Adderall
by kristin, Aug 04, 2000 12:00AM
I was prescribed Adderall for ADD and Prozac for depression a few months ago. I am doing well on both. I recently started binge drinking sometimes with my husband. We have 4 or 5 beers 3 or 4 times a week. Now I feel less able to concentrate than ever. I have a lot of trouble remembering things, and feel "spacey" alot. Can Anyone please tell me exactly what the consequences of drinking alcohol and taking Adderall & Prozac. Answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

You are not supposed to mix alcohol with any anti-depressants, especially the SSRI'S. Call up a search on prozac, adderal and their warnings about the effects with other substances and you will see the answers about avoiding alcohol.
My Doctor cut me off from out-patient care when I relapsed on booze while on her prescribed medication Klonopin, another drug not supposed to be mixed with alcohol. She cut me off from the Klonopin right away and I was forced to go in-patient for alcohol detox. I tried to fight it but the seizures were too much to handle and almost killed me.
She said the mixing of the two would have eventually killed me and that was why she cut me off. I was unaware of those dangers at that time.
