Ok so right now I live in Reno, NV.
My doctor, who prescribes me adderall, had me take a drug(pee) test, before he will write me a 3-month prescription of adderall.
I am totally going to fail the drug test, but I took it anyways just so he would write me this month's prescription.
I figure that when the test shows positive for smoking weed, there isn't going to be anything the doctor can do by then, I'll already have my prescription.
anyways, are there any flaws with this plan.
also, has anyone else's doctor ever done this?
|
(obviously I will not be going back to this doctor next time, lol)
|
So, he put unfair PRESSURE on you?

what does smoking weed have to do with adderall
what business of it is his? can he even make you take a piss test before writing a prescription for a medication you are in need of and already using?
|
He'll probably recommend you some medical weed if all goes well.
;D
|
yes he put unfair pressure on me but he is the doctor I assumed if I said I wouldn't do it he would just tell me to go somewhere else
which is a huge hassle
|
cons: - you will show positive for an illegal substance - no jetpack
solution? +jetpack
|
why the fuck did you take that test? didn't you ask him what taking a drug test to get drugs is all about? seems suspicious
|
he's a doctor dude, not a cop
|
i didnt have to ask him, the reason he gave was something along the lines of
"adderal is a controlled substance, we don't want people taking adderal if they are also using other drugs" or whatever
which doesnt make any sense but I wasn't going to argue with him
|
Maybe he thinks you're selling it. If it's in your system, he will be wrong. Don't think there's really anything he could do otherwise.
I work in a pharmacy.. just recently, we had an instance where the pharmacist called the doctor after some weirdo only bought vicodin without getting the amox(which happens all the time, dunno why he called on this one), and the doctor even said, don't let her have the vicodin without the amox..but there wasn't anything we could do. Even while she was standing there. She ended up buying the amox though, because the doctor said he wanted her to take it.
|
anyways I now have my adderal prescription so unless some cops show up at my door and take it from me np
|
well whats funny is that ive been out of adderal for a week i dunno how long it stays in the system but if its less than a week i will show positive for weed but not for adderal
|
When you're on a prescribed drug that alters chemicals in your brain, like anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, mood stabilizers, ADD drugs, etc, you shouldn't be taking any other mind altering drugs. That's all there is to it. If you think your problem was serious enough that you need to be prescribed medication for it, then follow the doctor's advice.
He's not a cop and you aren't going to get in any criminal trouble for the results.
|
Well adderall XR only lasts 12 hours, that leaves me with 5~6 hours during a day to kill, many of which I smoke weed.
Well I mean I do smoke weed while on adderal but honestly I've seen 0 evidence it's harmful over the years, and that's beside the point.
I don't understand why the doctor would drug test, weed is illegal for everyone not just people who take adderal.
maybe it's what hasuwar said
|
who the fuck buys adderall?
worst case scenario: he calls you out on the weed and tells you to stop smoking while taking the adderall.
i mean, it is just weed ;/

I'm pretty sure there's an unspoken confidentiality agreement between doc and patient. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine, well as long as the weed/adderal combo isn't deadly or anything.

I was just looking up Adderall on wiki... check out this list of "side effects"
Side effects in adults * dry mouth[7] * loss of appetite[7] * difficulty falling asleep[7] * headache[7] * weight loss[7] * sexual desire
Um, is that last one even a "side effect"???
gotta go, brb going to store to get Adderall for my girl.
|
Move over to California and just get some Medical Marijuana.
|
nothing is going to happen. if it comes out positive, ur doctor is gonna b like "yo stop taking other drugs come back in another month for another test and if r clean u can get adderalls"
im pretty sure?

apart from the fact you sound like you live an absolutely pathetic life, everything should be fine...

Well shit... with the exception of #1, it sounds like weed is perfect for counteracting Adderall's side effects.

yea, I've done many things, but never any of the prescription drugs.......dunno why;x

doctor cannot legally report you to any authorities
don't worry about it... just talk to him. he's there to help you
edit: @OverTheUnder Travis legitimately needs adderall
edit2: seriously, my old man is a shrink, and a lot of the patients he sees are serious cocaine abusers, and one day I asked him why don't you just report them to the police, it would help these people, and he said he was legally bound by doctor patient confidentiality
|
If the doctor calls the cops on you because you tested positive for weed and a cop actually shows up, he/she must be having a slow day.
|
The last one is supposed to be "loss of sexual desire".
You know what actually wasn't even listed in the article until somebody added that in today. I call {unintentional?) vandalism.

(info pertinent for usa only)
- usually docs make you sign a "contract" if they are going to prescribe a controlled substance for more than 6 months; they don't have too but it is highly advisable that they do to protect themselves should there ever be a problem. This contract almost always says they can drug screen you randomly without a reason to test for compliance and illicit drug use etc.. if you are a child your parent would have to sign it etc. - you can always refuse the drug test regardless, but in general that means that is the last time he might prescribe you any controlled substance for sure (plus even see you as a patient etc.. depends on each doc) - in fact if you know you are going to test positive, and you go ahead and have the drug test, it will stay in your medical record (insurance companies will eventually know etc..) - doctors usually check patients when they suspect lack of compliance or drug abuse - but it can be purely random if they are following good practice guidelines - if you are under 16 they will inform your parents for sure and between 16-18 they should but some don't cause they don't know their laws - depends on different states too. Also to drug test a child you need parental consent (or judge order). - if they suspect your selling (i.e. diversion) your medications they can and some will report you to the authorities but in my experience very few actually do (its hard to prove plus messy) - they generally just fire you as a patient and don't see you again. - if you test positive for non-prescribed controlled drug, or illegal drug or you don't test positive for a controlled substance you are supposed to be taking that is probably the last time you will see him (they will usually ask you did you take your adderall this morning etc.. you better test positive for it) - drug tests take usually 24-48 hours if they are sent off to a lab, or can be immediate if they have the kit or tester in the office (most don't), if they use a local hospital lab they might have the results that same day too - in which case they will cancel your prescription by phone if you have not filled it yet when they find out - any time you lie to your doctor, is usually the last time they will see you

nice contribution entropy

People do by adderal though. College kids looking for a way to really concentrate on big tests buy some and take higher doses and it helps alot when you want to cram/get a lot of work done.

a good friend of mine who was diagnosed with ADD (takes adderall) also got a club card (legit) because he told his doc the adderall was stopping him from his normal eating habits and unable to sleep. Cure? i think we all know.

That's the kind of idiocy your doctor is probably looking out for. A lot of people abuse weed + adderall for the high, which is stupid cause adderall is an addictive drug even if weed isn't. Depending on your relationship with your doctor, he'll probably just try and get you to stop smoking.

what does it mean to "abuse" something for the high
what is the difference between "abusing" and simply "using"?
|
United States22883 Posts
I mean taking it specifically to get high instead of using it for its purpose and then getting high. I think abuse usually means oding, which is dangerous cause it's in the same class of addictive drugs like oxycontin, etc.
"This is a list of Schedule II drugs under the Controlled Substances Act for the United States. Required findings for drugs to be placed in this schedule: [1]
1. The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. 2. The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions. 3. Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence."

if you're not prescribed to it, no matter what it is, and you use it you're abusing it.
for example, i abuse xanax.

xanax is sweet. Smoked a blunt and took one last night, put me in lala land.
To op: I wouldn't sweat it. Worst that happens is that he won't give you the perscription and you have to go elsewhere.

Meh, I don't find myself onside with those definitions. I smoke weed from time to time - certainly don't abuse it. I drink from time to time - certainly don't abuse it.

yeah for a while there xanax was turning into my favorite drug. the only problem is that shit kills your memory. there are nights that all i'd use was weed and xanax and the next day i wouldn't remember anything. and to top it off xanax always gives you the urge to do wild stupid shit like break the windows of a burger king.

Hey guys learn to read: as long as you're not prescribed to it you're abusing it. Marijuana is considered drug abuse (except in Holland), no matter how much you smoke it. (Alcohol is different because it can't be prescribed while weed can. It falls more into the category of smoking.)
Drug abuse doesn't mean you're an dangerous addict or something though, relax. From a legal standpoint you're fucked if you get caught by the cops or something but otherwise it's fine obviously.
Oh and travis you won't get anymore drugs from your doc obviously, but at least he's not allowed to tell the cops about it.

ITT: D.A.R.E KIDS WHO NEED TO RESEARCH DRUGS FOR THEMSELVES.
But truth aside, i told my family doctor i do all sorts of drugs, but he still writes me scripts for xanax and adderall, i think it's because i've known him since i was born, and he knows i actually need them.

I've been taking adderall and smoking weed for 3+ years now. so far so good. I generally take an adderall in the morning and smoke towards the end of the day. This is great since the possible side effect of headache (if it does occur) occurs during the come down stage of adderall and weed usually solves that problem. Also, weed solves the appetite problem just in time for dinner. obviously it helps with the whole sleeping thing as well. The only obvious problem with the combination is dry mouth... drinking water usually solves this. or possibly chewing gum. As far as loss of sexual desire- logically, since weed is known to decrease testosterone, when you put the two together (weed+addy) you would think the results would be negative. However, in my experiences, if it is a problem, i am not conscious of it. In other words, while adderall does protrude on my sexual desire, adding weed to the mixture doesn't noticeably effect my sexual desire.

if you dont lead a shitty life, why do you take drugs then? could you explain why are you doing drugs? "to kill time"? wtf, there are so many things to do
Im not against drugs or whatever, but seriously, Im curious why do you use them, if your life is cool. There are many interesting things to do in life.. like starcraft and diablo and shit ;-)

The same reason people drink, moderate use of drugs can be a fun way to pass time, it doesn't always have to be some emotional or physical problem people are trying to get away from by using drugs.
Drugs don't have to be a negative thing o.o

no, adderall significantly decreases your sex drive -_- not only that, but it makes yur penis tiny :x
|
If your doctor does tell you not to smoke and take adderal at the same time maybe you should take his word for it. Or do some kind of proper research. Just because you don't notice the negative effects doesn't mean they're not there. Would you notice like, extra liver damage or anything like that? Or would it just sneak up on you in 25 years or so? I'm sure there's a handful of negative effects, which could be easily avoidable by say, doing weed only after the adderal wears off, which one would tend not to notice. Just ask him what the problem is or look it up somehow.

A test doesnt just "turn positive." You have to test for the presence of certain chemicals using different tests. IE, testing for the presence of opiates and cannibinoids is not the same process. So I was asking what the hell he was testing for, but if the op doesnt know then who the fuck can tell.

He'll probably do all the general testing pot is one of the things they definitely test for

Follow your animal instincts. If he thinks that you should take a drug test it's because he would like to smoke weed with ya! Didn't you notice his red eyes? Didn't you notice his way to walk? Or maybe he just wanted to drink some pee and already drunk his so he drunk yours...

woah memories whelp, it's already been bumped, i wonder what that guy said
|
he was advertising piss test kits or something
i remember failing a test because i had a caffeinated cola the night before. while the other guys who were smoking weed passed theirs because they flushed their system with water when they found out there was going to be a test the next morning

In my opinion, if you're taking adderal or any other amphetamine-derivative you're basically a sub-human. Call me biased but that's just my opinion. I've taken amphetamine once (I'm no stranger to various drugs) and I've said to myself - never again.
It's just my opinion though. No concern for alarm.

Well, it's a really strong opinion! Drugs affect users differently, so it might not be wise to make a generalization based on how it affected you specifically. Actually, to talk about this, back when this post was originally made I had been on adderall for about 3 years. In 2011 I went off of adderall. In 2017 I went back on it. The second stint was a horrible decision for me, I no longer needed the help, but the first stint is not something I regret - I feel like it was really helpful in my development as a person.

My friend started vaping marijuana because someone told him it's not harmful. Just for having fun. Yes, he started doing that more and more often. I started worrying. Read hundreds of articles on the Internet. I talked to him, but nothing helped. He says I should not worry. He can stop at any time. I don't believe in that. Read some articles also on AddictionResource about different rehab centers. Maybe I'm crazy, but I really don't consider this to be a funny habit.

I don't know about relations between doctors and patients in the usa but If you want a doctor to be able to truly help you then you should give him all information about your condition. The doctor needs it for a good diagnosis and the information is confidential. You should have told your doctor in advance if you want help with problems,unless all you want is an aderall prescription for your addiction lol. But that is not what doctors are for.

Wow holy bump Batman. Think original thread precedes me even being on TL.
Personal circumstances differ certainly. I’m on meds myself. I think personally from an outside perspective it’s not any individual‘s medicating habits that I find disturbing but how blasé and widespread Americans are about popping x pill culturally.
I was in psychiatric hospital for nearly a year and have had casual conversations where Americans ream off a bunch of medications they take for, no diagnosed condition whatsoever than what I take for Bipolar disorder under quarterly monitoring and blood tests.
