I only have 1mg xanax. I'm studying all day and I took 30mg of adderall at 10am. I just took another 30mg (last dose for today) bc the 1st dose was wearing off and I'm starting to feel anxiety. I'm wondering if I should take .5mg now and another .5mg in a few hours. OR should I just save it until I start to crash and take 1mg at once. I have particularly bad comedowns with adderall and I'm not sure which way will be more effective at smoothing out the ride.

I have class at 7pm and I don't really want to be daydreaming from the xanax. I have a low tolerance and .5 helped me sleep last night after 30mg adderall earlier yesterday.

One more thing, I know that smoking cigarettes decreases the BA of xanax so how long should I wait AFTER I smoke to take it? If it's more than a few hours I will just not smoke.
 
I've took adderall and xanax before, both during and after the fun. I also smoke cigs and won't stop that for anything.

I wouldn't worry so much about the smoking and xanax issue. I've heard about that and I can tell you from using xanax w/everything that I just don't see the issue here. Others might, I'm aware, but I've never thought the cig was taking away from my xanax ride.

With that being said, I think if you're having anxiety you could do 1/2 and 1/2. If it was me, I'd take the whole thing at once. I have had to take it to combat anxiety on speed, but only when I have anxiety. I'm sure that 1 mg is not going to put you in a pickle.

My suggestion is if you're anxiety isn't taking away from your adderall, just wait it out and pop the whole thing.
 
Save it for the crash. Are they XR's or IR's??

If you had more id say take .5 now but ive been in your position and did just that and was dieing for more xanax when the crash hit....just ride it out, wait for the crash and take 1mg. and you wont be in "xanax dreamland" whatever that is :?
 
dont worry about cigs....that whole arguement is so laughable to me since i take benzos regularly and it gets so blown out of porportion.

All those blackouts I recal people telling me i was chainsmoking....jesus why didnt I sober up??? =D
 
if 0.5mg works then i wouldnt increase unless necessary. One larger dose is much better IME compared to two smaller ones but if one smaller one works then stick with it.

Benzo tolerance can easily climb from 0.5 mg to several mg. keep it low if possible :)
 
Unless your anxiety is effecting your studying, or ability to take the test, save it all for the crash. Being a little hyped up and jittery while studying is fine--part of the whole taking adderall to cram thing, no reason to smooth it out since you WANT to be amped up and speedy to help study. Then once ur need for speed is over, take the xanaX to relax and smooth out the crash

With regards to taking 0.5 or 1mg for the crash, I've found a single larger dose to be more effective than multiple smaller doses
