Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

Excessive drinking and then taking Adderall has resulted in intense activation and this resulted in poor sleep. Adderall is a stimulant drug and have negative interactions with alcohol. Taking NyQuil further deteriorated the condition because this is a mild hypnotic drug only. When an individual take very high doses of alcohol then instead of relaxation intense restlessness occurs. This is the reason you are not sleeping and have heaviness in head. For this restlessness and heaviness medicines like low dose benzodiazepines can be used.

Etizolam or Oxazepam are short acting drugs and can help to beat these symptoms and will help in sleep. Wait for some time to see spontaneous remission and if symptoms persist then visit a doctor for help.

Thanks, take care.
