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...

MY SON STARTED TAKING THIS MEDICATION A WEEK AGO AN STARTED HAVING STRANGE SIDE EFFECTS A TWITCH WHEN HE GOES TO TALK / EXPRESS HIM SELF ,AN DONT KNO WHAT TO DO. ## Anytime you are concerned about unusual side effects, you should contact a doctor or pharmacist immediately. 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. That said, the twitching can be a normal side effect to this medication, since it is a stimulant. He may also experience nausea, insomnia and weight loss. 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...

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...

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...

Is there a diiference between amphetamine salts and amphitamine ## I am not quite certain what you're asking? Amphetamine salts usually refers to mixed salts, such as the active ingredients in Adderall, which are Amphetamines and Dextroamphetamines. Amphetamine itself though is a pretty general term that is used to refer to almost any of them and its relatives.

Is this safe for a 6 yr. old to take. Once a day> ## Dosing and administration guidelines for this medication state the following: Adderall XR (Amphetamine, Dextroamphetamine Mixed Salts) is approved for use in children "over" the age of six years, although regular Adderall can be used in younger children from 3-5 years of age. "In children with ADHD who are 6-12 years of age and are either starting treatment for the first time or switching from another medication, start with 10 mg once daily in the morning; daily dosage may be adjusted in increments of 5 mg or 10 mg at weekly intervals. When in the judgment of the clinician a lower initial dose is appropriate, patients may begin treatment with 5 mg once daily in the morning. The maximum recommended dose for children is ...

My son switched from Concerta to the generic version Adderall (b973 orange pill) several months ago. Recently he has been experiencing the following problems - sleeplessness, extreme restlessness, loss of appetite, headaches, upset stomach and even had a bout with vomiting one day. I would like him to change medications but how do we wean him and what medications can you suggest? He is an adult, but does not think it is the medication but believes he needs some other medication to counteract this. Please give me your thoughts. ## You really shouldn't adjust his medications on your own, you need to consult with his doctor about the problems he is having. These are normal side effects to the Mixed Amphetamine salts, for most people they taper off after a few weeks, however, some peopl...

I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, but never really took any sort of medication. As the years past, and I progressed into adulthood signs of my ADHD presented themselves more clearly which effected my personal relationships and overall work output/performance. I decided that the adult thing to do would be to research and talk w/ my doctor about possible steps. My doctor suggested, along with a confirmation by a psychologist, that I start taking Adderall XR. So I was given 20 mg of the generic form (Amphetamine Salts ER). My first day was last Wednesday, and it worked wonderfully. I was motivated, alert, focused, which led to a better overall mood. It was everything I had hoped for. The next day I took it again, but with less of an effect. I chalked this up to my body getting used...

My girlfriend takes Amphetamine salts 20mg and when she took it about 2 hours later she had a couple of mixed drinks and she started acting really messed up. Can you drink when you're taking this med? ## Hi bill, Based on my own research I dont think mixing the two is a very good idea; simply because amphetamines increase heart rate/blood pressure and alcohol thins the blood. This could actually result in heart failure if not done properly. I've also heard from those with personal experience that alcohol works against speed/amphetamine, weakening its effects. I hope this advice helps! ## With most medications, including this one, when you drink while you are on them, it can cause severe aggravation of the side effects, basically making them much more pronounced and potent.

Can I cut amphetamine salts 20mg tabs in half? My 14 yr old was given this by her doctor after being diagnosed with ADD. So I gave her one in the morning and she called me from school in the middle of day saying she was feeling dizzy and hyper. So I'm thinking maybe starting her off on half for a couple of weeks will help. She said it helped her a lot to focus, but when it started to make her dizzy she became afraid. ## What type of doctor prescribed it? Was it just a general practitioner, or was it a specialist? There is a chance she might not actually have ADD, or that this dosage, or the medication itself might be the right one for her. Typically, you can cut, or break any medication that isn't time released, with doctor's approval. The FFA warns that this medication carr...
