Common Questions and Answers about Is it safe to take adderall with xanax
adderall
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?
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.
m going if I continue or if I have already done damage that has not yet been realized. As of now quitting adderall is not an option b/c it is needed for me to continue my work at a level that allows me to succeed. I know if I quit my production (mental capacity to do work) will drop and I can't afford that right now with a wife and child to support.
I just hope I'm not caught in a catch 22 where I'm trading off health for production b/c that seems to be the usual case.
Understanding a medication's half life is kind of difficult. It's not nearly as important to worry about when exactly your system is "free" of Zoloft as it is to focus on trying to get on with daily life. Staying busy and distracted will keep you from over focusing on the Zoloft. Another reason it is not important to worry about when the Zoloft is out of your system is because it's not like at that moment, you'll feel 100% back to your pre-Zoloft self.
is it safe to take xanax and adderral periodically throughout the day with the dosage amount that I have been taking? What is the maximum safe dosage of adderral to take? Is it dangerous to take adderral and xanax togeather? I would really appreciate credible feedback and even links to web sights that may further answer my questions.
Ps. Please don't respond, "ask your doctor" I do not have a prescription for the adderral. Thanks again!
If you are suffering from anxiety and need to control it with Xanax, you certainly do not want to use any form of speed, which is what most ADD medications are. You would wind up in a straitjacket.
You are very wise to use Xanax only on an as-needed basis. It is extremely addicting. And here is something you might try. When I was suffering the effects of adrenal fatigue, I was told to use Xanax on an as-needed basis, which I did, and it helped enormously. I was given .
The trick is that some people are addicted to a 2 doses or even 3 doses of Xanax a day so this is why you must talk with you doctor first and plan a withdrawal from the daily dose to get you to the point of using it as a come down only before you go to bed. That is if you really want to stick with Adrenall. You can also try Modafinil which is not an amphetamine but it haves almost no side effects and researches are trying to proves it can help with depression.
Xanax is pretty much the same thing as Ativan or Klonopin. Xanax is supposed to make you feel better while on it since it will reduce your anxiety and there an euphoric effect out of this drug other than being an hypnotic, sedating, anti-convulsive and a muslce relaxant as its an anxiolitic. The downsides are tolerance and addiction.
If your condition is not evolving with Prozac it might sounds like you will need another antidepressant and you should get off Adderall.
Just to be safe I would tell your doctor you have now. He needs to know all the meds you're on for your own safety. But to answer your question "is it illegal" I don't know? But since you can buy adderal on the streets I'd think you could get in trouble because they will think you're hiding it from them by doing this.
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.
My blood pressure 2 days ago was 144/90. I dont know if it was because i was nervous or if it's because of the adderall. It later went down to 137/81. It seems like my heart is always beating fast though. Could the adderall be making me have high blood pressure?
Maybe the drop in BP is related to the switch from Adderall to Ritalin. Adderall is known to increases blood pressure by a lot so stopping it will of course drop your BP.
I would continue to monitor your BP and see. If the blood pressure keeps getting lower then I would report back to your doctor but I'm pretty sure it is due to no more Adderall and new Ritalin.
I took the 156 mg most of the time then the 234 for a few months back to 156 down to 117 mg. 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.
I know that doctors are reluctant to prescribe it because it is highly addictive, but it just seems like it is so easy for everyone else to get it, and most don't even need it. I am someone who could greatly benefit from xanax......it's not like i haven't tried eveything else! Does anyone have any advice on how i could get this?
