Adderall and Xanax questions

Yeah yeah okay I know mixing drugs is the dumbest thing ever but I have ADHD and had to take my adderall and about 5 hours later had to take my Xanax for anxiety (which doesn't even effect me) and I took it on the comedown of the adderall. The does of the Xanax was .12 mg literally less then half of a .25 !!! I started to feel super trippy and loopy and off balance and almost started to see things (seeing splotches, not full on hallucinations) and I had to force myself to sleep to get that bad part to go away, something was weird I couldn't concentrate on one thing at all to save my life and I was so disoriented. I'm fine with both pills when I take them separate but together idk what happens. I've done this once before, does anyone know why I felt like that or what caused me to feel like that ?

I'm pretty sure what you were experiencing was the combination of the two being over whelming in your system , this used to happen to me just taking a higher dose of my meds when I used to be on them - it's nothing alarming but probably don't do it again it's normal - it's like mixing panadol with nurofen and then getting twitches in your body ! All in all I hope u feel better and one day can get off the meds xx

I think that maybe your were paranoid because you mixed the two. I take 10mg aderall and I take .5 of Ativan.

There has been times where even an hour after taking my aderall I've had to take my Ativan. Itnis safe especially 5 hours later.

Adderall – potent, highly stimulating, directly affecting dopaminergic transmission. Alprazolam – probably the most potent benzodiazepine, highly sedative, hypnotic, binding to GABA. Yes, what could possibly go wrong when one combines these two…? Let me tell you one thing – the fact that you suffer from ADHD does not justify your poor medications management skills. If you’re not capable of following the directions of your prescribing physician, I recommend applying for admission to an in-patient clinic. There is really no other option. Sorry for sounding harsh, but even if alternatives were suggested, how could we be sure that you wouldn't do the same mistake again...?
