I just started taking the general adderal pill 20mg. Im not really sure if its working or if i need to take it more consistent. When I'm off it, it feels like if my adhd is worse or I might of been like that all the time, and probably now Im noticing the difference. When i take the pill I dont really feel alot of concentration. There are times where it fades away and then when im performing a task it goes back on. My doctor tells me to cut the pill in half, and take 10mg in the morning, and the other 10mg later in the afternoon. Should I take just 1 20mg pill and see how that works? or not a good idea. I thought it will give me an intense focus. but it dosent seem so. Some side effects i get from it, is that I feel calmer and and i dont get that impulsiveness, sometimes i even feel sleepy, other times i feel a bit hyper. I also have loss of appetite. Should I just take one pill of 20mg instead of cutting it in half. I only have a week with the pills. Or should I continue taking them as prescribed and see if anything changes?

Adderall is a time release med. 12 hours. Since it's a time release, I can't understand why he would won't you on a stimulant while you are trying to sleep??

Well, i sure had the suboxone withdraw wrong, it took a month to hit ( which confused the Hell out of the shrink) dec 1-8th were the most painful days of my life. I was literally about to go postal on me or someone. I am still having withdrawal symptoms but not as bad. Come to find out, first Dr Drug took me off clonapin, & i found out the hard way thats not so good. & he didnt have that drug in my records. So my new Dr wasnt aware of it..
Today i saw her, she gave me ativan, a different dose of adderal 50 instead of 60, GABA ( which has me wound up, and giddy, not what it is supposed to do), she cut my xanex to 1 mg a day & tramadol(?) to help me sleep. All this, just to get off 4 loratabs a day.. I want to beat these bastards to death. & because the first Dr Drug never had me medically tested. I find out that i'm severly anemic, so vitamin d deficcient it was scary, i have kidney & liver damage & a spot on my lung. ( priceless )
They cant or wont do anything with a PET scan until i am further removed from the drugs..new Dr says she is helping down as safely & quickly as possible.
I think i dont know what to think..
Who the Hell monitors these people, the lung dr's drug list for me was all wrong, my GP had a bad list & my new shrink has a bad list..they are all connected to the same medical records system. I just dont get it, I'm a college educated successful business woman, how did I let them convince me i was so jacked up & mental?
I have so many drugs, that all sound alike because they are generic, I'm not sure 1/2 the time what i am taking and why..
I know this, once I am off this s***, I am done with Dr's, especially quack ass ( med management)@$350.00 for a 15 minute session.. It is all about the money & quotas.. Makes you long winded, sorry!

People this medicine works well for people with AADHD, which is the adult version. Although I've never taken anything as a child teen or even in my 20s-mid 30s. I'm a healthcare worker and some of the education I aquired was in the psych field, learning ab the sign&symptoms of numerous neurological disorders/anomalies while ADHD is not necessarily concidered a disease in is very dibilitating for those with extreme cases. The sad thing is that most children and adults with this disorder suffer from other disorders like oppositional defiant disorder and display frustration as well as anger management problems which Are secondary effects of ADHD. Having problems with organization and even exp difficulty concentrating cause they seemingly are multitaskers( seemingly) they start doing mult activities and never finish 1. Tardiness and what appears like disregard for time are common with ADHD sufferers. I also learned there are several life changing activities of daily living that if modified can help w/o having to take medication. Some are a regular execise program low carb diet with emphasis on eating protein, not over doing it but def healthy leves of protein. Having a steady regimen and sticking to it. Waking up, going to sleep and a constant work or school schedule, suffers don't do we'll with spontaneous schedules. Being neat and always leaving things in the same place, not necessary the right place , for example if they leave their keys in the same place every day and no 1 moves them, it will become habit and habitual repetition helps day to day. Now I'll give you my story. All my life in school I hated English class, they would ask you to read a passage silently or do a task and 3 mins into it I was thinking of something else and had to start reading all over again cause even though I had gotten ten lines down , for the last 6 my mind was on something else and I didn't understand what I read, which intern made me hate reading and worse when the teacher would ask me a question about the reading I couldn't answers which made me look stupid and frustrated/ embarrassed me in front the class which didn't understand why I couldn't answer and thought I was just plain Dumb. That frustration cause me to not participate in class and since my attention span was so terrible I was always frustrated. The worse was trying to get ready in the morning, since my mother would put everything away like my shoes my keys etc, in the morning it would take me for ever to get ready, looking for 1 thing I would start doing something I was prob doing the day or night before. Took for ever to get ready. If the tv was on forget it. I was diagnosed with it at around the time I was in jr high, back then they had Ritalin, which had a negative stigma for me bc only kids that were real trouble makers who through chairs in class were rude to teachers and violent at times with others, were known to take it. Aside from that I was anti drugs, never done drugs except for the occasional social alcoholic beverage. When I was in college and I read/learned more about it, I took steps to change my life for the better. But through the years with changes in schedules, jobs, relationships ( people I actually lived with) it would fluctuate but I was able to cope, now as far as tardiness. I've never been on time in my life to anything, until I actually started on the medication. A few years Ago I went into what is called a PRN position or as needed. I had to work when called at what ever time of the days w same day notice some time and usually not in the same place. This threw everything off, my work out schedule I literally stopped for 3 years and coupled with my new live in GF who would move everything making it difficult to get out of the house, eating fat food or what ever she ever, I found myself lost. Every day I would come back into the house on an average of 4times cause I had forgotten something. This was every time or I would leave with out thing and have to go back or do w/o. It really hit an all time high when I couldn't even concentrate long enough to document, for those of you who are not in healthcare, that means no $. Documentation is everything in healthcare and medical field alike. Bc of the level of the lack of ability to get it done, I found my self sometimes months behind, which is detrimental for what I do. I finally realize I couldn't do it my self bc of the irratic schedules of work so I gave in and went to see the Dr. I was perscribe 20mg bid , or 2 x daily. The first day I was like a kid in the biggest toy store in the world, I accomplished so much that day that not only did I finish the day early but even started to clean up and schedule things out. After the excitement I literally cried bc I couldn't believe that on my best day w/I it I was 1/4 of what I was on it. Now I felt like what other people who don't have this s*** feel like. My eyes got watery that night cause I couldn't believe how much this affects you. In 1 month my life entirely changed for the better, I no longer take for ever to get ready or turn back when I leave or any frustration or anger. My attitude even though it was never really that bad improved so much. B4 I would lash out if I couldn't find something now I could focus and learned to take everything in steps 1 at a time, making me way more efficient. I even enjoy reading now and not just things that I have to or like. It's always easier when you like it. Now in college I was a straight A student graduated with a 3.8 but it was extremely hard. What I did for learning things is I focused on learning through the best way or my strongest ability, most people are either auditory, tactile or visual, and in some cases in combination. By finding my strong point, I focused on that type of learning and bought tools and materials that best suited me. I rarely take full dose usually 1 whole 1 split in am and afternoon does it for. I have never felt jitters or palpitations from it. The only thing is that it does suppress my appetite a bit which allows me to be choosy and eat healthier since I have less craving. I do notice that it makes me thirsty more than w/o it. I don't always take unless I need it, all though I will caution you, I've heard that with XR you coul experience mood swings. 1 more thing if you experience palpitations or shortness of breath you are prob not a candidate, and remember it is speed or as refered to in the black market legal cocaine, I strongly urge you to never give it to others as it may cause circulatory prob and or even stroke or heart attack. I've heard of a lot of students taking it to study longer or loose weight, I've also heard from the nurses that treat them in the ER. If you don't have ADHD or the proper diagnosis for it, don't take it

I started this pill on Saturday since apparently I got diagnosed with ADHD as well. I think as soon as I took it 5 minutes later I was cleaning like there was no tomorrow. I have noticed that the energy does come in spurts, when the pill first hits me if I even think of sitting my heart start pounding and I'm unable to handle sitting down. I have noticed I get bad anxiety attacks with the pills i'm shaky. I have noticed a lot of you can concentrate and see things more clearly. I am sorry to say I am not, I have tried and tried to sit and do things I have to get done when on the pill but it just seems that I have to keep moving. I might have to see my Dr. about it and have her change the medication the original script was for aderall just not sure why they gave me this d-amphetamne salt combo I feel like I'm on crack! for 6 hours. The crash is horrible and last night I could not fall asleep and it was 4 in the morning and I was still up .. is anyone else experiencing things like this?

d amphetamine is stronger than Adderall , that is Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, Adderall is a mixture of Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine in different salts (Amphetamine has less euphoria and more of the bad side effects. Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) the brain craves the most next to Dextroamphetamine the most.

Dextroamphetamine is not Adderall. Dexedrine is a VERY different medication for me than Adderall or Vyvanse. I've been on ADHD medication for about 21 years and have tried Dexedrine, Adderall, Vyvanse & Ritalin. Dexedrine is the only one that has ever worked.

It would seem to me that your dose may be to strong. Check with your Dr., I had both side effects. Clean non stop and concentrate to the point i would not budge if on a desk task. No potty breaks, no food breaks etc. i was the energizer bunny einstein. Lol
Dr reduced my mg. now i am back to normal. GL

If you are a college student you will probably stay up all night and really study. It makes some people feel 'zippy'. They are very addicting, not to mention expensive on the open market. My advice, find another way to get where you wanna go. I learned the hard way.

I've used all of the above. Frankly the Adderall XR 30 mg. is the longest sustaining of any. Also you may want to try Desoxyn. aka. Methamphetamine hydrochloride. Typically used for narcolepsy. I can take the Adderall XR and powder it up to put in my coffee she fly like an eagle

It is untrue that the FDA only allows generic drugs to have 80% of the drug content as compared to the brand name medication. All generics must have the same amount of active ingredients as the brand name. The FDA reviews the generic company's manufacturing records to ensure the drug levels are the same, and results must show that the generic has the same potency as the brand name. The only difference between a generic and brand name (besides price) can be shape, color, and possibly release profile. However the release go the generic is also compared to the brand name and must meet a strict requirement in the lab in addition to bioequivalency studies where both drugs are compared human blood levels to show comparison of availability.

Yes I do. Only have been on it for a month.
Don't like the up & down feeling. Especially when the second Kick comes about the time my chores are done & I want to chill
With my boyfriend.
And me being focused makes it hard to deal with his OCD.

I literally started the D-amphetamine salt combo 20 mg tonight and at first I had eaten some food before taking it. Specifically chilli, mostly high in protein and fat, I took 60 mg (recreational dose) to try it. Not the right thing to do the first time you take a new medication but I came from vyvase which had some good factors for me, but the bad side effects outweighed the good on the 50 mg vyvanse after about a month of taking it but its not a bad mediction by all means, i suppose it will run adderall and this generic crap into the ground pretty quick if they lessen the price, but anyway my doc quickly perscribed the salt combo 20 mg. Which to his knowledge is about the same dosage as the vyvanse. I liked the vyvanse for the first week with little euphoria and getting things done but it quickly turned into a nonstop insomnia fest. Alomg with erectile disfunction and alot of other bad things my body cant handle. Im am addict (and my doc openly knows this) so it seemed like a good idea at first but as soon as the bad side effects hit and I stopped feeling the euphoric high and getting things done like im on top of the world I quickly told my doc and he switched me to what was supposed to be adderall IR 20 mg, turns out the pharmacy had to do a prior authorization first and it would be 2 to 4 days without meds. I do have severe anxiety and panic disorder along with ADHD so that wasent goin to fly with me. But turns out the pharmacy had this generic stuff called D-amphetamine salt combo which is supposedly the same thing but I wouldn't know the difference between the name brand or generic so I broke in half 3 pills and debated on taking another but I don't want to go into crazy mode so I just tried 60 mg. At first on a stomach that had metabolize about 3 oz of chilli gave me little shakiness and strange feeling. Not like any hard street amphetamine I have tried and tried and tried so it was weird at first. I have been on it for 3 hours now and ate a little more food and I had a few beers and got to know my neighbors a little and started feeling a little buz but off of 60 mg it was not much of a euphoria like I thought it would be. It's supposed to be basically the same thing as adderall from what I have researched and trust me I did my research.

So I can relate to the shakiness and waves of focus like mentioned above but not much amph feeling like I was hoping for, but the main reason I wanted something els was the length of time the vyvase lasted. For like 14 hours and the come down was smoth but the sleep didn't exist anymore in my frantic mind. Sor maybe these little instant release ones are good for just taking like your supposed To. Maybe it's a sign from God saying look here. You got all you want but can't feel what you want. Weird but for the first time. I can focus better without feeling crazy or diluted or like a shinning star. It was is more of a quick hit of coke and a few beers. But last about 5 times longer than coke. Maybe the food will help your shakiness and definitely don't drink on this stuff. I like it but I love lsd or shrooms, along with some uppers. I think this med will be kept strictly for medical purposes for me. Not worth having a heart attack over getting a little buz. So in reality I have no idea if this is like the actual adderall. All the adderall I have had was some bought in welding school from a kid and those were time released capsule with about 3 or 4 of the high dosage ones I was good for like 6 to 7 hrs. I am probably on the wrong thread but just eat a little food before you take them or right afer you take your meds and it might help. And like I said I'm a drug abuser of 13 years going on 14 so my experience will be different than yalls. I do like that I think I will be able to sleep tonight and go to work welding tomorrow with one or 2 of these in my system. Noted I have very dry mouth but no since of euphoria? All the symptoms but not the same. Strange reaction to it though. Mabye Its because I just got off a 2 day run of shard... anyway be safe and always have a higher power. Mines God. Say what you want about me cause I'm open about drug abuse and my faith but keep this in mind. Would someone with 14 years bad experiences and overdoses and hospitalizations contemplate on God? Not me my friend. I know I'm being watched out for so good luck with the meds. Hope everything gets better to. Also I take daily 2, 1 mg clonazipam for anxiety and sometimes ambian. All I know is ya get what you pay for and this was about half the cost of actual aderrall. God, Guns, and Guitar.

If you're having trouble sleeping you can also take Melatonin 5- 10 mg but for children they get the 3mg dose. My son is on the D-amphetamine salt combo 10 mg (oval light blue pill) and it was very hard for him to get to sleep. He has to take 1 pill in the morning then one at noon and I'd say around 4 or 5pm its wearing off and he's bouncing off the walls again. When he laid down to go to sleep, he was constantly jumping up with things like, " I've gotta pee! ,I want something to drink! ,etc" Its like his brain does not want to shut down so he can sleep. So I called the on call nurse and she said usually people with ADHD do not produce enough natural melatonin to help them go to sleep so she's the one that suggested the Melatonin 3mg for him. But anyone can take Melatonin beings it is something our body is supposed to produce. I had first heard about melatonin though through my dad. He also takes it to help him sleep and he suffers from anxiety attacks. So I heavily suggest melatonin for anyone having trouble sleeping as a first result before taking any other harsh chemicals. Hope this helps to whoever needs it.
