Can you mix Adderall xr with Aleve?

The short answer is yes. Adderall, as a stimulant increases blood pressure. Aleve, however, is not an ibuprofen-based painkiller. Ibuprofen is a blood thinner, which would not combine well with a drug that increases blood pressure. Because Aleve functions as an anti-inflammatory, it reduces the constriction of blood flow to a more standard state, as opposed to thinning the blood for more easier passage. The targeted areas for Aleve are those only under inflammation, but thinned blood will make its way through all parts of the body. When on any drug that increases blood pressure, a blood thinner is ill-advised. Although acetaminophen, or Tylenol, is also an anti-inflammatory, it is harmful for your liver. Many prespecription drugs already cause liver damage, though relatively mild. Aleve appears, in fact, to be the best option.

no Though there is mounting evidence it can impact clotting mechanisms - tramadol can interact with warfarin and other coumarins to increase INR and therefore increase risk, severity and problems managing bleeding - commonly referred to as thin blood.
