You can get Adderall through Express Scripts as they have trained pharmacists who are familiar with ADHD medications.

Amazon pharmacy does not fill Adderall prescription as Adderall is a controlled substance and Amazon Pharmacy cannot fill prescriptions for controlled substances or schedule II controlled substances.

If you take Adderall and your not ADHD or have ADHD or ADD then the Adderall can make you jittery and disrupt your concentration and elevate your heart rate as well as impair your decision making abilities.

After the Adderall leaves your system then it will result in a crash that makes you feel fatigued and sluggish due to the lack of dopamine in the brain.

Feeling so tired when you don't take your Adderall is a sign of stimulant withdrawal.

When not taking Adderall after taking it you can suffer from other withdrawal symptoms which include changes in mood, irritability, depression, insomnia or feeling fatigued or unusually tired.

Stomach cramping, nausea and or vomiting can also occur in people who stop taking Adderall.

The new Adderall is Ritalin, Concerta and Daytrana (methylphenidate); Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine); and Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine). Nonstimulant alternatives to Adderall include Strattera (atomoxetine), Intuniv (Guanfacine) and Kapvay (clonidine).

The closest drug to Vyvanse is Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta.

Concerta is better than Vyvanse and acts more quickly and is less expensive although Vyvanse lasts longer and has fewer side effects.

The closest drug to Vyvanse is Adderall, Ritalin and Concerta.

70 mg of Vyvanse is equal to 25 mg to 30 mg of Adderall.

The ADHD medicines that are comparable to Adderall are Ritalin, Daytrana, Concerta, Vyvanse and Dexedrine.

Adderall and Ritalin are both effective prescription drugs to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.

Research has shown that Ritalin may be better for children and adolescents while Adderall may be better for adults.

Those who cannot and should not take Ritalin are people with heart disease, prior heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, nervous system issues or if you don't have ADHD.

Ritalin does not cause weight gain and in fact Ritalin can have the opposite effect and cause weight loss due to a reduced appetite.

Taking Ritalin most often reduces your appetite so you lose weight instead of gaining weight.

If you take Ritalin without having ADHD the Ritalin can have the opposite effect, stimulating the user and delivering a euphoric high.

Taking Ritalin does increase your energy especially when the Ritalin is taken in higher doses.

Ritalin does help with depression and sometimes people with chronic depression or depression will be prescribed Ritalin to help with the depression.

Ritalin and other psychostimulants are sometimes used for chronic depression that does not respond to conventional antidepressants.

Ritalin does change your personality such as having higher self-confidence, more talkative, and the person taking Ritalin can become much more emotional.

Ritalin is pretty safe for short term use as long as you don't take too much Ritalin and as long as you don't stay on Ritalin for too long.

Ritalin can cause permanent damage if you take too much Ritalin or take Ritalin for a very long time.

In the long term, Ritalin can cause musculoskeletal complications when misused or taken in too large of doses.

Such cases can lead to muscle pain and weakness, as well as joint pain.

Ritalin does change your brain as it stimulates your brain to help you calm down.

Ritalin influences both the dopamine and norepinephrine activity in your brain.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that affects pleasure, movement, and attention span.

Norepinephrine is a stimulant.

Ritalin increases the action of these neurotransmitters by blocking their reabsorption into your brain's neurons.

Ritalin works in your body by stimulating your brain and nervous system and calms you down.

Ritalin when taken will make you feel very up,  awake, excited, alert and energized, and it can also make you feel agitated and aggressive.

When the Ritalin is working you'll usually be feeling very “up,” and excited, alert, awake, and overly energized.

Other signs that Ritalin is working include.

Increased heart rate or blood pressure.
A decreased appetite.
Trouble falling or staying asleep.
Irritability, as the medicine wears off.
Nausea or vomiting.
Headaches.
Mood swings.

Ritalin takes between 20 to 30 minutes to work although for some people it may take as long as 60 minutes for the Ritalin to work the first time.

When you take Ritalin it takes between as little as 20 to 30 minutes of taking the Ritalin.

Other medicines can take as long as a week to work but Ritalin works much faster.

Ritalin is not really a steroid.

 Ritalin is a Methylphenidate, which is a Central Nervous System (CNS) Stimulant.

Methylphenidate, sold under the brand names Ritalin and Concerta, among others, is a stimulant medication that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and, to a lesser extent, narcolepsy.

Ritalin stimulates the mind and body in adults and can calm children down.

It's used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

However, it's not usually recommended for children younger than 6 years old.

As stimulant drugs, methylphenidate and the methylphenidate-based drugs can make you feel very 'up', awake, excited, alert and energized, but they can also make you feel agitated and aggressive.

They may also stop you from feeling hungry.

RITALIN is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant prescription medicine.

It is used for the treatment of Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

RITALIN may help increase attention and decrease impulsiveness and hyperactivity in patients with ADHD.

Ritalin is generally a safe and effective medication for the short-term treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy.

However, Ritalin can cause a range of side effects, and its long-term safety and effectiveness are still under investigation.

It has been shown that acute administration of methylphenidate in adults reduces anxiety, in both animal models and humans.

On the other hand, chronic treatment during early ages (postnatal and young subjects) results in higher anxiety in adults.

When you first start taking Ritalin, you might experience improved mood, and almost a sense of euphoria.

This can translate to everyday physical activities being easier to accomplish.

Unlike some of the older antidepressants, for example, which could take up to two or three weeks to work, Ritalin begins working within twenty to thirty minutes after the child swallows it.

For young people who don't have ADHD, recreationally taking Ritalin may lead to changes in brain chemistry associated with risk-taking behavior, sleep disruption, and other undesirable effects, a new study suggests.

While medications like Ritalin or Adderall may make some feel more alert, they may not improve test-taking or study skills.

The most effective way to improve your grade is to start early, give yourself plenty of time to study, get consistent sleep and take regular breaks.
