Can Xanax And Adderall Be Taken For ADHD, Brain Tumor And Heart Condition?
My 15 yr old is on 15mg of adderall for ADHD. His side effects are pretty rough including thinking that there is some thing wrong with him. (He is having a heart attack...he has a brain tumor...etc. ) I have read that Xanax in combo with adderall can help with these thing. Is this true?

hi,
Xanax (alprazolam ) and adderall (amphetamines) are used in treatment of ADHD.
However,it is better to start from minimum dosage for children . Hence you first need to consult a psychiatrist for dose suitability and monitoring.
There are however no recorded drug interactions between the two medications.
