Are Adderall and coffee together?

Caffeine & adderall have a synergistic effect when combined and the effects of both chemicals will be significantly emphasized. The addition of coffee with the adderall will definitely increase Adderall's effects of wakefulness, mood elevation, alertness, etc. But as great as that sounds, caffeine also potentiates the negative side effects of adderall, such as nervousness, insomnia, irritability, palpitations, rapid heart beat, dysphoria, etc. In fact, the combination of the 2 may exacerbate the negative side effects to such a point that the adderall's positive effects are diminished. Also, anyone with anxiety issues may want to stay away from the combination of the two since it will increase his or her anxiety. The 2 together can induce panic attacks in susceptible individuals. But honestly, from personal experience, a cup of coffee in the morning with adderall is OK but anymore than that and I tend to experience too many negative effects and actually LOSE focus on tasks rather than gain focus. As someone with anxiety issues, I am really careful about my caffeine intake the rest of the day (as in no more for me the rest day:) )

With all that said, if you are going to combine coffee and adderall together, start with 1/2 a cup and wait an hour and see how it makes you feel. If you are nervous and jittery and anxious, then perhaps you should not combine the 2. Just start slow and see if it works OK for you. I know people that can drink all the caffeine they want on their adderall and are just fine and then I know others that can not have any caffeine at all. Just be smart about it:)

Also studies have show that coffee effects the potency of adderall causing the body to simply flush adderall out of your system. Others studies have shown that people with add or adhd who drink coffee tend to multi task or tend to notice that symptoms of add or adhd tend to be more noticeable. Causing you to be awake but not focused.

Adderall is an amphetamine- it blocks the reuptake of dopamine (heavily implicated in the brain's 'reward' pathway) in the synaptic cleft so that the neurotransmitter's effects are prolonged- causing increased energy and hyper-elation, while caffeine inhibits endogenous adenosine receptors, which are known to be inhibitory to the nervous system. Adenosine collects as a metabolic byproduct from ATP degradation and increases with prolonged wakefulness. Since caffeine binds to an inhibitory receptor that binds to adenosine normally, it circumvents the naturally increasing amount of adenosine during the day (a part of your sleep wake cycle). Since these two very different pathways effect the nervous systems via two different methods, the combination of the drugs will have a greater range of effects. Effects are also variant on the amount of sleep one has had and the time of day the combination is ingested.

Is it OK to mix Strattera Adderall and Prozac?

I currently take 80mg straterra, 70mg vyvanse (a speed-derived drug like adderall), and 10mg lexapro (an ssri like paxil, luvox, etc) and it is working great!

before I started vyvanse, I was taking straterra with lexapro and adderall: about 40 mg of adderall daily.

taking too much adderall caused me to be very anxious, self-conscious, and almost paranoid. when I reduced adderall to about 20 mg/day, as well as when I switched over to vyvanse, things smoothed out much better.

i should add that I was smoking a decent amount of medical marijuana at for most of this period too, which probably increased the paranoia....

I have since stopped the pot, and things are very smooth.

Just my personal experience, your results may vary, but whatever you do, be very cafeful with adderall!!! I had a mild psychotic episode where I thought everyone was out to get me, I couldn't leave home, and I am a "normal" person!

be safe. these are tools, not toys.

I am on 40mg of Srattera (once a day), 30mg of Adderall and 37.5mg of Paxil. I haven't noticed any unusual side effects, but that is just my own experience. Every individual is unique in their response to certain medications.

The answer is YES!!! The person asked a yes or no question. They didn't ask for your medical history.

What dose of adderall would produce the same effects as 20 mg per day of Vyvanse?

Adderall XR comes in multiple dosage forms, and usually these are easily transcribed to IR or visa versa. However, 20 mg. of IR 3x daily does not have an equivalent XR dosage for the triple daily dose. The manufacturer offers Adderall XR 30 mg. capsules, which would mean you would take the full 60 mg dose (2 capsules) all in the morning. It would end up being equivalent to taking two 30mg dosages of IR, rather than 3x 20 mgs daily. If you feel that the 3x 20 mg. daily dosing of IR is too important, you might want to just stay on that version. You can always talk to your doc and see whats available.

Can adderall xr be taken with blood pressure meds like benecar?

Yes, BUT only if you have let the doctor know (if they didnt prescribe them both) that you are on blood pressure medicine so that they can take the slight raise in blood pressure resulting from the CNS stimulatory action of the Adderall into consideration.

I personally take 2 blood pressure medications, safely, with my healthy dosage of adderall daily. Just make sure you always take your blood pressure medication before taking adderall. Dont worry too much, if you did forget you would just have a slighty higher BP, but not to the point where you would be in serious trouble; probably a slight uncomfort till you took your BP meds.

Can you take Adderall with vicodin?

Vicodin is a combination drug of Tylenol/acetaminophen and Hydrocodone which is classified as a narcotic used for mild to moderate pain.

Always read the warning information you get from the pharmacy for signs and symptoms of allergic reactions.

How long does it take a 15 mg dose of Adderall XR to take effect?

The half life of Adderall is about 10 hours. If you took one 15 mg tablet at 12 noon, then you would have 7.5 mg in your system at 10:00 pm. It takes approximately 2 days (55 hours) for Adderall to completely leave your system.

Will Adderall show up on a hair test?

Yes, it will. It will show up in hair for roughly 7-12 years, even if you shave it all off. It'll stay in your urine for roughly 8-12 months if you only try it once, itll stay in for 16-20 month if you try it twice, and then add 2 months for each subsequent time used. I never tell a lie.

Can Adderall be taken as a booster to Vyvanse in the afternoon?

Check with your doctor but probably yes if you're an adult not a child. My psychiatrist gives me vyvanse 70 milligrams which i take in the morning at around 8 oclock and then i take a 15 milligram dose of adderall instant release at around 2-3 oclock. But I'm 21 I wouldn't recommend it for a child unless under the direct supervision of a doctor

Can you take Adderall and Paxil together?

Is it ok to mix adderall and adderall xr?

Self-medicating Valium and Adderall is probably a bad idea. However, there are many good reasons that a doctor may prescribe both medications. Bear in mind that Valium (Diazepam) can be used to treat (among other things):

  • Nausea as an anti-emetic
  • Anti-anxietal and calmative
  • Anti-seizure med.
  • Anti-toxin and antagonist for many marine or arthrodpod neurotoxins.
  • Insomnia (often a result of Adderall).
  • Used at a treatment for chemical warfare agents including sarin.

Benzodiazapine class meds created a revolution in pharmacology, especiially due to the wide spectrum of possible uses, and significantly lowered M&M stats by replacing drugs like barbituates.

In this case, I wouldn't write this combination off as a bad idea without considering the entire picture.

Alternate Anwer:This isn't a bad idea at all. What the first person who answered is thinking is that they are two opposites, and would create a sort of speedball affect, but this is not true [First answer removed in this version]. Adderall does indeed speed up your mind and thoughts, making you focus much better, however if you suffer from anxiety, Adderall can make this much worse. The best solution for anxiety is a benzo, like Valium, even though I prefer Xanax, to counter act the anxiety. Benzo's do Not slow down your thoughts as much as they simply make your more relaxed. I am currently prescribed 30mg XR once a day, 10mg IR in the afternoon, and 1mg Kpins twice a day by my doctor and they work perfectly together and I Do indeed recommend it. Alternate Answer:I am prescribed 60mgs Adderall IR daily and was just recently prescribed 10mg of Valium by the same doctor. I PERSONALLY haven't experienced any bad side affects, and agree that it does help with anxiety, although I have taken other Benzo's that have worked better for anxiety. Clarification:I noted that self-medicating was a bad idea. Note that these two medications are not contraindicative. I stand by this. Both these medications require a prescription, and adminstration should be monitored by a doctor. Alternative AnswerI take 40mg of Adderal a day and have back muscle issues which I take Valium for. its helfpful and I havn't noticed any problems. I do really suggest though, that you talk with your doctors about what you specifically need to think about concerning this combo.

How do you pass urine drug test with Adderall?

Adderall is present in urine for 2-4 days after consumption... You can cut this time down and cleanse your urine up to 3x as fast by using Vitamin C and other Acidic Nutrients. If you need to pass a drug test right away use Sure Gel, it works everytime.

Can adderall xr help in a THC drug test?

Definately not.. however if you take adderall and quit taking the adderall a week before the test (to allow the amphetamines to clear out of your system) then your ability to eliminate THC would increase due to it's stimulant effect.. Although i advise against doing this.. a lot of exercise would do just the same..

Fiber supplements help a lot too..

Is 40mg of adderall too much for a child?

Our son weighs around 95 pounds and started out on 40, then 60 mg, this did not seem to work. Dr is now saying to try 80 mg. We don't know what to do either. Dr says 80 is not too much for him. You are not alone in this, even though we feel like we are sometimes.

My son, age 10 weighed 96# when he started on stratera. He now weighs 90# (side effect) and the maximum dose he was ever on was 25 mg. (started at 10mg., went to 18mg. and stopped titrating at 25mg. due to extremely positive impact) His doc. was planning on going to 40mg. but saw no need due to positive impact on ODD symptoms. On the other hand, my friend has a daughter who weighs the same amount and is on 120mg. (80 at night, 40 in AM). Based on my experience, 60mg. is a moderate dose and 120 is the legal max.

Good luck!

I'm finding I'm learning more from "users" or parents of children that use than I do from the doctors. I agree about taking him off on weekends is a disaster. I think we're beginning to see the key to making this work. Since we've kept it continuous, we've significantly lessened the mood swings, hair pulling, etc. Also, from another posting on this website I learned that taking peanut butter before each pill eliminates the stomach aches. That's a miracle solution for us!

Our son is 12 and about 95 lbs. He has been on a 60 mg dose of Strattera about six months and is doing well. He was originally on a 40 mg dose and it had almost no effect. This medication has been far superior to the stimulants for him, and his school work has improved. He seems more "normal" on it than on the stimulants where he would have the rebound effect and act horribly at night. We took him off of the Strattera on his vacation in December and it was a big mistake. I don't think you can just use Strattera like the stimulants, stopping them on weekends and vacations. I don't think 60 mg is too high at all, and his side effects are limited to occasional heartburn.

How young are you talking about? My daughter is ADHD and has been on meds since she was 6 yrs old. She's been on Stattera since September 2003. Started her out on 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg in the evening. Now she's up to 60mg in the am & 40 at night. That's 100 mg!!! She is now 14 yrs old. Only side effect she has had is the heartburn. She takes Nexium for that.

My son has been on every kind of ADHD meds. He on strattera 60mg one time a day. he weights 79#, he 10. with him we been through everything mood swings, hitting, bitting, you name it he did it.I find that if he on a routine everyday things go much smoother, he also take risperdal 0.5mg that's a antipsychotic agent for the volent outburst. If you think that ur child is on to high of a dose than talk to ur Dr. only you know what going on with ur child on the meds. talk to your child about how they feel on the meds,I found that my son will tell me if he on to high of a dose. Only you and your child can get the dose where it should be at.

Will 30mg of adderall show up on a urine test?

It depends on the strength of the tablet, as well as the time elapsed between the time the drug was ingested and the time of the drug test. Amphetamine metabolites general will generally create a positive reading in a urinalysis up to 72 hours after the drug is ingested. If a hair follicle test is done a positive reading could be read up to 90 days post drug ingestion. There are other factors that affect the half life duration of a drug such as, gender, weight, fluid and food consumption, and other metabolic features such as renal and hepatic function. Although these factors are only applicable to the detection of the drug through urinalysis.
