Q: does adderall have cocaine or crystal meth in it
Rosa,
Adderall does not contain cocaine or crystal meth. The chemical found in Adderall is similar to these products, but has been formulated to be safer than the illegal alternatives. However, it's important to mention that Adderall can still cause side effects such as agitation, dry mouth, and loss of appetite - similar side effects can be seen with cocaine and meth use. Also, Adderall is a controlled substance, meaning the person taking it has the potential to become addicted to it.
Best of luck,
Casey
I have done both Aderall and Crystal Meth, and I can tell you that the effects are exactly the same. Say what you will about the ingredients, they both do the exact same thing. It is ridiculous that someone would prescribe that to a child.
Take a look at this, on the DEA website. Click here. Scroll down to stimulants. They list adderall AS crystal meth..
"Crank, Ice, Cristal, Krystal Meth, Speed, Adderall, Dexedrine, Desoxyn"
Holy C**P, I have a friend whose kid is a meth addict. This week I heard a chemist who has worked for pharmaceutical company state that Adderall (spelling?) has methamphetamine in it. That is NOT all it has, but it has that in it. You totally can see on this chart you site that what my chemist buddy said is true.... Youch. After discovering this as a possible fact (because it is hard to believe this) I was curious if this little girl ever was prescribed Adderall for ADHD (or some other bogus diagnosis like this). To be surprise my friend said Yes, she did adderall for many years very young. Hmmm.. and now I know she is a meth addict. Youch these drugs can create drug addicts I guess because this one girl's life has been addict hell over this drug and it started with the legal version..... Very sad.
omg, and look higher.. a narcotic.. "Acetaminophen, Guaifenesin or Promethazine w/Codeine, Fiorinal, Fioricet or Tylenol w/Codeine" holy crap.. you're right.. they're all bad.
oh.. and hydrocodone as "vicodin and tussionex".. we should ban those too.. lol
It's not listed as crystal meth its listed as Amphetamine/Meth-Amphetamine.. but obviously that's over-arching and Adderall is Amphetamine.. not Crystal meth..
stop being a fear-mongerer
No it dosen't!!! I take it on a daily bases for my ADHD and it doesn't have bleach,paint thinner,acid tone,or any other chemical that burns holes in your brain like Meth does!!! It's the purest form of government grade Amphetamines and is safer for you if taken as prescribed!!! I did Meth before and wouldn't ever do that fucking shit again or wish that life style on anybody!!! I'm 7 yrs clean of Meth and will beat the crap out of some one who trys to come around selling it and using it and I want hessitate to call cops on their evil spun out skiny fish face looking like death!!! Meth accually makes your ADHD worse!!! It's all the chemicals that does it. Adderall is safer for you and doesn't have all the long term side effects like Meth does!!!
half of users who come here and post their replies are liars and bunch of kids.. they do not know anythin about amphetamine whether meth or adderall...so adderall is amphetamine and so is meth .... amphetamine is the father of methamphetamine
amphetamine wht u getting in ur body whether smokin snortin whatever u do with it... dont tell me you are 7 years addict and you are here typing on keyboard and discussing meth will make u sell your house and ur ass too
so for new users be aware what you read and dont let any body fool you
No!!! I worked the twelve steps of NA and have been clean over 7 years and don't need you being rude to me!!! Adderall is totally different than Meth. Meth has harse side effects that are harmfull to you. Adderall doesn't!!! Meth burns black holes in brain,causes brain damage,teeth to rot away,and your never the same after doing the evil drug Meth. Adderall doesn't!!! Adderall is alot safer for you than meth. Meth is the evil form of amphetamines with poisons added to it to fuck your world up. Meth does make ADHD more worse because of all the toxic chemicals added. I know all this because I studied all this and know from taken Adderall for quite some time. Meth is highly addictive and is harder to quit. Adderall isn't. I went a full week without taken Adderall and didn't jones for it or have any side effects from it like Meth does. I take Adderall as prescribed to focus and be in tune with life alot better. Just to let you know,I don't take it to get fucked up like the idiots that leave questions and fucked up answers on this website!!!!! I'm not a liar!!!!!! Full Blown Tweakers spun out on Meth are liars!!
hi
i know what i wrote is rude,,,but thats me all the time on amphetamine i dont realize what am doing only after the effects are gone and now i have cravings,
i understand that you dont abuse adderall like others do on this website but still so many people are addicted to adderall at the level of prescribed dosage and so many rehabs offer a cure for adderall addiction,and you know adderall is class 2 drug with cocaine and meth crystal meth is class 1
i just like to apologize for my rudeness and take care
Just to let you know, I'm a 38 yr old man,not a kid!!!!
You are being ridiculous. Just because one chemical is present in a drug, or because that drug is the chemical present in others is not a reason for alarm over, nervousness about, or revocation of said item. Adderall does indeed contain Amphetamine, but one essential point is being missed entirely.
When someone taking Adderall that is not prescribed it, or is prescribed it incorrectly, there is danger.. just as if someone were taking ritalin, allergy tablets, robitussun, or many other such drugs without reason and beyond recommendation.
The only fault here is those that site this drug as poison because it hurts some people. Well you know what? Chemotherapy is poison. It is bombarding the body with radiation that destroys cells.. but in patients with cancer it can be a Godsend.. much like Adderal can be to patients with ADD and ADHD. Continuing with this argument I must point to the website that links (20) deaths to Adderall.. really?? 20? how many have died to complications from Chemotherapy and surgery? This is a medication, and like any other medication, it has risks; especially to those who take it without provacation or exceed its recommended dosage.
Adressing it's similarity to "Meth": Meth is made with extremely poisonous materials to produce a quick, cheap, and addicting high.. Adderall, while apparently similar in many people's eyes, is produced to help those that need it, with clear regulations, and produced in a controlled setting without clearly poisonous chemicals. Those that are 'calling Adderall out' in a negative light, are those that really do not understand what a prescription drug is, or just have the inability to tell the difference.
"acid tone" - HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
yes they are in fact very similiar
the main ingredient amphetamine, in both
have very near effects tthe diffrence is meth has a load of other addictives and diffrent amphetamines too
I used to have adhd but i cured my self after many years. As a kid i took aderall and found it very useful.A few months ago i took an aderall to see how it affected me now, and the effects were horribly powerful.I checked the DEA for the effects of crystal meth and they were similar if no the exact symptoms.
Your argument that Adderall is not a good drug because it has similar side-effects and/or effects to other drugs is completely unsupported. No one could dispute that some drugs, such as Adderall, have effects similar to those of others, even illegal drugs, however siting an analogous relationship between two things does not make them both wrong, illegal, or harmful. Allergy medicine, Night-time sleepaids, Radiation Treatment, steroids (medicinal), antibiotics, and even vaccines have been PROVEN to have negative side effects which may mimic other substances.. yet, these are not considered, in all regards, in a negative light.
Stop using a correlation between the feelings and chemicals between two seperate things to judge the other.
Nicotine is a laxative.. so is "Ex-lax".. so "Ex-lax" causes lung cancer and is extremely addictive? Come on...
I was precribed adderol back in november of 2009. I have drug screens once a month, the past 3 months 3 drugscreens have tested positive for meth. I have not touched meth, so the only thing I believe that could have possibly failed me for meth is my adderol. I just got out of jail 2day after a wk of being locked up for just that failing for meth when I dont do it. Howis it that my med adderol showed up for meth. I was almost sent to prison just by being honest and holding my ground when arguing that meth has not been in body to have failed for that. Please believe me when I say I have not touched it. why is this happening and is there any link i can get to informing that it does indeeed show up as meth b/c no lawauthority believes me, they think im not being honest with myslf when i know for fact im i am

That's right, not illegal at all. It only has an Upper in it's purest form so you can get the effects quicker and get addicted to it much stronger than any street drug, because it's engineered in a lab to make sue you do! NO no not poisonous at all! Oh did you happen to check the death toll yet? Well here's a link with a small taste of how 'nonpoisonous' it is!!
