Actually, 50 mg of Vyvanse is not that big. Because of the way it’s formulated, the dosages work differently. For example, I take 80 mg of Vyvanse, which is equivalent to 35 mg of Adderall. And some people take two 30 mg doses of Adderall a day- and that is BIG!
However, my eyeballs did pop out when I read the original post here and I was in a panic to respond, until I noticed the date. Too late now for that person, but for future reference, amphetamine and methylphenidate do not mix! I am shocked and outraged that a psychiatrist would even recommend taking both, and that he would recommend just taking the Vyvanse off and on, when you want to concentrate for longer periods. Extremely bad. I mean, that’s the kind of “ADHD behaviour” that we get told off for all the time, playing with our meds and only taking them when we feel like it.
Anyway… I dont know if alcohol actually makes ADHD worse. I never did drink that much, and hardly at all now. It is best to limit alcohol when taking meds, as any pharmacist will tell you, but it is still possible to enjoy a couple of drinks once in awhile. Like the psychiatrist who first prescribed medication for me said: “You can drink, just don’t get drunk”.
REPORT ABUSE
