[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I am a doctor and I stand by advice to work with a doctor skilled in prescribing psychostimulants.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt thinking perhaps you were mis-remembering what you'd seen.  Instead, I see you exemplify the problems with "research by Google".  You don't have sufficient knowledge to understand and evaluate what you read.

Addiction and abuse are very different things.  Pretty much every chemical in your house or shed can be abused in some way (just Google it to find out).  That doesn't make them addictive nor must they be avoided.  Vyvanse is a stimulant but that effect is limited by the body's ability to process it, particularly in the gut and liver which is where lisdexamfetamine is absorbed.  Also, the doses given to the subjects you cited are well above the allowable prescribed levels.   In order to experience effects equivalent to immediate release dextroamphetamine, the subject took 150 mg - more than twice the maximum recommended dose.  I know from experience that some insurance companies won't reimburse medication costs for doses in excess of 70 mg and if a patient doesn't have significant improvements at 70 mg, it's time to try another product.

Well, DOCTOR. I found these PILLS in my BROTHER'S CAR. He was using them to GET HIGH as he has done with PERCOCET and VICODIN. HE has an ADDICTION issue and he ABUSES prescription pills that he DOES NOT OBTAIN FROM A DOCTOR. He BUYS them from some lowlife who sells the crap to addicts.

I witnessed my brother take TWO 60mg pills and then vomit, shake, sweat, and get sick, but enjoy a small high.

So.... while they are supposedly "high proof" in theory in the "doctor" world, in the addiction/abuse world the reality is much different. It's alarming to me that a physician would argue with someone about whether or not a medication is addictive and abusive when the person reaching out is obviously experiencing an issue with the medication.

Again, my brother is indeed taking these pills for a high. And he is indeed experiencing one, time release or not. And since he didn't purchase the pills from a PHARMACY through his INSURANCE it's moot whether or not his insurance reimburses for the pills, no?

So, again. Addict. Pills. High. Thanks for the help and the argument all knowing physician.[/quote]

Maybe some ADHD medication would help you concentrate on what you read. The doctor was very articulate but you still don't understand what she's saying. Besides, if your brother is so fucked up that he's willing to endure the "[i]vomit, shake, sweat, and get sick[/i]" just to enjoy the small high he can get from a massive dose of a time release stimulant, I don't know why you even bothered posting in the first place.  You should be suspicious of [b]whatever [/b]he has in his possesion even if it's as innocuous as aspirin.  [/quote]
