My doctor gave me 20 mg of adderall to take in the morning. Well around 2:00 it wears off and I am still at work. I have some 10mg pills left over from a previous prescription. Would it be okay to break one of the 10mg in half and take it? Is anyone else on adderall - what is your dosage per day?

By the way - I have been noticing that I dont get the same effects recently as I was when I first started taking it. I have been on it 1 1/2 months.

I'm 15
I have been on Miralax for almost a week now, although I don't have any constipation, in fact I don't really have any bowel movement problems except, when I do go, there's bright red blood, my GI doctor prescribed it to me because I have persistent abdominal pain (is she nuts?) and since the first day I started taking it (normal 17 dosage, once a day, mixed in juice in the morning) I have been having diarrhea, it's disgusting, and after I take it I have trouble breathing and extreme dizziness, I can't see or walk without falling over, my doctor says these are just side effects, keep taking it...I don't know why anyone would use this if side effects are as bad as mine...My GI doctor refuses to talk to me, why, I don't know? My mom tells her my symptoms, go in one ear, out the other.
As far as the abdominal pain, the medication isn't working, and since I was never constipated in the first place, my stools are worse.
Is Miralax working normally, or is it not working?

Says she loves me and wantsme, but has lesbian cybersex at night even after we have sex, and a lesbian lover beyond that. She has psychotic detachements of staring, mumbling and talking to her dead mother that lasts for 10 -20 minutes. After which she has no memory of it. She has had her labs and her lithium is 0.7 and depakote is also at ok levels. Dr says her meds are working, and I say they are not because of her symptoms. The dr says that my wife is doing this on purpose. I think the dr is all wrong and she needs something. We live in Hawaii and there are not any dr taking new patiants.

I smoked a small amount of pot the other day, and I have bloodwork on wednesday. They will be testing me for cholestorol, pregnancy, etc.... This is not something I am terribly afraid of someone knowing, I just want to know if it is something that they have to tell you they will be testing you for.
