So I don't have to research...Before I began the Nardil I was taking Adderall XR (20 mg, 30mg, then up to 40 mg.) All the while taking Clonazepam. I know kpin doesn't negate adderall's effect, but my last couple/few months on adderall went like this. No matter the dose, it just wasn't lasting long enough. Well, I sensed it was still in me (even if I hadn't, it would have been a given to me due to it's half-life)due to my heart rate still up. Yet I wasn't reluctant to sit down (or even sleep.) I was on 2+ mg of klonopin at that time, probably 5 months into that dose. Could some of, if not all, the dex be somehow...excreting from my body early? But what about the XR's second bang...IMHO it was all levo. A feeling of somnolence with a pounding heart. Never really thought of it...Other than the whole medication just wearing out. Right now I'm on the oh-so dangerous adderall nardil combo right now which has yet to hurt me...But I'm off to bed.

Kenny,
Are you saying you are currently taking 40mg Adderall + Nardil? You say above "oh-so-dangerous", so I hope that's not the case. If it is, you need to at the very least get an antidote from your Doc. I hope you have a BP cuff. If not, its a good idea to get one. Most importantly, drop the Adderall!!!
If you didn't give enough time for the Adderall to leave your system before starting Nardil, I'd say, at the very least same steps as above.
Ideally, contact your Dr. and advise him of your situation and find out what is best for now. When I had spontanious htc, I took Nifedipine evry day for 10 days. Maybe you could do that, while the Adderall leaves your system. I don't know much about meds, but I do feel you are at risk right now, and maybe with an antidote you don't have to be.
Good luck,
~Jade

No,at the present time I was. And it was funny how I ended with the need for a nap...Just like the problem was when I was rxed it (during that interval of time.)

Kenny,
Its been one day not even that. Can you please explain your first post, so I at least know what you were talking about? Levo? What are you referring to?

"Right now I'm on the oh-so dangerous adderall nardil combo right now which has yet to hurt me"
numerous posts...You mean this one, I meant I took Adderall at that time. Not prescribed both at the same time.
