Pseudoephedrine and Phenylephrine (Sudafed)
Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant medication used to treat the symptoms of the common cold, sinusitis and nasal congestion. While pseudoephedrine appears in small doses in many popular, over-the-counter decongestants, the product is heavily regulated. Pseudoephedrine's chemical structure is very similar to that of amphetamine, making it a key component in some illegal drugs. Due to the tight regulations, Phenylephrine is often sold as an over the counter substitute.

Can you take Sudafed with Adderall 25mg?
This is a question that you should ask your pharmacist or physician.
The pharmacist says it depends - if you are legally prescribed Adderall and have a cold or runny nose, go ahead - just follow the directions and do not take more of either drug than it says to.
If you are trying to get high, you have no idea what effect taking drugs will have - people who are legally prescribed drugs have been examined by a doctor, who takes their medical history to be sure it's safe for them to take - and even then, you get side effects, sometimes very serious ones! Taking drugs illegally is just dumb.
