So I've done extensive googling to know similar questions have been asked before, but I haven't found enough info on the combination with Adderall XR specifically (NOT regular Adderall), other than a couple forums where people have mentioned severe anxiety/panic, muscle contractions, and even temporary paralysis. I'm hoping this isn't common, since there don't seem to be problems with smoking weed with regular Adderall. I want to hear the opinion of someone who knows how both drugs affect brain and body chemistry, both long and short term.
I just started yesterday on 10mg of Adderall XR, which I need to take daily, never been prescribed it/ADHD meds before (though I've taken it back in college for all nighters). I haven't yet smoked since starting, though I last smoked the night before I started on the meds.
I generally smoke 1-2 times a day, and usually just a bowl or two at a time. I want to know both how the weed affects the Adderall's intended effects, and how the Adderall will affect my high. I take it for my ADD/ Inattentive type ADHD, though I should also mention I've been diagnosed with Persistent Depressive Disorder/ Dysthymia (wouldn't want to do anything that'll fuck with my mood or energy level during the day). I'm wondering:

I'm wondering:
- What's likely to happen if I smoke a bowl immediately or soon (say a couple hours) after taking the Adderall. And will the meds still work after the weed high wears off?
- What if I take the Adderall XR in the AM, be a responsible person through the day, and then smoke at night, around when the meds should wear off anyway. Will my high still be affected? And will the weed affect the Adderall's effects the next day(s), since weed stays in the body for some time?
- What if/Should I stay off the weed for the first couple weeks or so of adjusting to the meds? Or would that not really matter?
- Does it make a difference if it's indica or sativa? My friend just gave me a quarter of sativa heavy hybrid (Tangerine Dream) and I also have some leftover sativa I'd like to finish.
