If you are taking Adderall because you have ADHD or narcolepsy, the first thing you need to realize that, neither the government nor doctors will tell you, is that you are smoking to combat the symptoms of your ADHD and/or narcolepsy. Nicotine is a potent stimulant that has the same effects as amphetamines on the brain. Indeed, there are a couple of scientific studies that have even recommended that a safe form of nicotine be explored for the treatment of ADHD. The effect of taking nicotine with Adderall is to potentiate (make more powerful) the Adderall.
The nicotine patch is possibly not safe for long-term use, but it is safe and approved for short-term use. The nicotine patch has far less risks than smoking, but it is not entirely risk free. The nicotine patch is a known carcinogen, and its probability of causing cancer might be greater than was first though. Nicotine also puts stress on the heart and raises blood pressure. Nicotine can do a lot of damage, even if it is not in the form of a cigarette.
Yes, it is safe to use the nicotine patch and Lexapro at the same time. There are no drug-drug interactions between the two medications and there are no disease states that call for the use of nicotine patch or Lexapro that would interfere in either of the medications efficacy.
It's not a very safe idea to take Adderall while trying to conceive.
Only your physician or pharmacist can answer that question.
You really shouldn't be on a prescription for Adderall and Xanax at the same time. It's possible that Adderall could potentiate the effects of the xanax. That means that if you mix them, you normal dose of Xanax could knock you out. It also depends on if you are taking Adderall because you have been diagnosed with ADD. The effects of Adderall are different for people who do not have ADD.
It is not safe to take NyQuil while also taking Adderall, Klonopin, Lexapro, and Percocet, as it can cause seizures and other serious side effects.
No you cant. Even if your on a low dosage (7mg ) you will overdose if you smoke when the patch is on. The patch is a nicotine replacement which is released through a 24 hour period without you having to inhale all the toxic chemicals in the cigarette, if your still craving with the patch on then you should consider a higher dosage. The nicotine gum can also be used but no more that 15 a day.
Absolutely, smoking can cause high blood pressure, and the patch is the same chemical that is in a cigarette - nicotine. Of course, there are other reasons that you can have high blood pressure, and you cannot diagnose youself based on that alone. In addition, whether it is caused by the patch or not, drastic increases in blood pressure can be deadly. See your doctor and tell him/her all that is going on, including wearing the patch. Your doctor will be able to evaluate the situation.
Answer: If you are taking Lorivan for severe anxiety, I wouldn't recommend taking it with Adderall. The way I see it is this: If Adderall makes you focus more than you'd be more inclined to feeling anxious, since you would be concentrating more. It also has the tendency to increase your heartrate. However if your doctor has prescribed you both of these and you have discussed with him/her the risks and benefits already then it is safe to assume it is alright to take both.
Both are stimulants and both are amphetamines. Adding Adderall (basically speed) to ecstasy is not safe and is definitely not recommended. This could potentially lead to death, especially if the dosage of either one or both of the drugs is high.
It is always best to seek medical advice before taking a mixture of different medicines. Consult your local pharmacist, doctor or check with a medical advice line.
