That's what Mayfield and his attorney are saying...of course he isn't going to come out and say it was methamphetamines.

ADD drug + Claritin does not equal meth.

Is Mayfiled the same white trash guy that attacked a first base ump at a White Sox game? I can't keep all the white trash people straight.

Just curious if you are a chemist and know how all the various ingredients in these two drugs can react with each other?

Nah, he's just tried to make meth before with ADD drugs and Claritin and wasn't successful.

Is that a serious question?

Do you honestly think that mixing ADD medication and Claritin makes meth? Really? Why would people make meth labs then if it was really that easy?

Yes its a serious question!!!

And I for one don't think mixing those to medicines will make crystal meth (the one everyone in this post seems to be thinking of), but the various ingredients in them could mix to make a form of meth that would show up on a drug test. There are many forms of methanphetamine not just crystal meth which most people refer to as meth. Its not that hard to fathom considering Clariton is a nasal decongestant just like sutifed and who knows what ADD medicine has in it.

I used to think crystal meth everytime I heard the word methanphetamine until I went to a client's business that was a recovery center for women (who had mostly been addicted to crytal meth) and the bookkeeper there was explaining to me all the various types of methanphetamines besides crystal meth.

Actually, a form of meth is sometimes used to treat ADHD, so his story might be plausible. Dextromethamphetamine (medical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
