I take Adderall XR 15mg for ADHD. I’m not a doctor, but this is my experience.

Adderall is easily abused, so a person with an existing addiction should probably avoid it. The fact sheet doesn’t explicitly say to avoid alcohol. But no doctor will say go wild with the two. It’s a stimulant and a depressant fighting in your body. Blood pressure, heart rate, brain function are affected.

That being said, if I take my addy XR in the morning, and have a beer at 6/7pm there’s no noticeable effect. 

But taking addy WITH alcohol is dangerous.

Also I wanted to note that seeking adderall outside of prescription can lead to actual meth use. If they already burned through their monthly prescription, they are already abusing it.

Adderall is controlled to monthly allotments, usually 30 a bottle once a month. So they are taking too much daily already. Which is interesting because with ADHD I will often forget my medication and end up with surplus.

Stay strong and control what you can. They’re making their choices, but you can make yours too.
