Question 1

my body grew a tolerance , so now im taking adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) tabs 30mg twice daily ? the only side effect , i get itchy is that bad ?

Accepted Answer

Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): Bad, no. Needs to be checked, yes.

Question 2

how long will amphetamine salts 20 mg last?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the formulation is adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) the immediate release usually lasts approximately four hours.  The extended released usually lasts eight hours.  However, this assumes that one metabolizes the medication at an average rate.

Question 3

i have to take amphetamine salts 15 mg, twice a day.  what is the best time to take medication?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I assume you are diagnosed with ADHD, and your need for medication depends on what you are doing (school, work, child care) and when you need to be at your best. For most patients you have to be most focused from 9 to 5, taking your first dose at 8AM and wnd dose at 1 or 2 PM would be what I would recommend. There are also sustained release versions you can take once a day. Talk to doc/pharmacist.

Question 4

is amphetamine salts 20mg  tablets chewable? please explain the best way to take this medication.

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are long acting or sustained-release preparations of amphetamine salts that should not be chewed.  Short-acting forms can be swallowed or chewed - it really doesn't make them act any more quickly. The best way to take any medication is to take the right dose at the right time by the right method. With pills, this is swallowing the pills whole. Non-drug treatment of adhd should also be used.

Question 5

i asked an earlier question if amphetamine salts 20mg is chewable? i also needed to know if i can take this with yogurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Am not aware of any problems with taking these meds with or without any food, whether yogurt or anything else.

Question 6

i am taking amphetamine salts 20mg tablets to help me stay focused. how long will this pill keep me focused from a single tablet?

Accepted Answer

Varies: I've had patients that said it seemed to last anywhere from 3 to 8 hours.  There are time release versions as well as vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) which gets metabolized to amphetamine.  Work with your prescriber to find the one or combo that works best for your needs.

Question 7

what are amphetamine salts er for?

Accepted Answer

Amphet.-ER: Extended release stimulants have been used to treat Attention deficit, Narcolepsy, Obesity, Depression in elderly, etc.

Question 8

could prolonged and excessive use of amphetamine salts cause enlarged atria?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can enlarge both atrial and ventricle through  various process and abnormal reactions.

Question 9

i take 10mg of amphetamine salt once in the morning. when should it wear off?

Accepted Answer

It depends: On you and how fast your body metabolizes and excretes the drug.
