How/where can I get a legal placebo for my child that I can give him, letting his school aware, but not my son. He claims his bad behavior at school (only) is because he forgot to take his "good behavior" pill. I want to see if he is good with a placebo. ## I'd suggest discussing it with his doctor, or your pharmacist. I am really not that knowledgeable about the use of placebos and whether or not such a thing would be considered legal, or how to obtain one legally. Is he still on the medication? ## He's on med Mon-Fri only, still good behavior EVERYWHERE without meds except school. An apointment to discuss this with his doctor was cancelled by the doctor. I feel like I'm geeting the runaround by "the system" and all I want is my son to be without SPEED at sc...

my son is 7 years old and is having a few problems in school because of hes adhd so his doctor suggest 5mg of dextoroamp-amphet er but for school only..( what ever that means )..is this a good idea and wht are the sideeffects? ## Hello, Calvin! How are you and your son? This is a generic for Adderall, it is a stimulant that's used to treat conditions such as ADHD, narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder. Whether or not it's a good idea really depends on your son, if he really is that out of hand with ADHD and needs the help for school, then it might be good to try it, but if his condition is very mild, then a medication may not be necessary. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, wei...

How are you? Well, part of the problem could be occurring if you're calling new doctors and asking them up front to prescribe this medication. Doctors and their staff are taught to view that as drug seeking behavior. Thus, what you really need to do is set up an appointment with a new doctor, without asking for a medication like this ahead of time. Once you go to the appointment, then you can discuss your treatment options. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may ca...

I have been taking dextroamphetamine for several years .in dec 2011 I could not find any, I was told they were back ordered and that the drug and food agency had a limitation on how much could be sent to each state. now in 2013 they are back and the price has sky rocketed i think they created the shortage so they could raise the price ## You are entitled to your opinion, but such conspiracy theories usually have little merit and are rarely born out by research and time. There are limits on how much a pharmacy can order and stock in any given month of all controlled substances, it's not a limit placed on states, but on each pharmacy according to the size of their normal customer base. Anyone curious can read more Dextroamphetamine details here. How much has the price changed for you?

Ive taken Dexadrine tabs for a couple years. The price is now too much for me too afford. No inssurance. My Dr. gave me Rittalin but it is NOT as effective as Dexadrine.

Is Amphetamine Dextroamphet the same as Amphetamine Salt Combo? ## Yes, you may also just see it referred to as mixed amphetamine salts, but it is all the same thing and refers to the combination of Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine. The name brand for it would be Adderall. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Will amphetimine/dextramphetamine cause you to lose your appetite?

I am an adult with ADD. I've done very well with Vyvanse 50 for past 5 yrs. but new insurance formulary won't pay for this. The nearest substitute I can find is dextroamp-amphet and I'm told that 20mg twice daily or 20mg + 10mg mid afternoon should be equivalent. Don't think I can get both rx'd per month. Can I split a 20mg ER cap? Will this cause a huge crash? I found Vyvanse very smooth and insomnia was seldom a problem. Thanks. ## No, you can't split the ER ones, since they are time released. Doing so may cause you to accidentally take too much of the medication, at once, which could result in overdose. What has your doctor advised? They should be able to help you find an equivalent that you can try. The FDA classifies this medication as stimulant, so it carri...
