Hello. I am a lot depressed and I have been prescribed Adderall for it. But the thing is, I drink a lot too. I should quit, I know. I know that any drug taken with alcohol is bad for you, but I don't know what are the side effects of taking Adderall with alcohol? Could it prove fatal? Some similar experience?

I have a father who was taking Adderall and booze at the same time, but I explained him same story I will explain to you. I looked into it. Yes, it is very dangerous! As a matter of fact it even turns positive on an urine drug test. Adderall contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are stimulants, so that is the reason of it causing addiction. The side effects of taking both can differ from slight dizziness to passing out to dying from overdose. So if you are smart you will not do it from now on.

I did this and not only did I almost kill myself but it really ruined my life and almost destroyed quality of living. I know that this a vague description but please do take me seriously. If you've never been to AA- go and check it out. It works- it really does. a little over 3 months later, I absolutely love my life today

i took 30mg adderall xr and had ONE drink and i ended up in the hospital because i couldnt stop throwing up. however ive heard of people mixing it with alcohol and being fine but its not worth risking it. I had the wost experience of my life.
