20mg ritalin vs 30mg adderall

I am on 20mg twice a day, and that has worked out very well for me. I have tried the extended release Adderral,Vyvanse and concerta, none have worked as well as the 2 - 20mg a day. Originally Posted by Dawn Joy I was wondering if anyone knows what is the best substitute for Adderral, since there is a nationwide issue trying to fill your Adderral scripts. I had trouble filling a scrip for Adderall in late August and was told a similar story, that there is a "shortage" or something.

I waited 10 days and they got it in. The next month they had it and I didn't have to wait, same with his month. But, well - it's your life. Although Ritalin and Adderall contain different ingredients, they are both classified as CNS stimulants and are thought to work in a similar way in ADHD - by increasing the concentration of two neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.

Direct comparison studies and placebo trials indicate that both drugs are effective in ADHD, although it is worthwhile noting that most trials are of poor quality and short duration. Ritalin and Adderall are both associated with sleep problems and a decreased appetite; in addition, Ritalin is more likely to cause stomach pain.

Not everybody responds equally to either Ritalin or Adderall so if one treatment is ineffective or intolerable it is appropriate to try another. Abuse or dependence potential is untested, but likely to be similar. More detailed information Are Ritalin and Adderall the same? It takes time and abstinence before the brain is able to replenish receptors and increase dopamine levels following Dexedrine or Adderall usage.

Due to the fact that there are less dosing increments associated with Dexedrine, and it is generally considered more potent than Adderall, it may be tougher to discontinue.

Those taking Adderall should have an easier time titrating their dosage downwards prior to complete discontinuation. Adderall Below is a synopsis of the commonalities between Dexedrine and Adderall. Both Dexedrine and Adderall are considered to have a high potential for abuse. These drugs are classified as psychostimulants, and function by increasing CNS stimulation. Both drugs are clinically effective for ADHD and narcolepsy; there is no evidence to suggest superior efficacy for one over the other.

The estimated elimination half-life of Dexedrine is 12 hours, while that of Adderall is estimated to range between 11 and 13 hours. They are legal to possess and use when prescribed to treat a medical condition, but are illegal if used outside medical constraints.

Each of these drugs inhibits reuptake of stimulatory neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. They also elicit further presynaptic activity, stimulating increased release of these neurotransmitters. The side effect profiles of these drugs is nearly identical, with subtle differences as a result of the presence of levoamphetamine in Adderall.

Discontinuation of either psychostimulant is a difficult endeavor, characterized by severe fatigue, psychomotor slowing, and sleepiness. Adderall Below are some differences between Dexedrine and Adderall. Dexedrine is the most expensive brand name option, whereas the generic Dexedrine is actually slightly cheaper than generic Adderall XR. I just felt numb meds? I started to see a NP who helped a friend of mine. She was very nice. She put me on Prozac.

I'm also curious to know if the recommended medication regimen is different for these two diagnoses? It gives me more consistant energy that seems relatively normal not hyper and it makes it easier for me to concentrate and get school work done.

My doctor a CFS specialist told me that these two meds can work differently with different people, particularly with the brain function- when Provigil did nothing for the brain he had me switch and try Adderall, and voila, results. I take 5mg of Adderall daily in the morning and have no problems sleeping at night or in the afternoon if needed.

It doesn't stunt my appetite either, which is great. For example I didn't take any today and I would call this a non-day, just like life used to be all the time - I'm "mostly dead".

In retrospect, it seemed as if I came home from work "pre-loaded" to be irritable. Over time, that became very wearing on the relationship between my wife and me, and on my two daughters my impatience gradually over time put space between them and me. Now things are much improved between me and my wife; unfortunately the mending between me and my two adult daughters will take more time, but it's happening.

Thanks to adderall and educating myself. So, I think you done right to work on your relationships at home When I first started on Adderall first regular, then settled on XR my body experienced an array of side effects, which included heart racing, dizziness on occaision, etc I don't know how long you've been taking it, but if it's been a few weeks, there's certainly still time for things to settle down.

It took my body a couple months to acclimate insofar as heartrate went.
