Hi, i have been on stil pains for quite some time now and the dosage has increased. i used to take two now i have gone up to 4 at least 5times a day. could this be the reaon why ive lost so much weight? ## Have you consulted a doctor? This medication contains Paracetamol, Codeine, Meprobate and Caffeine and if you are taking 4 tablets, 5 times a day, that's 6,400mgs of the Paracetamol and that is a very dangerous, toxic amount to be taking. Yes, it may have caused some health problems that could have resulted in your weight loss and you need to seek medical attention.

Adderall, or "mixed amphetamine salts combo" is a generic drug put out bt Teva and Shire. The prodrugs, Vyvance, and XL or LA formulas claim better blood levels thoughout the day and QD dosing. Psychiatrists aren't the only ones who prescibe these. AND you DO NOT GROW OUT OF THE CONDITION BECAUSE YOU ARE OLDER. Watch your BP THOUGH. Do not combine other sympathomemetic amine like phentermine, phendimetrazine, or caffeine. Using sedatives to overcome the stimulation is unwise. As the mere possession of anorexients and sedatives are a red flag. The use of stimulents are controversial, but if you are cleared by your Dr. it may offer good efficacious Tx for adult deficit disorder. Usually, the cause may be premature birth, prenatal smoking or drug use or unknown ideopathic etiology

I have been taking Amox/k 875 for 5 days with little relief. Can I take Acetaminophen or Aleve with this medicine? ## Yes, you can take either of those with it, as long as your doctor approves.
