Orange round pill with a funny looking V and says 3617 on the back - Is this Adderall? ## Adderall can cause you to have audio illusions. I for one have had them... examples are people hearing others having sex, or hearing voices saying to kill yourself. I have recently stopped taking the drug. I do not recommend it to anyone with or without ADD, this drug is merely a substitute for methamphetamines or upper highs. ## Sorry, there is no V 3617 listed in any of the databases, could you please double check the imprint?

white capsule ## Is this your pill? Pill Image I can't be certain since this capsule has markings on it that you did not include in your post. If this is your pill, it is Dextroamphetamine Extended Release 15mgs, a generic for Dexadrine, it is a stimulant used for ADHD.

1/2 long, 1/4 diameter, pink, hard, capsule shaped pill marked "Alza 54". ## alza 54 is 54 mg extended release Concerta ## Very good if you actually have ADD or ADHD, but taking them without this condition may not be the best idea. They do not have any real effects, they make you more concentrated but you will get migranes the next day and will have a difficult time sleeping. I do not reccomend them for unprescribed use.

Yellow -round pill-with the letters: RP, on one side, and the #: 15, on the other. Can you tell me what the name of the pill is please? Thank you! ## The closes possible match I was able to find was a round yellow pill with RP on one side and 51 on the other. There's a picture of it here. If you feel this is a match then it is a Dextrostat 5 mg, most commonly used to help with concentration, attention span, emotional control, and also helps with overactive/restless behavior.
