Adderall, Xanax

CAN YOU TAKE BOTH OF THESE MEDS? WHAT ARE REACTIONS IF ANY?

REPORT

I'm not sure why you are on one medication (Xanax) that depresses your system, and another (Adderall) that is a stimulant. Perhaps the Adderall is to help you with ADHD? That is typically the only reason one takes Adderall...if they have a focusing deficit and need the mediciine to concentrate. Some people who have ADD are very wired and excitable so doctors put them on things like Clonodine, (but usually not Xanax), to help calm them down. Xanax can cause marked drosiness, blurred vision, lethargy. Adderall can cause heart palpitations, over excitement, diarrhea.

Have they both been prescribed for you?

They are sometimes prescribed together, if a person has a condition that requires Adderall, such as ADHD, or shift-work sleep disorder, but also needs something to treat anxiety, or insomnia that may require Xanax.

However, as was already stated, there are some concerns regarding taking them together, since they each cause the opposite of the other, and some people's body's may not handle that well, and they may experience more problematic side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, irritability, and mood changes.

They both also carry the risk of being habit forming, according to FDA reports.
