Mixing Amphetamines (Adderall) and Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
Caution
Two prescription stimulants: the focus doesn't add up, but heart strain, anxiety and lost sleep do.
Treat the second as a redose, not a new drug.
What “Caution” means
Carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone.
How the ratings workThe longer explanation
Two prescription stimulants stacked, usually someone else's Adderall on top of a Ritalin prescription (or the reverse) to study longer. The focus does not add up, but heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety and lost sleep do. Treat the second as a redose, not a new drug.
