So was prescribed adderall last week, and went out last night for a friends birthday. Got absolutely hammered (not in particularly good way)

For people on ADHD medication, what has been your experience with drinking while taking them?

Well I’ve been on them longer than I have been able to drink, so I don’t really know the alternative.

I’ve never had anything feel off but most of the time my meds have worn off for the day by the time I’m drinking, given most ADHD meds won’t last much later than 5/6 and it’s not common for me to be more than a few beers in at that time.

At the age I was taking adderall, blood pressure wasn’t really a concern. That being said, concerta hasn’t been having a significant effect on my blood pressure now and is more effective than adderall ever was for me.

I've been on extended release Adderall for years. Never had any problem with drinking wine or liquor. And I have drank a lot on some instances. No issues.

Yes, adderall makes you “feel” less drunk. It’s a stimulant.
