It is a generic for Adderall XR and many people take it successfully, every day, without any severe issues. It's most common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. What types of reactions did you find so severely concerning? Maybe those can be addressed to help you.

I wat to know why m son not eating like he was before he took this medicane ## It is a stimulant that's most commonly used to treat ADHD and, as such, it tends to cause suppression of the appetite as a side effect, that's why such medications are also often used to aid in weight loss. Learn more Adderall details here. How much is he eating? If he's eating a normal, healthy amount, then there is nothing to really worry about. However, if he's not eating normal, healthy portions and is suffering severe weight loss, then his doctor should be contacted.

Hi: I've been prescribed Adderall 20mg IR (generic amphetamine salts, 2x daily) and I found I was just dripping sweat in any type of heat or even at 40 deg after some exertion. My doctor switched me to dextroamphetamine (again, generic, 10 mg, 2x daily), and there is no improvement. The new drug is not as effective as the Adderall. My doctor is not that familiar with this class of drugs, but my pharmacist specialized in mental health drugs and suggested that an ER or XR version might work better. I've also read that some people do better on certain types of generics or the name brands. Has anyone found that: 1) an extended release version has physical side effects (i.e., sweating)? 2) a name brand, rather than generic, has been more effective at preventing side effects? 3) a dif...

how long are amphetamine salts effective in the system in a 40 mg dose,as compared to dextroamp-amphet ER in a 30 mg dose? ## Timing is going to be somewhat different for every person, due to their metabolism, however, the half-life of amphetamine is roughly 12-13 hours and is excreteted renallly, with significant portion unaltered. Metabolization takes place mostly in the liver. The average elimination half-life for d-amphetamine is 10 hours in adults. So you can see here that they are active in your system for a similar length of time before they begin to break down and metabolize. NOTE: elimination half-life (duration of time until it breaks down) is not dependent upon the dosage; but the dosage you took will determine if one medication leaves your system sooner than the other. Half-...
