Adderall Abuse includes mixing alcohol with the drug According to 2008 study from Dalhouise University in Canada, when drinking on Adderall people think they are not as drunk but the alcohol still has the same affect on their body and can lead to alcohol poisoning without the person even realizing that they are wasted. Most cases of mixing medication with alcohol, around 80 percent, is when people take Adderall after they start drinking. Another study from 2006 by the Center for Substance Abuse Research (CESAR) found that on college campuses, Adderall is typically snorted and used in combination with alcohol, yet it was least harmful when used alone to study.
Risk for Addiction The longer you take Adderall, the longer it takes to rid your system. Physiologically, it usually takes 2 weeks to a month for the brain to recover from a chemical dependency, but the mental battle can last for much longer. Side effects to Quitting include: * Mild-to-Severe Depression *Feelings of Worthlessness *Feeling Lethargic *Wanting to Sleep all of the time *An increased appetite *A lack of self-discipline *Sudden hatred for your day job
