If you only took one, you have nothing to worry about.

Alcohol is a depressant, so it slows your heart rate. Adderall is the complete opposite being a stimulant so it increases your heart rate. Mixing them both would cause an irregular heartbeat but with the amount you took, I wouldn't worry about it.

I know people who get drunk and snort amphetamines for fun anyways haha.

i actually did the same exact thing saturday night when i was partying with friends. I was drinking extremely vast quantities of all kinds of booze and i thought it would be so fun take adderral on top of everything else. None the less i woke up the next morning shaking and wondering why i was halving chest pains and I think the irregular heatbeats are because the mixture of both alcohol and the drug but at the same time a lot of it is mental and it was also paranoia and you just freaking yourself out.

Are you out of your mind? I think you life is more important then to be mixing that crap together. Grow up and learn the consiquenses of mixing alcohol with and a medication like that. Someone needs to knock some sense into you, so it may as well be me.

drugs and booze, deadly mix
Carrie


you are so right, people have died doing the same exact thing, they need to tell the parents, the heart is nothing to take lightly, think of your families, do you think they deserve to find you dead? Then to find out you mixed pills and booze???

MY ADVICE, IS GO N-O-W TO THE ER. Linndie

Anything in moderation is fine.

Do you really think a few beers or shots with a little adderall is going to kill you? Calm down, jeez.
