amphetamine ## I stayed up effortlessly for 60 hours with 100 mg of adarol. It was really fun, and it takes me a while to remember what I did to kill all of that time. I have a feeling that adarol is hella dangerous; life has been pretty dull since that 3 day high. ## I think you are talking about Adderall - this is usually for attention deficit disorder, and would probably have a reverse effect on somebody who doesn't have add. It's like speed if I understand it correctly.

hello i'm new to this site and i just some help. I was told today(4-30-07)my son was diagnosed for ADHD and he's 7 in the first grade. the doctor put him on Methylphenidate? ## Hi Mikki, My husband and my 24 yr old son have ADHD w/ LD. My 16 yr old son has ADHD. My oldest son was first put on Ritalin in grade school and became an emotional basket case so he was then put on Cilert. I had requested educational testing be done by the school district so he could receive the additional educational and physcological help he needed but was refused. I took him off his medication and received a call from his teacher on a daily basis complaning that he was constantly disrupting the class. I told her I had taken him off his medication and until he received testing he would remain off his m...

round, blue, score lines look like a plus sign, writing on one side says coc132. found in a teenagers purse in my home. ## I know they way they do their logo makes the last letter questionable, but this is actually supposed to be COR 132. This is Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine 2.5mgs, a generic for Adderall. Definitely not something a teen should be messing with if it is not prescribed for them, however, they have gotten very popular and are frequently abused. I removed the incorrect response to avoid confusion.

I need to ask about this drug Facalin? My son takes this drug and I am wondering what the side affects are? ## I'm wondering the same thing. My son's is saying his legs feel funny and is having symptoms that look similar to the restless legs. This was just at night until today when he was complaining about it this morning shortly after taking his medications.

If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for your child to continue taking Focalin. More common side effects may include: Fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and stomach pain The most common side effects reported f...

for adhd ## Could you please explain some of the effects of this medicine, short and long term? NMy son was just prescribed this for impulsive hyperactivity. He is only 4. I have not wanted to put him on meds, but I have to know. He is getting worse and he even got kicked out of school. However, the info packet with the meds states not recommended for children under 7. I also want him to be able to go into any government service if he would like and from what I hear, you can not enlist if you are on ritalin or have ever been on it. Being that this is a remake so-to-speak, would he be able to enlist? ## Sorry, you would be best served if you asked your doctor or pharmacist that type of information.

I have an orange/peach tablet. Oblong shape kinda like an eye shape. There is a vertical line down the center on one side with a number 2 on the left and a 0 on the right side of the line. On the other side there are horizontal dashes on the right and left sides centered, and in the middle upper section there is a lower case b or the number 6. (I think it is a b) and under that are the numbers 973. This tablet measures 1/2 inch (1 mm) x 1/6 inches (approx 1 1/2 mm) x 1/16 inches. What is this tablet? ## Pill Image Click Here This is Amphetamine Dextroamphetamine 20mgs, a generic for Adderall XR.

My 9 yr old son has been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive, Anxiety and ADHD. we tried Adderall and while that worked for a while we had to stop because of side effects. He now takes Seroquel and Zoloft. They are working great for the OCD and Anxiety. We tried concerta for the ADHD and he turned into the incredible hulk within an hour of taking it. Does anyone know if the Daytrana patch works the same with the same side effects as Concerta? ## Yes, it is the same active ingredient, so the side effects would be essentially the same, instead of taking a pill, Daytrana just gives you a time released patch.

My son recently started taking Focalin. He is 7 and is having a hard time swallowing the pill (not capsule). Is it still effective when crushed and put in applesause? ## Yes. It works crushed and mixed in pudding, too! ## Does 'Foculin' come in a long-acting form? Like Concerta ## Focalin XR works well for my son, and lasts about 9 hours. If he needs to do homework or do serious sports in the evening or has a playdate in the evening, I use focalin in the mid to late afternoon. ## You can also try Focalin in Oatmel or grits..... Anything with thicker texture to it! ## This will actually depend if he is on the regular Focalin or the XR. If he is on the XR which is an extended time release version, it should not be crushed or broken, that will negate the time released effect and he...

oronge oval pill with 2/0 on one side and the letter b above 973 in my kids pocket ## Pill Image This is Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine 20mgs, a generic for Adderall XR, which is used to treat ADHD. These are coming up a lot with people having them that aren't supposed to, if you aren't ADHD then they can give a speed like effect. Even if your kid wasn't using them, if they aren't prescribed to him/her by your doctor, you will want to have a chat to make sure they are aware of the dangerous and that even possession of these, without a precsription is illegal.

My son is 10 years old and his doctor wants him to start taking Strattera. I am not to sure about giving it to him. Has it helped anyone's child out there? Also have you noticed any side affects? ## Has he been on other medications such as Ritailn? If so have they been uneffective? Different drugs have different effects on different people (whew hard to say). I have heard so many different things about this drug, that it is bad to take, that it is good to take, but nobody seems to make up their minds. I have heard of people becoming really weak and physically tired after being on Strattera, and that it does not kick in lick Ritalin. Instead it is a more gradual effect. Sorry I couldn't give any more details. I hope you can find the info you're looking for ! Mary ## I am 19 y...
