Amphetamine Salt Com 20 Mg

my 16 yrea old granddaughter is on amphetamine salt com 20 mg tablet. She constantly complains about being sleepy (teachers complain also) has anyone else experienced this symptom? ## Yes, in some people certain medications can cause the opposite symptoms of what they should. It could be because the medication just doesn't work properly for her or she may be on too high of a dosage. Has anyone spoken to her doctor about this? ## YES I HAVE AND MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO MY DOSE BEING TO HIGH. ONCE CUT IN HALF I DID MUCH BETTER. ONE OF THOSE TIME LESS IS MORE.

I've been on it for one wk & it has not helped a bit, in fact, I'm not focusing or able to remember what is as of me. ## This is a stimulant, a generic for Adderall, it is used to treat conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, weight loss, and nervousness. Speedo, the 20mg is double the dosage of the 10.

color blue cor 132 imprinted was prescribed for my low blood pressure along with provigil 20 mg for fatigue. I have ms and not sure why the meds are prescribed for me. ## The mixed Amphetamine salts, which would commonly be referred to as Adderall, is a stimulant, it is normally used to treat conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy. One of its side effects is that, as a stimulant, it can raised your blood pressure. The Provigil is another medication that is commonly used to treat Narcolepsy and fatigue syndromes. Thus, I can only conclude that your doctor probably wants to bring your BP up to normal levels and to help you with the fatigue you are experiencing from the MS. IS there anything else I can help you with? ## Anyone taking amphetamine salts for ms fatigue?

Looking for coupons for generic adderall 20 mg ## I'm sorry, but coupon and assistance programs aren't offered for generic medications, because by their intent, they are already cheaper than the name brand. In addition the company that manufactures the name brand product no longer offers a coupon or assistance program for it. Have you tried checking the price at various pharmacies in your area to find the lowest one possible?

I have been prescibed 20 mg of the d-amphetamine salt combo 3 times a day. I need to wean myself from this drug as quickly as possible. Can I do it without a doctor's help by cutting each dose in half? ## Hi Susie, Yes it can be done without a doctor's help if you are confident in your own ability. Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. At least that's what I would focus on doing if I were in your shoes. It may also be a good idea to involve family or friends to help keep you on track and record your pro...

I take 30 mg ER twice a day and it seems to wear off latter on before the evening time. Does anyone have this issue if so what do you or your doctors do to fix this. ## From what I could gather, many people are saying that the D-Amphetamine Salt Combo seems to only last about 4 hours before it's initial effects start to fade. However they may or may not be referring to the extended release version. Others have also stated that the generic doesn't necessarily work as well or as long as the name brand. I wouldn't doubt this to be true, as I know generic medications are allowed to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredients. This factor, along with different inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) could enable you to have a completely different reaction to ea...

I took on 20 mg capsule and in a hour nothing happened. Its been about 8 hours now and I'm wondering if i need a bigger dose. When i took nothing happened that people warned me about. I didn't get more focused, i didn't get headaches, and i didn't lose my appetite. Im wondering if i should get a bigger dose or not. Thanks in advance for all your replies. ## Adderall (amphetamine + dextroamphetamine) is a stimulant drug. So I'd imagine you should be experiencing at least a noticeable difference in energy levels. However it is not uncommon for nothing to happen, as medications can and usually do affect everyone differently. Some people get great results, but there are others that it inevitably just doesn't work for no matter how many they take. Unfortunately when i...

Is it normal for the size and shape of a generic drug to vary from store to store? ## These types of pills can be different shapes, colors, and sizes. Even though they are the same mg...for example...a 30mg amphetamine salt combo can come in pink or orange...both act the same and have the same ingredients...even though they look nothing alike. The reason being that they are made from 2 different manufacturers. ## Is D-Amphetamine another name for Adderall? Or is it another version [generic?] of it? I mean what's the difference? My doctor just prescribed Adderall for me, only for a few weeks until I can get through my thesis. The dosage is pretty low as I understand: D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 10mg, once a day. I have been taking it for 3 days now (1/day) 20-30min before I start writin...

What's the difference between Amphetamine Salts 20 Mg and Amphetamine Tabs 20 Mg. Both say generic for adderall... I'm trying to find out if this is a different medication, or maybe extended release vs. instant? Anyone know? ## Hello, Julz! How are you? There is no difference in what you listed, the pharmacy or prescriber just wrote each one a little differently, which is common. There is no exact way that they have to write it. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant that is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight loss, insomnia and anorexia.

The best suggestion I can make is to check with several of your local pharmacies to see who offers the cheapest price. This medication may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, weight loss and anorexia. Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?

Is there a difference between the to types of drugs? My doctor changed them and I wonder why this was done I'm now on the combo? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? No, they are the same thing, just a different way of writing it, but both are generics for Adderall. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can you cut the 20mg of d-amphetamine salt combo tabs in half? I have been on the 20 mg for 2 days and didn't feel any difference.

I Take 20 Mg XR capsule Amphetamine Salts. They Used To Be Orange capsules but Now it is a blue capsule. What 's The Difference? What changed? ## The EXACT same thing happened to me when I picked up my 20mg XR Generic Adderall. It works the same to me but what's going on!? Is this a permanent change? ## I can't provide any more precise details, without knowing the markings on the capsules. However, my best guess is being a generic, you have most likely just received one that's been manufactured by a different company, than the one you were getting. When a medication is available as a generic, it is normal for a pharmacy to switch the one they provide, whenever they may get a cheaper offer from another company. It's how they keep the costs down for their customers tha...

my dr rx amphetamine salts combo 30 mg bid. I usually use another brand but i was given actavis and its making me sleepy and not sure if its the brand or im ill or not working as should. Teva worked well but cant ever get in stock. any suggestions ## Just got the same thing today from SAMs and it's causing me to be sleepy. All I want to do is go to bed I don't know if I need to get use to it or does this brand just suck and next month try to find the Barr brand I hear target has it still ## If you're both experiencing this, then I can only guess that this one might be a little lower in the amount of the active ingredient than the other. They do have a plus or minus 20% window to work with, that doesn't really add up to a lot when you think of the milligrams in a medicati...
