a time release style of taking the drug so that instead of giving your daughter two a day because as you pointed out one of whatever the dosage you have her now only last for four hours, the XR you will only have to give her once a day in the morning and the sustained release will allow the drug to release in her system at two different times so that the drug has a longer lasting effect (up to twelve hour) and should be a smoother, more enjoyable or at least less noticeable drop off for your daughter as it wears off going into evening. From personal experience, myself and friends of mine only had instant release growing up and when we were younger(grade school) it wasn't to big of deal taking the instant release two or three times a day as far as the drop off after the peaks of the drug. It doesn't matter as much in grade in school the crash after it wares off but when we got to high school and each year you get more homework and need to study for much longer I saw plenty of friends who started taking much more then they were suppose to because they couldn't afford to crash with the workload. I am guilty of it myself but it caught up to us at one point or another and lead to some bigger problems for some of them. So I would strongly recommend getting you daughter on the XR by 7th or 8th grade. Also would recommend not giving her any on sundays or whatever day of the weekend you think best for her.

Taking one and a half of the d amphetamine combo 20 mg. I have a horrible taste in my mouth... Makes certain drinks that I love taste horrible. If I take a dose at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, I still have that horrible taste the next morning. This drug has not always done this. Would extended release possibly be better, or I wonder if I should just take 1 instead of 1 and a half... I plan to call my doctor but want feedback of others.

I started taking D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 20mg Tab tomorrow will be a week! I am AMAZED at how different I've been. I immediately noticed a change. I'm so energized and able to actually focus on reading, a movie, a conversation and to accomplish my daily choirs which by the way I'VE been having a awful time for years doing. I'm so thankful for the OLD me to be back. I'm so thankful the Dr. put me on this. I'm not trying to fall asleep behind the wheel of a car!! That in itself is a miracle. I don't have any negative side effects yet. I can't believe how much better I feel. I really am impressed with this medicine and can't thank My Dr. enough. My family and friends can tell a big difference in me also their all happy for me! Just wanted to share!!!

Lisa,
I take XR 30 mg and have that weird taste. It isn't as bad as it was the first few weeks I started on the drug. I do still notice it from time to time but it doesn't last as long. Also I started brushing my teeth an extra time a day and making a point to brush my tongue a little longer. Don't have an answer on if switching up your dose or if going to XR will help. My opinion is that the results of the drug are more important then that side effect. As you're already aware there's always gum, mints, etc. If it's irritating you to the point of being unbearable it's one thing. Interfering with the taste of drinks you love or waking up with that taste in your mouth isn't that bad compared to the other side effects some people deal with. Almost everyone has a trade off that goes along with taking this kind of drug between getting the results that improve their life or capabilities and having to cope with any given side effect to obtain those results. Nature of the beast. Hope your Doctor can find a solution for you and not a lecture I doubt you needed about the nature of beast like I just did.

If you cant sleep then you are taking to high of a dosage for you and if you lower it you'll be able to sleep and the other symptoms will probably also stop but if not i would stop taking it.
