Difference Between Ampheta S Combo And

I HAVE BEEN TAKING GENERIC ADDERALL which has always been called amphetamine salts. My last script instead of saying amphetamine salts substituted for adderall it says amphetamine salts substituted for amphetamine salt combo? What's this mean? ## Hello, Mary! How are you? It all means the same thing, just different ways of stating it. Adderall actually contains Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine, which is usually listed as mixed Amphetamine salts, so what you've seen are just different variations of the drug name. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache. dizziness, insomnia, nervousness and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I don't have insurance and my doctor recently boosted my dose from...

What is the difference between d-amphetamine salt combo (adderall)10mg and dextroamphetamine sulfate tablets (Zenzedi)? ## Hello, Don! How are you? The difference is exactly what you listed in your post. Adderall contains mixed amphetamine salts, which are amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, but Zenzedi only contains dextroamphetamine.

I was perscribed D Amhetamine 10 mg and my doctor says that I may have to take up to three daily. The only issue is that I have a problem swollowing the pill. I would rather a capsule. Is there any difference between the two? ## The Mixed Amphetamine Salt capsules are time released, where the tablets are regular release formulations. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Using the time release could also mean that you might not have to take so many each day, since it slowly releases the medication.

My Rx was for Amphetamine salts combo 5mg. & my pill bottle simply says amphetamine salt 5mg. Are these the same? I've been taking 5mg twice a day for 3 days now, not really noticing much ## I know that Adderall contains the salt combo (Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine), but I too, wasn't aware of the differences between the two. However I just came across an article explaining the differences, which you can view in the link below: differencebetween.net/science/health/difference-between-amphetamine-and-dextroamphetamine/ From what I could gather, I believe the differences are subtle and is mostly based on the way the drug is administered. I hope this helps!

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 have a question. I have been taking Ampheta Dextro a round pink pill, for mu ADHD. My mental health clinic is so big that they have a doctor that only write refill scripts. She called me and asked what I was taking and I didn't have the bottle with me, so I couldn't exactly name it. (It's Amphtr/Dextro Combo TAV 20mg) I thought "Doesn't she have a login to the system? That doesn't make sense? I got as close as I could and then she asked what size and how many? I could have said anything, it seems? Anyway, she said she had it, and named my pharmacy. When I got to the pharmacy a couple of days letter I got Ampht/Dextr 20mg Tab ACT? What is the difference between Ampheta Dextro Combo TAV and Ampht/Dextr 20mg Tab ACT? and Amphet/Dextr? ## The TAV and ACT are just a...
