What to Avoid With Adderall 5 mg Medicine

Amphetamines like Adderall can be taken with or without food because food does not change their effect of them. However, they have several potential drug interactions.

• Adderall may interact with drugs such as antidepressants or other stimulants
• Benzodiazepines, sleep medications, and other medications that cause drowsiness (e.g, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, Versed, and others) are not recommended to be used along with Adderall.
• Amphetamines should be avoided within 14 days of discontinuing monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Combining these two drug classes may cause serious serotonin syndrome or a hypertensive crisis.
• CYP2D6 inhibitors, such as some antidepressants may delay the rate of elimination of Adderall through the liver. Hence increasing the amount of Adderall drugs in an individual’s system leads to an overdose. Therefore, these CYP2D6 inhibitor medications must be strictly avoided.
• Taking Adderall along with alcohol may increase the risk of heart issues. In presence of alcohol in the system can also make Adderall less effective.
• Similar to Adderall, caffeine is also a central nervous stimulant. Taking both combinations can amplify the potential side effects. Thus caffeine should be avoided during Adderall medication.
• Ascorbic acid or vitamin C present in citrus fruits and juices are gastrointestinal acidifying agents. These agents tend to lower the absorption of amphetamines into the system, making Adderall 5 mg tablets less effective.
