Dextroamphetamine

Dextroamphetamine (D-AMP)[note 1] is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and an amphetamine enantiomer[note 2] that is prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.[17][18] It is also used as an athletic performance and cognitive enhancer, and recreationally as an aphrodisiac and euphoriant. Dextroamphetamine was also used in the past by some countries' military forces to fig...

I had been taking the non-generic form of dextrostat for 7 years (30 mg 3 times a day) which worked fine for me. Back in May (??) my pharmacist advised me that dextrostat was no longer available but the generic dextrostat was. I tried the generic dextrostat which is supposed to be exactly the same drug as dextrostat, but it is not working for me. It might be the same in books but my body knows there is a huge difference. It's like I am not taking anything at all. I take dextrostat because I suffered a stroke which made me slow in speech, thinking and movement and I also suffer with narcolepsy. The dextrostat helps me to function normally, at least better than I would if I did not take it. Back to the problem: Generic dextrostat is NOT working and I need to know if anybody has experi...

Dextroa-topics Dextrostat Any mfg. of Dextromethamphetaminesulfate. Yellow diet pill RP on one side possibly 15 on the reverse. I need an effective diet pill badly. I took it in the 1970's & it was excellent. After 2 years I never needed it again. Now 35 years later I do & can't find it, or anyone to perscribe it. HELP!ROFA

Shire US discontinued the mfg of DextroStat, at the end of the year 2007. Another bought out the license to produce DextroStat, but, it was also discontinued by Phys Total Care at the end of 2008, only available in 2008 in 5 mg, as the 10 mg was discontinued. I believe the license/patent, had expired, as well, as "Dextrostat" was a patented license by Richwood Pharmaceuticals of Kentucky beginning in the year 1994, and, ShireUS bought the patent rights, and, merged Richwood into ShireUS, with headquarters, in, Wayne PA 19087 soon after 9/11/2001. As we all know who are very used to Orange Book FDA ratings, the rare AA rated Dexedrine by Glaxo Smith Kline in 5mg I/R doses, and, DextroStat, was also AA rated by Orange Book out of 17 categories, but, both vanished from the shelves,...

I am wondering about trying Vyvance to treat narcolepsy. I currently take dextrostat 30 mg 3 times a day and since it is now generic dextrostat, it is absolutely not effective at all. Can I have feedback either on Vyvanse or any other drugs that you have found to be effective. Thank you and I look forward to your replies ## my brother in law's brother has had this problem for years and believe it or not he takes ritilin(I hope spelled right has helped him (no problems or side effects. Hope thie helps you. ## Hi, I have been taking Vivance 70 mg for about 3 months now because I have been diagnosed with a mild case of narcolepsy. It helps tremendously with my energy level/staying awake during the day, which is most important since I lived in fear of running into a car or off the road ...

ive tried practically all the pharmacies in my area in akron ohio trying to get corepharma dextrostat 5mg ir and 10mg ir and nobody can get it. its the name brand dexedrine molecular structure offered at a generic price ## Hello Justin! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. They may have difficulty getting it, at this time, due to shortages that typically occur this time of year. When it comes to controlled substances, all manufacturers have a limit on how much they can manufacture and produce, each year, under direction of the DEA. Once they reach that limit, they cannot manufacture any new product, until after the new year. Inevitably, demand exceeds supply and shortages occur the last few months of the year. According to the FDA, this medication carries...

I received pink round tablets which are labeled on plastic dispensing bottle as: DEXTROAMPHETAMINE 10 mg tab. Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Generic For DEXTROSTAT. One side imprinted cor 216 other side etched X. What is this medication & who is the manufacturer? ## Hi Rich, Just to confirm, those round pink pills marked with "cor" over "216" on one side and cross-scored "X" on the other, are exactly what you mentioned them to be (10mgs of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate). This medication is commonly prescribed for the treatment of ADHD. For verification, the manufacturer is reported to be CorePharma, based out of New Jersey; and these pills also carry a National Drug Code of 64720-216-10. I hope this helps to answer your question! ## Hey man, Hate to the bearer of bad ...

Who makes and labels a round yellow pill with the imprint RP 110? ## Hi RE, I actually found two close matches with a very similar description. The first one being a round yellow scored tablet marked with RP on one side and 51 on the other. It's reportedly known as Dextrostat 5mgs (Dextroamphetamine Sulfate), and is manufactured by Shire here in the US. The other pill I came across is a round pink chewable tablet marked with RP 110, and is identified as Equate brand - Extra Strength Gas Relief; containing 125mgs of Simethicome. My thoughts are that maybe the manufacturer of the first pill (Shire) could potentially be the same company who makes yours, judging from the type of imprint it has. So that may be worth looking into as well. Hope this helps!

found this pill and need to identify what it is and where to properly dispose of it. It's a yellow round pill with letters RP on one side and #15 on the other side. ## I found a pill with similar markings, Click here to see a picture of the pill. If this is your pill, it's Dextrostat 5 mg.

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.

Hi all. I have been taking 30mg/day generic dexedrine IR tablets for 7 years now, and while I've seen a shortage happen occasionally it's always passed eventually. I picked up my prescription yesterday and found the pharmacy had given me ER capsules instead of IR tablets. Its a new-ish pharmacy for me so I figured it was a mistake, but when I asked them about it they told me that the generic IR tabs were discontinued entirely. Is this true? I'm located in California in the US. ## @swiftly, From what I've researched, Dextrostat (which is referred to by some as a "generic" for Dexedrine) was reportedly discontinued by Shire Richwood in 2003. NOTE: the actual generic name is Dextroamphetamine, which seems to still be available from the following manufacturers in bot...

My dad set me up with a doctor who agreed to put me on adderall. I got the bottle today and it says: Oval Blue b 972...... Genneric for adderall. Does this product work well? I have previously been taking XR of adderall and I'm hesitant to change ## This is a 10mg tablet of Mixed Amphetamine salts, so a generic for Adderall, however, the only way to see if it will work for you is by actually trying it. What works well for one person may not work well for another and vice versa. Did you discuss your concerns with the doctor? ## Unfortunately, two substitutes that were around for decades, "Dexedrine Sulfate 5mg" by Glaxo Smith Kline, and, "Dextrostat" by Richwood Pharma, later, by Shire US, have both been removed off of the USA market, during 2008 thru 2009.

I currently take Adderall IR 20MG twice daily. My question is this: How many MG of Dexedrine IR would be equal to Adderall IR 20MG? How do you convert Adderall IR 20MG to Dexedrine IR 20MG? ## Hello, James! How are you? Usually, these medications are considered equivalent in dosages, so a 20mg dose of one would require a 20mg dose of the other to be therapeutically equivalent. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss, irritability, and other mood changes. What dosage your doctor recommend? ## The old name for the dexedrine IR was called dextrostat. The dexedrine does not last as long but has a much smoother taper IMHO. The doses are for most intent and purposes similar. I woul...

I took a 3 panel drug test and it came up positive for methamphetamine. Does d amphetamine cause that? I have never done Meth! ## D amp is meth ## I have a similar case. Do you have any peer reviewed or credible sources where it can be verified that d-amphetamine is methamphetamine? I can't find anything that makes that specific connection. Thanks. ## No, it's not. Initially, it was known as d-desoxyephedrine. No chemical relation to the DEXTROTATORY isomer of amphetamine. I have the creds to back up my statement. ## No it is not. D-DESOXYEPHEDRINE, first marketed in the US post-WW II — is methamphetamine. D-AMPHETAMINE is Dexedrine, Dextrostat or Dextroamphetmaine. ## No, d-amphetamine SO4 is Dexedrine and methamphetamine HCL is Desoxyn or Methedrine. Only tangentially re...
