Hey all,

I was diagnosed with a very serious panic disorder and was thrown on Xans and KP for over 15 years now. They tried to put me on Rittle a long time ago but it gave me motor ticks. I recently was offered Adderal from a family member because I have to take care of a family member that had a stroke for 3 days without rest. I must say, it works-- but heard mixing benzos with it isn't wise.

Is this true? Because why would a doctor try to prescribe me both when I'm on a large dose of KP and Xans? The synergy seems to work, I'm just not used to the racing heartbeat. It's not dangerously high and I don't feel buzzed which is great-- I didn't want that effect anyways! All I wanted was to remain awake at all times to keep my family member safe 24/7 for a few days.

What are the risks involved while taking Adderal (60mg-90mg) and Xanax (2mg-8mg) + KP (5MG three times daily)? I was thinking about lowering the Adderal dose seeing doctors raised my benzo dose way too high...any ideas on what to expect or what I should do to stay safe in the process?

 
Adderall is getting more popular in the medical profession lately as it's pretty well known as an off label treatment for depression.  The dose you are taking (60 to 90mg per day I assume) seems pretty high.  I've heard it's easy to build a tolerance for it, but I've not had that problem.

As far as the mix with benzos, I'm in the same boat and have not had any problems.  The benzos should take the edge off the adderall.  

Hope that helps.

I have taken bennies with Addy plenty if times and all was well. If I take a very low dose of Ben - it takes the edge off. If I take a moderate dose of Ben than it seems to over power the Addy. IMO bennies are great to have on hand when taking Addie just in case the Addy causes unwanted anxiety.

I have a similar prescription albeit not quite as high of quantitiy, but I think the dangers of mixing both are greatly exaggerated. I think the medical community frowns upon this combo due to the CNS affects of both, but having comorbid anxiety/panic issues AND ADD/ADHD doesn't really leave a lot of options. If you feel mixing the two is helpful and and aren't suffering any cardiovascular or blood pressure problems you should be fine and I can say from experience the two definitely have some kind of synergy. Before I was on benzos and just on adderall  would get a racing heart and feel anxious and sweaty. The PDoc gave me propranol which helped offset the speediness and sweating, but also made me depressed and have insomnia. Klonopin has obliterated  negative side effects of adderall and the in general, the two seem to level each other out and the combo works for me. 

 
I won't re-type what @Mgillgan just put but I'm in the same situation. I wouldn't be able to take those meds w/ out the bzo's to curb those days where I get "edgy". RXPRO-

 
cough "ilbuyouraddys'" cough cough cough "seriously" cough cough :/ so hard to find!!!!!!

 
Late to the party but as much as i dont agree with the combo sometimes it is a necessary evil imo.. 

and im not a doctor .. smaller doses shouldnt harm at all

  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
