AMPHETAMINE SULFATE vs METHYLPHENIDATE

My board of pharmacy just posted over 30 pages of updated rules today. Most of them are just putting more responsibility on the pharmacist for any mistake made in a pharmacy. Many of the disciplinary actions from our board are enforced on simple clarical errors that are not harmful to a patient (e.g

It was a slow day in the pharmacy and I started wondering why Adderall comes as "amphetamine salts" and not as one of the individual salt forms. For example, 5 mg of amphetamine salts is 1.25 mg each of: dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, and

Hi everyone. I started working as a retail pharmacist in October and I have made a few mistakes. I’m feeling a bit alone and ashamed. I know we make mistakes and all we can do is learn from it and try not to make the same mistake. I am thankful these mistakes did not cause harm to the patient but I

My clinician just gave me a simplified explanation of how they work and I thought I'd share! > Dexamphetamine: "yo brain, make more dopamine and noradrenaline right now and make sure to hold onto them for as long as possible" > Methylphenidate: "yo brain, hold onto the dopamine and noradrena

i dont know if anyone else feels like this for sure. but I often hear that I'm bad at responding to texts: because I am, granted. if I don't immediately respond as I get the message, it could take hours. even if we're having a "conversation" over text i sometimes just stop in the middle and don't re

As many of you know, the DEA has refused to allow an increase in manufacturing. This means that a lot of you can't get your meds and it isn't your fault. The pharmacy also can't fill a drug if the wholesaler won't ship it. Here are some workarounds that you may consider: \-Ask your doctor if you can

I've adjusted my dose in the past but the last time I did I just don't feel like it made a difference.

In France ADHD is treated for kid with Methylphenidate (Ritalin®, Rilatine®, Biphentin®, Concerta®, PMS-Méthylphénidate®) and is 100% reimbursed by social security But when you became adult at 18, we consider you magically healed from your ADHD and that there is not enough studies to give a treatmen

I was diagnosed with ADHD by my doc. I went through about 3 different medications, methylphenidate, Adderall, and Zoloft as well to treat symptoms. They did nothing and in fact Adderall made me even more sleepy. So my doc gave me one more choice and that was to try Welbutrin. He said if this didn’t

I got the diagnosis, I took my meds, I went to school, I applied for the jobs. I went to therapy, I meditated, I scheduled. I'm still failing, I'm still overwhelmed, I'm still hopping jobs, I still feel every godawful emotion that comes with being a chronic fuck-up magnified and in 4k. I'm constan
