Mixed messages on how bad drinking off an addy comedown is. Any Help?

[antihomie]

Ok, I tried doing a little searching before posting this and some of the more "careful" sites strongly advise against it but here I have found people suggesting it as well as stuff like benzos, which I would assume is a lot worse? Here's my deal, for the last year or so I have been taking 50-60mg instant release adderall twice a week usually around 11:00-2:00pm. Even with IR the effect lasts a long time for me and I will combat it with around 8 beers every time come ~11:00pm. I'm very aware this isn't a healthy habit but is a practice like this dangerous to maintain? If so, how dangerous?

Edit: Also, I will eat once right before I take it and then not again till I'm drinking off of it

Thanks for the help!!

Beyond the addictions issues. I don't think its terrible. cant be good for your heart but if your young.....

Yeah thats what I was thinking too, thanks for the reply. I got some heart problems in the family but who doesn't?

I too also take adderall ir twice a week at 60mg. Because of very strict parents i live with, i don't have booze in my house, but i have drank a few times coming down off addy and find that it really helps with comedown (depressed, irritated, unmotivated feelings). Even just 1 shot makes a difference when coming down, and i don't really see any problems with it, however 8 beers is quiet a bit, do you drink that twice a week with the addy comedown, or do you just drink that much daily as well?

Yeah, booze helps me a shit ton too. As for my drinking habits, Ill do this twice a week or so and go out around twice a week and I usually drink just a little bit more than with addy but if I'm not going out I withhold from drinking more often than not but if I do drink its almost always less than 8. If you're looking for reference point, I usually drink around 4 times a week and if its socially I usually average around 10 drinks. Thanks for the reply by the way

On a side note, are your parents aware your taking 3 times the max prescribed dose? Doses like that are way worse than alcohol in moderation.

I'm going to say it is around a 4.3

But in all seriousness, I'd try something more benign like high doses of nicotinamide instead.
