Correct Answer: NO - You Should NOT Drink Alcohol while Taking Vyvanse
Alternative Answer: If you are taking Vyvanse and choose to drink - you need to be very careful. Even if you have never had a history of substance abuse - - you could potentially open a door to abuse that you wish you never opened. Some people will tell you that Vyvanse will make you feel like you don't need to drink very much - - however, everyone is different. After a few drinks, you may feel like you need a boost, and you may be tempted to take another pill - - DO NOT DO THIS!!! Taking multiple Vyvanse Pills has been a terrible experience and has nearly ruined my life. The more pills that you take, the more you can drink without crashing. During this time - you become completely detached from the real world, and it's possible that you could become violent, and lash out at your loved ones for no reason.
Seriously - - do not drink while taking Vyvanse....
Yes; Vyvanse is a psychostimulant and alcohol is a depressant. This combination reduces the effectiveness of both drugs; i.e. making you less alert (reducing the effectiveness of Vyvanse). It is not recommended for this reason.
Alcohol and Vyvanse do NOT, I repeat, do NOT combine well.
You will feel like you just got mugged by bikers for HOURS if you do.
Wait at least 24 hours. 48 to be safe. You do not want to feel what it feels like to be on both. Trust me.
Mixing Adderall and vyvanse is is already pushing it. Both are very powerful CNS stimulants and depending on the dosage can cause some serious problems. Drinking alcohol while on either one of these drugs is an entirely different issue. First off, it is a depressant while the other is a stimulant therefore it would be very rough on your heart. Also when taking a CNS stimulant with alcohol, you need to be careful as to how it will effect you. It can either double the effect of alcohol (causing two shots to get you drunk instead of 6) or it may cause you not to feel the alcohol which would be dangerous since you may not feel drunk but your body is (if that makes sense). Meaning that even though you don't feel like you had alot to drink, you can get alcohol poisoning without realizing it until its to late. Or you can be the rare case and no have any noticeable differences when mixing it all together. All in all, it is a bad idea and not recommended at all and if done multiple times, may increase your chances of serious and even fatal side effects.
You CAN mix them, although its not super safe. The main thing to be concerned about is the alprazolam and alcohol... both of those potentiate eachother so if you take even a low to moderate amount of both, it will be similar to taking very high dosages of either. The vyvanse will limit this effect slightly
I take 40mg of Vyvanse. When I drink alcohol it is very difficult for me to become "intoxicated".(No im not any kind of regular drinker either) I might feel a little "buzzed" but it is short lived. There has been a couple of times over about a 2yr span where Ive gotten to what I would consider a "normal" intoxicated state,but Ive never got "super drunk". I dont know what made those 2 times different. But for the most part this medication seems to dramatically limit any affects of alcohol on me. But I have read where other people have had different reactions. Everyone is different. So just be careful.
It is not advisable to drink alcohol while on fluoxetine (Prozac) or any other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Some patients have found they can tolerate small amounts of Alcoholic Beverages, though, so check with the prescribing physician if you plan to imbibe. Some patients who do drink alcohol while using SSRIs report severe headaches after doing so.
Adderall and Vyvanse are psychostimulant prescription drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity, Adderall is more commonly used than Vyvanse.
That is the exact dosage of adderall and vyvanse that I take per my doc and it is working well for me
Vyvanse
It would more than likely not work, since Vyvanse is closely related to Adderall. I am being treated by a Psychiatrist for Narcolepsy. I am prescribed 50mg of Vyvanse per day. While Vyvanse is still an amphetamine salt it is a completely different drug than Adderall.
Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, while Adderall is dextroamphetamine, aka (a-methylphenethylamine). Vyvanse is a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine, meaning it is only active after you eat it, so there is little to no abuse potential. Basically, Vyvanse is dextroamphetamine bonded with lysine (an essential amino acid). The euphoria experienced with 50mg Vyvanse orally, is comparable to 25mg Adderall orally. However Adderall is active through insufflation (snorting) so I would assume the euphoria would be better on Adderall.
I'm no doctor but it sounds like a bad idea to me.
Yes, you should be able to do this safely. The two medications are very similar (Vyvanse is bonded to an amino acid and Adderall XR isn't) they contain essentially the same medication.
No, Ritalin is a stimulant such as Adderall, Vyvanse.. etc.
sure why not its the same stuff just dont OD
Yes, mixing Adderall and Vyvanse can be extremely harmful to the body. Both medications are CNS stimulants, and have very serious side effects on their own. The combination can be dangerous. Do not attempt this unless your physician informed you to do so. Even if you had a prior prescription to Adderall and later have Vyvanse added, the physician should know about your prior prescription and inform you of how to switch over. It is always recommended you inform your physician if you take Adderall before being prescribed anything from them (unless of course they are your primary physician or caregiver, in which case they will already know)
yes, adderall rx and vyvanse have mainly the same components, so the drug test should not be able to show a difference between the two substances.
Yes. My doctor has prescribed me vyvanse (newer version of ADHD drug, similar to Adderol, but last 12 hours and better on your heart), as well as .5mg xanax, 3 a day. So since my phychiatrist prescibes this to me and I am monitored monthly, I would believe this is a safe combination. I am to take my vyvanse and one .5 xanax in morning. and 2 .5 xanax before bed.
