SWIM is prescribed adderall and vyvanse but have alot of issues sleeping so they tried 1 mg xanax, which seemed to totally do the trick but took alot longer to kick in than they've heard from other people (about an hour-hour and a half). SWIM has access to xanax and klonopin, and has taken 1-2mg xanax a couple times throughout the past through weeks in order to fall asleep and before falling asleep SWIM feels very relaxed but also alert. The best part for SWIM is that it reduces the anxiety/other negative side affects of adderall for about an hour then allows you to sleep whenever you want to lay down and close your eyes. Tonight SWIM took klonopin for the first time about an hour ago and isn't feeling anything yet expect maybe a little relaxation (dosage today: 60 mg vyvanse at 10am, 10 mg IR adderall booster at 3pm, 10 mg IR adderall booster at about 6:30). Note: this isn't SWIM's normal dosage (doctor mandated dosage that is), usually it's 60 mg vyvanse at around 9:30 and 20 mg adderall booster at around 3pm or whenever needed during the afternoon but SWIM needed to study until late tonight so changed the dosage around a bit. SWIM is still not feeling anything from the Klonopin, but is hoping it will help with the amphetamine induced anxiety and hopefully the insomnia. As for drinking with adderall, SWIM has had terrible experiences with getting way too drunk very quickly (SWIM's experience has been taking a few shots then feeling nothing, so sometimes SWIM will have another drink or 2 then it all hits suddenly and usually results in a blackout and a TERRIBLE hangover). It's very strange how one can drink what is a normal amount for you and feel nothing while on adderall, then have it all hit you like a brick wall one or two drinks later. All in all, I would recommend xanax + adderall over alcohol + adderall any day.
