In reply to Mixing Adderall Ginseng - Possible problems?, posted by Christina on June 7, 2002, at 16:26:43
I read a study on medline that Ginseng inhibits/substantially reduces the actions/effects of the amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Desoxyn). I think the reason was that they think Ginseng may act as some kind of adrenal gland modulator & significantly inhibits amphetamines ability to release norepinephrine & dopamine from the adrenal cortex.
Also despite overzealous claims from the companies trying to sell you the herb, there been a bunch of (unbiased) university/medical school studies on it, & even by itself it Ginseng has never been proven to do much of anything (positive). Basically, Ginseng seems to be a waste of money.
