Question

Side effects of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) in a teen?

Answer 1

Please notify: Your prescribing provider of your side effects, so that he or she can give your further guidance.

Answer 2

Maybe: All medications have side effects, but to the best of my knowledge, long term use does not lead to adrenal insufficiency.

Answer 3

No Adrenal Failure: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) or other stimulant medications do not cause adrenal failure (a serious life threatening disorder). In the popular magazines they talk about "adrenal fatigue" which ahas a variety of symptoms. There is little support in the science literature of this "syndrome". If you have symptoms that you have not had before, talk with your doctor and see if a workup is necessary.

Answer 4

No: What you could do is contact the manufacturer. Show them proof that you were legitimately on this medication and quite often they can mail you samples for free. There's a special form to fill out, and i believe your physician also needs to fill out a portion of the form. Don't buy it on the internet. It is a schedule ii drug. Dea can prosecute you for this without a valid prescription.

Answer 5

Talk with your Dr: Adderall XR is still a pretty expensive drug. However, generic Adderall and generic Ritalin (methylphenidate) are less expensive. Your doctor may be able to give you a 3 month supply of one of these (under code b if in ny) and you may be able to get it from a deeply discounted pharmacy such as walmart or a membership club, or mail-order pharmacy. Good luck.

Answer 6

Time: If you have been off adderal for a 24-36 hour period, it is essentially out of your system. You may experience some side effects from not being on the medication, either chemical or physical dependence symptoms, but the drug is essentially gone.

Answer 7

Stop taking it -wait: Stop taking it. You may need to take a really long walk but mostly just wait until your body metabolizes it.

Answer 8

Iatrogenic: Attention deficit is iatrogenic, find out what causes anxiety.

Answer 9

Stop taking it: Simply stop taking your Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and it will get out of your system in a few days. However, if you have taken Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) for a long time or in high doses, you may have some trouble stopping it abruptly and should probably taper the dose down gradually by 5-10mg every few days before stopping it. Even then, it is possible that you may have difficulty stopping it because you could be addicted to it.

Answer 10

Don't : Instead, talk about your symptoms and why you believe Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can help you.

Answer 11

Be Straightforward: Let the doctor do the work. Honestly describe your symptoms, answer her questions as best you can, take any tests she thinks are indicated. In the context you can say you think you have a condition that responds to Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and see if she thinks that is so. If you feel like you are being blown off ask to see a psychiatrist who is expert in adhd.

Answer 12

Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): Usual maximum daily dose of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is 60 mgm, but some psychiatrists use doses as high as 100mgm to 200 mgm off label in some patients who have develope tolerance to the drug. Fda approved dose is 60 mgm max.
