If one was prescribed 30mg Adderall two times a day, but has always suffered something of a weak stomach, what is a safe but effective method to preemptively prepared his/her stomach for the dose--WITHOUT potentiating the substance. Eating beforehand is not always enough to prevent this individual's stomach from cramping or pumping uneasily occasionally throughout the duration of the dose.

The biggest thing I ask posters to consider is "...WITHOUT potentiating the substance." Said user has been on stomach medication before (Prilosec, Zantac, etc.) along with antacids such as TUMS. But the problem with using these medicines to alleviate the stomach pains associated with Adderall is that they potentiate the drug, which ultimately perpetuates the cramps as well.

Is there an OTC one can take that DOESN'T potentiate the amphetamines?

Home remedies?

Please, refrain from suggesting to flush the Adderall. The positive far outweigh the risks, in this circumstance.

Thank You,

On pharmaceutical stimulants I would take a benzo before hand and smoke weed throughout if it is a long acting pill because I believe eating will eliminate the stomach cramps.

If you're not down to become a poly drug user then why not try some Pepto? Shouldn't that help?
 
Benzo beforehand is probably a great idea, I just thought it might counteract the effects of the stimulant, rendering one drowsy and unable to focus. Am I wrong about this? Can't take 2mg of alprazolam without getting tired. Opiates would be the DOC, but I can't imagine they would help this.

Wow, that would probably work actually. Forgive my naivety, (I should know this) but does Pepto not operate the same as antacids?
 
Not sure but I know girls take it for stomach cramps during periods. And 2mg alprazolam is too big a dose. I would simply just take 0.5mg. It's not good to mix uppers and downers as it would strain your heart but a small dose of one should be negligible.
 
I'll look into it!
Is it? Okay, perfect. Trying 0.5mg next time then. Thanks a lot for the recommendations.

Strain ones heart? i don’t believe this to be true. Do you have any sources for that statement?

The only reason i can see why it's not safe to mix uppers and downers are if you take big amounts of both and one of the drugs effect stops. You could find your self ODing.
 
the source is my head. i was just thinking since one drug is stimulating the CNS and the other is depressing it then it may cause a strain on the tissue or irregular heartbeat? idk i didn't mean to state it as a fact. i guess i should of inserted IMO or something. i ain't no doc

EDIT: ok it's apparently a common misconception that it is bad for you lol. I take back what i said.
 
It's all good. Like I said, 2mg always seemed to induce heavy drowsiness. Not looking to really feel much of the benzo, simply reduce the stomach problems it provokes. 0.5 mgs should do the job.
