What is Adderall /
Adderall XR?: Adderall is a stimulant specifically a
cocktail of amphetamine salts. Read up on these sections if you haven't done so already, because they cover a lot of information about multiple medications that I'm not going to repeat on many pages. I'm just autistic that way about not repeating myself. Other Forms: Extended Release (XR) What are the FDA Approved Uses of Adderall / Aderall XR:
Off-Label Uses of Adderall: Depression. Probably others, stay tuned for studies and more potential off-label uses. Adderall's pros and cons: Pros: A tried and true way to treat ADD/ADHD and narcolepsy.
Cons: Those triplicate prescriptions are a pain in the ass to deal with. |

The Overlords of the 12 Zernox Galaxies have compelled me through messages in the Sunday Chronicle to beg you for your support. Unfortunately I need money again, so if you can:
Visit the Support Page for how you can help if you don't have any money laying around. This includes reviewing Crazy Meds for Amazon.com and/or
There's also our Mental Mall to snag some free software, purchase some books or t-shirts.
Better yet, if you run a business and want to advertise on Crazy Meds, see our page on ad rates and policies. I'm all about fiscal transparency, so follow the money for full disclosure of my pitiful finances.
Take care of yourself, and keep taking your crazy meds!
Jerod
If you still have unanswered questions about this or other medications, including which
one is, or combination of meds are the best for you, your best bet is to ask on Crazy Meds Talk. Better
yet, if you want to let the world know how they worked out for you and want to help out
others in their quest for the correct meds, join the party.
If you want to discuss your issues, I suggest checking out one of the various
support groups online.
Otherwise, if you're letting me know about how much you like or hate the site, or
need to let me know about medication effects in private, then just drop a note to jerod23
at gmail dot com Honestly, I usually don't have a lot of time to answer e-mail
these days. The snide autoresponse message that may or may not hit your mailbox is
going to tell you the same thing.
Another problem is that you may not get a response even if I wanted to send you one.
You see, so many dickweeds with malicious intents and too much time on their hands have
appropriated the crazymeds.org domain name to use for their spam, viruses and the
like. Subsequently some lazy-ass e-mail protection software authors just go by the
domain name, and not the IP address. So I've been blacklisted because of the actions
of others. Or the software just doesn't like the domain name because of the
"crazy" and/or "meds." Or your question about a particular
medication will set off spam flags. So the e-mail just wouldn't go through
regardless. Sorry.

That's usually me, so just ask first. That means if want to print out a few pages to take to your doctor, therapist, counselor, support group, non-understanding family members or something like that - then that's OK to just do. Go for it! Please. As long as you include this copyright notice and the following disclaimer, I'm cool with it.
All rights reserved. No warranty is expressed or implied in this information. Consult one or more doctors and pharmacists before taking, or changing how you take any neurological and/or psychiatric medication. Your mileage may vary. What happened to us won't necessarily happen to you. Nobody on this site is a doctor, therapist, or a pharmacist. We don't portray them either here or on TV. Only doctors can diagnose and treat an illness. Some doctors tend to get pissed off by patients who know too much about medications, so tread lightly when and where appropriate. Diagnosing yourself from a website is like defending yourself in court, you suddenly have a fool for a doctor. Don't be a cyberchondriac, thinking you have every disease you see a website about, or that you'll get every side effect from every medication. Self-prescribing is just as dangerous. All information on this site has been obtained through personal experience, the experiences of my friends, the experiences of people reported on online support groups, and from sources that are referenced throughout the site. Know your sources! As such the information presented here is not a substitute for real medical advice from your real doctor, just a compliment to it. No neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists or pharmacists were harmed in the production of this website. All brand names of the drugs listed in this site are the trademarks of the companies listed after them in the pages about the drugs, even though those companies may or may not have been acquired by other companies who may or may not be listed in this site by the time you read this. Always read the PI sheet that comes with your medications and never ever throw them away. If you didn't get a PI sheet, demand one. Loudly. Crazy Meds is not responsible for the content of sites we provide links to. We like them, or they're paid advertisements, or they're something you should read to make an informed decision about a particular med. Sometimes they're more than one of those things. But what's on those sites is their business, not ours. Very little information about visitors to this site is collected or saved. And from time to time I do look at search terms used to find it in an effort to make the information I present more relevant. Use only as directed. Void where prohibited.
