"Steroid" is a general term, strictly it refers to any hormone whose molecule looks like that of cholesterol!\n\nThe most talked-about steroids are the anabolic steroids, such as testosterone.  These are what are used by athletes such as bodybuilders to achieve gains in muscle mass.  Dehydroxytestosterone is one long fancy chemical name for a popular anabolic.\n\nBut, there are also such things as "catabolic" steroids.  "Catabolic" means to break down ("anabolic" means build up, of course!).  Cortisol, a catabolic hormone made by our own bodies, is produced in response to various stressors; it tames our immune system and tries to stop it from overreacting.  In the process, it has to break down muscle tissue and become prepared to store excess energy in the form of fat.  People with excess cortisol (generally due to a tumor) generally have what is known as a Cushing's disorder, and obesity is its hallmark.\n\nCortisol and molecules like it are also given as drugs for various conditions, including multiple sclerosis, lupus, cancers, asthma, allergies, and the list goes on.  Cortisol's family is the "corticosteroids", and includes corticosterone, methylprednilosone, prednisone, and dexamethasone.  People do get put on these for various conditions, again... so if they're telling you they're taking steroids, it's probably not the kind that'll buff 'em up! ;-)

This drug would affect you regardless if you have ADD/ADHD or not. This is an amphetamine and has a high potential for abuse. \n\nYou shouldn't be taking this drug if it's been prescribed to someone else. Prescriptions are made base on age and weight and symptoms. Adderall has powerful side effects such as elevated blood pressure, heart palpitations and insomnia, (to name a few) that could be worse for you than what the drug is doing for you. Any treatment program for mental diagnosis' includes more than just drugs. If you did have ADD/ADHD, you would need other aspects of treatment for success. This would include but is not limited to; therapy sessions with an MD. Seek help from a doctor before you continue this medication.

Itavil is the generic name for Asenlix, which can show a positive result for amphetamines, 93% d isomer.  Asenlix contains clobenzorex, which can metabolize to amphetamine. The United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) (21 U.S.C. section 331) prohibits the interstate shipment (which includes importation) of unapproved new drugs. Thus, the importation and use of drugs that lack FDA approval, whether for personal use or otherwise, violates the Act. \n\nIt does NOT result in a false positive for amphetamines; it is a TRUE positive as the clobenzorex metabolizes to amphetamine.\n\nIf you test positive, you will not be given consideration for having taken an illegal diet pill, as it is illegal in the U.S.

Predominantly, stimulant drugs such as Ritalin, which are pharmacologically similar (and more potent) than Cocaine. \n\nThere is actually no such thing as "ADD" or "ADHD". It is a total fraud. It was and is generally considered, outside the psychiatric and drug company circles, to have been invented (it was VOTED into existence by a show of hands at an APA committee meeting) solely for profit**.\n\nSuch behavioural characteristics that Psychiatry created this unscientific "disease" from are, and always have been, considered NORMAL. Now, it seems, inattention or "hyperactivity" (Hyperactivity means 'excessively active'* --- what is excessive? On whose authority?? It's ridiculous!!) is abnormal, a "mental illness".\n\nFor a rundown of the exact diagnostic criteria of "attention deficit disorder" visit: http://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/diagn...\n\nFor information on the junkscience behind psychiatric "testing" for "ADHD" visit: http://adhdtesting.org/\n\nFor a list of what inattention COULD be attributed to (rather than some fraudulent "mental illness") visit: http://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/diagnosticcriteria.msnw\n\nFor more information, see;\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/addadhd.msnw\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/adhdfacts.msnw\nhttp://www.adhdfraud.org\nhttp://www.ritalindeath.com/\nhttp://cchr.org/files/7515/child_drug_EN.pdf\nhttp://www.ablechild.org/\n\nMike\n\n--\n\n"We are not "overdrugging" or misdiagnosing" ADHD. ADHD is a total, 100 percent fraud. The many millions of schoolchildren around the world who are being drugged have no disease." Fred Baughman, Jr., M.D. Child Neurologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.\n\n"Parents are seldom told that Ritalin is ‘speed’—that it is pharmacologically classified with amphetamines, has the same effects, side effects, and risks. Yet this is well-known in the profession...." Dr. Peter R. Breggin & Ginger Ross Breggin, The War Against Children, P. 84.\n\n"...But because ADD is so vaguely defined, even for a psychiatric disorder, it is tailor-made for bogus claims.

The answer is probably not. They primarily use them for muscle bulk, but they have the added side effect of promoting other types of growth.\n The main issue now with steroids is the issue of pharmocogenetic medicines, which are particularly adapted to certain genetic types, promoting certain positive functions within the body. This has led to the issue of gene doping where a foreign DNA strand  could be introduced through a specially designed drug. For example, a drug could be developed to promote oxygen saturation in the blood, which at present many athletes use Ethryopoetin, a kidney drug, to do. \n It is unlikely that steroid and general drug use will ever be stopped in sport. The development of synthetic hormones and better masking agents will make detection even more difficult. Also, at present testing for some drugs such as ethryopoetin (EPO) is incredibly difficult, with a EPO test requiring 180 seperate tests and needing highly speciallised equipment and testing. \n This situation may be explained by the particualar focus that the media have on some sports, such as cycling. With more minority sports, with less athletes competing in worldwide competition, it may appear that the problem is more serious than actually is the truth.\n If you can read French then Massacre a la Chaine is worth a read. It focuses primarilly on the Festina affair, where a staff member of a cycling team was discovered with doping products in the car he was using in the Tour De France. It details not only the actual events in the 1998 scandal, for which his team, Festina, were disqualified, but also his own cycling career and drug use then. But I beg you, please don't think all cyclists are like that- most cyclists and tifosi (cycling fans) are ashamed.

Prednisone is a steroid and it will absolutely cause insomnia.  It can also cause irritability and increased sweating.  You're on a dose that was probably prescribed for some type of inflammatory problem or possibly for a respitory issue.  It will decrease as your dosage decreases.  Prednisone is a nasty drug with all types of bad side effects however, for people with chronic inflammation they are on maintenance dosages for long periods of time.

Do you mean "dexamethasone steroid"?

Hi, absolutely NOT. Seeing that it is a chemical stimulant the first person who answered yes would seem to be right, however, the intended desired effect on children is to increase attention and therefore side-effects such as tachacardia (heart racing or beating more than 100 times/minute) would not tend to produce this result. Also, recent studies have shown that sudden cardiac arrest (actual death !) can occur in some children and these symptoms should be brought up to your Doctor immediately. I am not trying to scare you but I have been in the pharmaceutical industry and these side effects have gotten alot of publicity lately. For most people adderall appears safe, but a rapid heart rate should be brought to the attention of the prescribing physician.

Steroids.  That's their intended purpose.

Adderall is a stimulant and appetite suppressant. It stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain) by increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the body. This increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases appetite, among other effects. \n •  Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD). \n •  Adderall may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. \nstimulant drugs like Adderall and Ritalin have become popular as either recreational drugs or “speed” for people who like to stay awake all night and party or for late night cram sessions. Adderall is a stimulant drug like other stimulant drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, and caffeine. When taken recreationally, Adderall is sometimes crushed and snorted through the nostrils or taken orally. Amphetamines like Adderall have a high potential for abuse. Taking amphetamines for long periods of time may lead to drug addiction. Misuse of Adderall may cause sudden death and heart attacks or other serious heart problems.\n\nSide effects of Adderall abuse \n\nsuppression of growth in height (if you are still growing) \nexcessive sweating \ndecreased appetite \nexcessive talking \nnervousness \ninsomnia \nnausea \nvomiting \ndizziness \nheart palpitations \nheadaches \nskin rashes \nitching \ndigestive problems \ntoxic psychosis \ndrug dependence (addiction) \nsevere depression upon withdrawal \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
