Will splitting my adderall XR 25 mg capsule in half ruin the time release mechanism?

Monday, September 29th, 2008
enceladus23 asked:


I am obviously not intending to cut the capsule in half, but was planning on taking out half of the contents and just eating them with some apple sauce, and taking the capsule with the remaining prescription tomorrow.

I am just not sure whether the time release is controlled by the actual capsule or whether it is imbeded in the little bits of the drug themselves.

How do I get my cholesterol and triglycerides down?

Sunday, September 28th, 2008
happydawg asked:


I am 42 yrs old and my heart doctors nurse called me the other day to tell me to start taking a daily fish oil capsule and he would re check my lipid profile in 3 months. It all sounds kinda vague to me. I do not have a clue how to read the fat/polyunsaturated/cholesterol part of a food label. I would appreciate suggestions.
I am not stupid, but never had to think about this kind of stuff before.

Is it safe to consume large amounts of fish oil?

Saturday, September 27th, 2008
Shellshock asked:


I take anywhere from 10 to 16 grams a day (10,000 - 16,000 mg) of cholesterol-free fish oil capsules for it’s numerous benefits including the benefits it provides to the circulatory system and the brain. I’ve been taking this high dosage for at least two and a half months. I heard somewhere that it can lead to strokes and problems with blood clotting. I have no problem forming scabs if I get cut, but, can problems with blood clotting cause a stroke even though I form scabs fine? And how does fish oil cause strokes? Are there any other dangers caused by fish oil?

lindsay c asked:


I’m hoping to switch to a Vegan diet as soon as possible. I have one concern. I already have low Iron. I take an Iron capsule everyday, but when I feel weak because of it I’ll eat red meat. Now that I’m planning on cutting that option out of my diet, do you have any suggestions of how to get that extra bit… Thank you very much. Have a wonderful day.
