Taking adderall with xanax

Common Questions and Answers about Taking adderall with xanax

adderall

Avatar n tn I also take adderall for add and xanax for anxiety. The reason that you are experiencing anxiety like symptoms from the adderall is because adderall is a stimulant. It is a mix of amphetamine and dextoamphetamine salts. It is a schedule II drug. Schedule I drugs are the worst classification and it goes down to schedule V. This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you?
Avatar m tn re not experiencing the full effects because xanax is sort of the opposite of adderall. Adderall speeds your brain up, xanax mellows you out. If you want the adderall energy, it would probably be better to lower dosage or cut out xanax altogether rather than continually upping the adderall. Your bp may be a bit raised on adderall anyway, no need to put excess pressure on your heart by making it work against a downer like xanax.
Avatar f tn My dr added adderal to my prozac and xanx he says i have refractory depression or something like that,i felt better yesterday after taking the adderall...but i hear im at higher risk for serotoyin syndrome....any others on these meds..
Avatar f tn i was on xanax for 17 years and it was my happy pill then i cold turkeyed off it in 2007 have been on either ativan or klonopin since....in march a dr put me back on xanax and im wondering if it will help with my anxiety..or maybe it wont work since i was on it so long...i havr refractory depression and on prozac and adderall and cant tell much differnce..its been a month on the adderall all ist does is up my heartrate adn makes me get all anxious over that..
Avatar f tn Personally I would get rid of the Adderall and try to a withdrawal from Xanax and maybe go with an SNRI. Maybe adding Wellbutrin with the SNRI or other antidepressants. See, you can try different combination and the odds are good that you will eventually find something that works. Anyway it's probably all issues you will discuss with your new doctor in June.
193953 tn?1272075026 I was taking 1-2 mg Xanax at night for sleep. I never abused it. It was to help with the sleeplessness. I take 60 mg of Adderall a day and I have cut that back to 30mg. I do not abuse this at all, I am very scared of it. Norco is the only thing that I was abusing. I have been without it for a week, Xanax 2 weeks and I am cutting down on the Adderall by half. I will eventually come off of it. I can taper it because I don't abuse it.
452191 tn?1208754863 I take lamictal, adderall, Xanax and another mood stabilizer. Im an extremely successful 31 year old with a full and amazing life. To everyone else: Be patient with your meds. Keep a journal and please know that when you get the combination right your life will change. Keeping a mood journal is so helpful. You are on the right track as long as you do not do anything against your Doctor's orders.
Avatar f tn s a downer (Xanax) so yes it will lower your norepinephrine and dopamine levels which Addrenall is trying to raising but Xanax will top Addrenall so yeah basically your are canceling your Addrenall dose by taking Xanax at the same time.
1744544 tn?1311299862 I was diagnosed ADD almost 3 years ago and was then started on Adderall along with my already prescribed Xanax for Anxiety, which was diagnosed when I was 9. My DR took me from 20mg, to 30mg, to 40mg, to 60mg (20mg 3 times a day) in a matter of about 3 months. So, for over 2 years, I have consistently taken 60mg of Adderall.
Avatar f tn I do not know how many pills aday you got down to. But I would not be taking adderall while you are in w/d's. I am no Dr, but it seem to me that it might be dangrous. Think about it. Your B/P will be high while you are in w/d's. and if you take the adderall I would thing it would speed up your heart. and maybe up your b/p as well. Why don't you follow the Thomas recipe.(bottom right of this page) That I think would be a hole lot better...
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take 30mgs of adderall, 4-8mgs of Xanax and 4-6mg of suboxone a day?
Avatar f tn You need to get honest with doctor here and tell him what you are doing. This is a very dangerous game you are playing here. The other meds you are taking need to be tapered also. Mixing other drugs with sub is not good at all.
Avatar m tn i am currently taking crestor, leppresor, adderal and xanax i have copd it seems my copd is getting worse is one of these medications effcting my breathing
Avatar f tn just like me , I take 3 .5 mgs of xanax and I take 20 mgs of adderall xr plus 2 10 mgs of adderall irs a day I have anxiety , insomnia and adhd add combo ( plus panic disorder and agorphobia) I recently hoped on the hole xanax and adderall thing , no complaints is it bad?
Avatar f tn okay so I've had a lot going on in my life and my depression started getting worse so I started seeing a psychiatrist and I have only been on Prozac for almost a month. I hear bad and good things about it.
621290 tn?1226720261 I have been going for 7 monthsa nd am on 95 mgs daily. I have taking both adderall(up to 80mgs at one time), xanax(up to 8 mgs), and my daily methacdone and I am fine, but that is not recovering fully. Yes i am prescribed all of them(crazy i know), but soe ppl react badly or are sensitive to any one of theses potent drugs and could react badly and die.
Avatar m tn my mind feel completely brain dead and feels like i cant function and dont know what to do, right now i feel jittery and cant concentrate at all, Cant really eat either. Are these caffeinne and adderall withdrawals? I only took 8 adderall pills, 1 in the morning everyday 30mg xr for the 8 days. I really dont know what to do and dont know if i can make it to the appointment next saturday. Any feedback would help!!!!
Avatar f tn Sleepiness is normal when upping dose, your body needs to adjust. You can discuss with your doctor about taking the Prozac at night and Ritalin in the morning. That could solve the sleepiness issue.
Avatar m tn I'll make a long story short, basically my uncle takes all 3 of those to function,he's been on xanax since the late 90s,needs norco's for to deal with knee pain and takes adderall to focus on work,he has his own business with 2 employees dosages he takes per day 8mg of xanax 40mg of norco's 30mg of adderall I honestly don't know how his doctor will give him 90 xanax bars(2mg) and 90 norcos a month.
Avatar f tn Call your doctor Monday and ask to be seen...when you get there, tell him you want off the Adderall, it was a poor choice to begin with. I would tell you to just quit taking it all together, but you must check with your doctor first.
Avatar m tn I'd certainly suggest your friend speak with their doctor about this issue. The ARE AD's out there that do not affect sexual function. Odviously time for a change since the Paxil was given a very fair trial.
Avatar f tn hi all im on xanax prozac and adderall,my dr onn may 4th told me i could drink 2 beers a night with my meds..he is a pshychitrist,my heart dr agreed and so did several pharmmists..they said it might just make me sleepier....i notice the next day my heart rate is lower and so is my blood pressure..i drank for 8 years on xanax and depakote and alot and was fine..i enjoy the taste of beer dont want to get drunk...but i felt kinda tipsy last night for some reason...
Avatar f tn 00pm. After two weeks on this med and dose I found myself trying to take 2 at once to see if it would work since I felt absolutely nothing taking 1 10mg tablet twice during the day. I swear I do not abuse medication but whether my body can't absorb medication or I'm just defective I know that most people on the shear amount of different meds I take daily and then the dosages, it should be obvious that I'm highly medicated. But I'm not at all.
Avatar m tn recovering drug addict with 3 years clean with the help of Paxil, Suboxone and Xanax. I'll prescribed by the same Doctor Who is aware of my past addiction issues. I myself wanted to cut out the benzo's and went for a proper diagnosis and sure enough my instincts were correct. Diagnosis: OCD, ADHD, ASD. The last is a new one called autism spectrum disorder in the old DSM-IV it would've been called Asperger syndrome.
Avatar f tn I wanted to get off the medicine because I have been combining it with medical marjuana , alchohol , anti anxiety (Xanax) and shrooms; along with adderall before I was given invega and after. So I believe I am possibly causing damage and being out of balance. I can’t concentrate sometimes and weight gain along with prolactin due to enlarged breast is a concern. Some websites are saying their have been no withdrawals from invega reported. hard finding a psychiatrist for new diagnoses also.
Avatar n tn My job performance has improved about 200% since I stoped taking the medication. I am still perscribed xanax, 3 mg a day and 10 mg ambian at night, plus all my asthma medications. I know the insert said do not quit taking the adderol suddenly, well I did...I guess I am ok, a bit of stomach upset and fatigue, how long will this last? I think today is my 4 or 5 day without it.
Avatar n tn it seems that you are aware of the consequences of taking xanax... im glad you are not taking the whole amount... I keep posting this but ill tell you that no proper doctor would ever prescribe their patient more that 1mg of xanax a day and also it is a short term medication - 4 weeks max if taken every day.... some have the same packet for ages and are able to take a pill here and there but not regularly...like I did...
Avatar m tn Currently SWIY takes tums, 1 or 2 extra strength a few minutes before taking the Adderall. Daily Supplements include 250mg of Magnesium Oxide, a multivitamin, fish oil and occasionally 5HTP and Gingko Biloboa. Since its usually tough to fall asleep for SWIY after taking addie during the day SWIY goes one of two routes to fall asleep- natural: take some vitamin c, drink sleepytime tea, melatonin.
Avatar m tn I used to be on a high dose of methadone many years ago, I now am on only 60 mgs a day and many days I only take 50mgs. I am also on Wellbutrin XR, and yesterday I just started Adderall, 5mg 3XDaily I had really hoped it would help pull me out of the very deep depression I've been in for years now. My depression is so bad I'm on SS Disability for it.
Avatar m tn A month later I realized I was having a hard time focusing, and I filled the adderal rx with my old Dr. over the phone. When my RN mother asked what meds I was taking (to see how I am doing mentally after my surgery), I told her the two prescriptions I had, and she informed me that it was risky to get two meds from two different doctors. Clearly I know that getting the same med from two doctors at the same time is illegal, but is what I did illegal?!?! Neither Dr.
