I am an adult female who does not have ADHD or ADD. I just wanted to lose 20lbs. My Doctor prescribed IC AMPHETAMINE SALTS 20 MG TABLET 2 times a day. I have no health problems. 1st pill I took made me jittery and a little dizzy. So now I am starting out with half a tablet once a day because I do drink an energy drink that is actually healthy for you and does not make you jittery or crash like most energy drinks do. My question is : Is this safe for me to take for 2 to 3 months? After reading all the side effects, it is scary. I am having a hard time losing weight since I had my son. I had him when I was 42yrs. old and I have never had a weight problem. This extra 20lbs is putting me in a depression but I am afraid of the side effects. I have only taken this pill 3 days. What do you rec...

They could be the sign of a serious reaction. even if they they aren't, he may have been put on too high of a dosage or this may not be the correct medication for him to use.

It should taper off, after a few weeks, as his body adjusts to the medication, however, if it doesn't or if it gets worse, you should contact his doctor immediately. Read more on the me...

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.

I have been on 20 mg amphetamine salts 4 x a day for over 3 yrs. I think I need my dose increased to 30 mg 4 x day . I've been wanting to discuss this with my doctor for a while now but something else is always wrong and I've been forgetting everything again if I don't write it down!! I think I've been on the same dose too long. Doesn't it need to be increased every so often pertaining to your symptoms getting worse?? ## I can't take extended release adderall.. I've been doing well w/ the amphetamine salts. Does anyone think I've been on the same dose too long and it's just not working anymore?? I do.. How often are they supposed to increase your dose??? Especially if it is not working anymore?? ## Paula, yes you're right about your body getting u...

I have a 9 year old son on this medication. Since he has started he has been insomniac and starting to argue with me a lot more an even his teacher. Any tips? ## The best suggestion I can give would be to take him off this drug. Being only 9 years old and taking "legal speed" probably has a lot more repercussions than doctors let off telling you. In my opinion the best way to stay focused is to write lists, work on goal setting, exercise (outdoors, if at all possible); to help get rid of excess energy and to refresh the mind. I'd also recommend a diet comprised of more fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also many natural supplements that can be used to help increase focus, i.e.: Ginkgo Biloba, various Essential Oils & herbs, Valerian root, etc. I personally think tha...

My 9 year ols nephew is on 40 mg a day this seems too much! He seems distant and depressed all the time, should I be concerned? ## Hi Kerry, From what I could gather, the usual pediatric dose can range from 5mg up to a maximum of 60mg once daily. The extended release capsules are not recommended for anyone age 6 or under, so I can only speculate that his body (from a biological standpoint) may not even be ready to handle this medication. Safety guidelines for this medication note that if any bothersome adverse reactions appear (e.g., insomnia, anorexia, or depression in this case), the dosage should be reduced. I think it's perfectly ok and natural to be concerned for someone who looks depressed and distant. This would probably be attributed to side effects and/or too high of a dose...

I've been taking Adderall xr. Today i was given Amphetamine salts TABBRR. Does anyone know about these and have taken them? What is the difference? Does one work better than the other? Thanks. ## Well the TABBRR just refers to the dosage form (tablet) and the manufacturer. This is just a generic version of the medication, instead of a name brand. ## Does anyone know of any help paying for this medication?

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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## amphetamine salts are a mixture of 4 amphetamine...

I am 35 and started taking this because I went back to school and had difficulty to concentrate on my study and test. It's been two days, however, I started feeling strange in the morning. First day I woke up with swollen eyes, and this morning I have been feeling drowsy and little bit dizzy or confuse!!! I don't know if this is because of my medication or not... please advice me! ## No, it shouldn't cause facial swelling or drowsiness. This is a stimulant, so it should help you to be more alert. Learn more Adderall details here. It can cause the dizziness, however. Have you consulted your doctor? Swelling like that is usually the sign of an allergic reaction to something, though if it was due to the medication, it likely would have continued. ## Thank you, it didn't con...

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.

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?

My 18 yr old daughter got a prescript. for the above med and has never had ADHD. I think she told her dr. that she thought she had that, but really wanted it for weight loss and energy. It was filled on 2/1/10 and is now gone. ## Well, you have posted this almost 2 months after it was filled, so I really cannot comment on that, without knowing how large the prescription was, how many tablets were in it. It is a medication that is used daily. Have you tried talking to her about this? That may be the only way to get to the root of the problem, she may genuinely think she has ADHD. ## Did she lose weight? I take desoxyn for adhd and i wish my parents would have believed me, I would have had a better young life.

Looking to get my amphetamine salt combo 20 mg 60 ct prescription free till I get insurance in a month ## Hello, Tristen! How are you? I'm sorry, but there are no current coupons available, since this is also available as generic, which is already cheaper in price. 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?

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?
