Difference Between Amphetamine Salts And Amphetamine Salt Combo (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I HAVE BEEN TAKING GENERIC ADDERALL which has always been called amphetamine salts. My last script instead of saying amphetamine salts substituted for adderall it says amphetamine salts substituted for amphetamine salt combo? What's this mean?

Maria....Well first of all ..your getting 10 mg IR tablets. Xr is always in a capsule. Second...you are clearly abusing them if you took a ten mg tablet it would never keep you up for 20 hours ...it has a 3 hour half life lol .. so u must have taken more than 30.mg if you've been up for 20+ hours I'm a pharmacist...and a biochemical engineer, with a PhD in pharmaceutical botany as well as a PhD in mycology/ drug synthesis. If you actually had ADHD this drug would have the complete opposite effect. .it would most certainly not keep you awake for 20+ hours especially at 10 mg. And if a doctor intended you for you to take more than 10 mg they would have given you a higher mg tablet to save money for all parties involved. So I can promise you that you are clearly either abusing this medication , it is not prescribed to you or both.

Maria,

Unless its in a capsule, adderrall or any of its generic counterparts, from various manufacturers is "IR". (Adderrall is only available in two preparations: Adderrall and Adderrall XR

Adderrall XR comes strictly in a capsule formulation containing two types of beads that dissolve at different rates to release the drug twice. Adderrall XR is manufactured by Shire. There is only one "generic" XR formulation on the market- also produced by Shire (its the brand drug in different colored capsules). Most insurance formularies that cover Adderrall XR will not cover the XR generic.

Finally, generic Adderrall is expensive; You can finance many new cars for less than you'd pay for Adderrall XR. Hope this helps.

Safeguarding your controlled Rx's. It's vitally important to keep your medicine in a locked container. You are responsible for any mishaps or overdoses that occur during your medicine possession in home or elsewhere. Do not carry medicine in your car as a rule. DUI'S occur for driving on any medicine. DUI checkpoints or DRIVERS LICENSE CHECKPOINTS ARE ONE AND THE SAME.

IMPORTANT: My cleaning lady helped herself to about #30 Ct. of my 20Mg. mixed amphetamine combos. I keep my firearms in a vault. I will now keep them in my safe.One neighbor, now deceased pilfered #200 Ct. of my D amphetamines. Do keep them locked up and bolted and welded the vaults down. KEEP YOUR MEDS locked.

Lack of sleep is deleterious. Take a anxiolytic HS. CLONAZEPAM IS USEFUL.

You need to get some sleep. I know the feeling I have found myself awake at 3am cleaning my house. I would suggest that you take your meds earlier in the day if possible. Lately I haven't been getting that 'no sleep' feeling and am wondering if they are giving me some sort of sugar pill that has no amphet. in it.

Hello, Maria! How are you?

There is no instant release formulation, there are only regular release and time released formulations.

Does the prescription list anything on it, such as ER, XR, SR or something similar?

If so, they are time released, if not, they are regular release.

What are the markings on them? That's another way I can double check for you.

Hello, Mary! How are you?

It all means the same thing, just different ways of stating it.

Adderall actually contains Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine, which is usually listed as mixed Amphetamine salts, so what you've seen are just different variations of the drug name.

This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache. dizziness, insomnia, nervousness and anorexia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
