Accepted Answer

No: No i would not recommend this as they are both stimulants.

Question 3

would it be recommended to to take an adderral 20mg the same day as taking an adipex 37.5mg?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Question 6

can you tell me is adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) anything like phentermine?

Accepted Answer

Similar yet differen: Phentermine, a contraction of "phenyl-tertiary-butylamine", is a drug of the phenethylamine class, with pharmacology similar to amphetamine. It is used as an appetite suppressant. Therefore, while it's mechanism of action is similar to adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) it is not structurally similar to Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and belongs in a different chemical class. It is however a psycho stimulant drug.

Question 7

i'm taking phentermine, buspirone and escitalopram currently, a family friend, who is a doctor said adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) could replace all 3 medicines, true?

Accepted Answer

Not in my opinion.  : Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) does not even remotely treat the conditions that your buspirone and escitalopram do.

Question 8

if you have mitral valve prolapse and a pfo with an atrial septal aneurysm can you take stimulants like adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) or phentermine?

Accepted Answer

I wouldnt: Stimulants in pts like you can precipitate arythmias like supraventricular tachycardia and under the right cicumstances even afib. This can cause light headed and dizzy episodes and even strokes. Although the case of this happening is remote the results can be devastating. Since there are other alternatives to Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) i would start with a nonstimulant first.

Question 9

what is the difference between adipex and  ionamine?

Accepted Answer

No difference: Both are basically adrenaline or amphetamine type drugs. Both are basically the same: just different manufacturers. Can help lose about 5-10 pounds. Must be prescribed and monitored for changes in blood pressure or pulse rate. Can take for about 3 months. Must be combined with healthy eating. Lots of veggies, fruits, protein, and some grains.

Question 10

Different classes: Concerta is methylphenidate delivered in a sophisticated capsule that uses osmotic pressure to deliver the medication over time.
