Do Suboxone And Adderall Cause Sweating And Chest Discomfort?
I am currently on suboxone 8mg 2x a day. My doctor prescribed adderall 15 mg 2x daily to treat ADHD. Since starting the adderall, I am experiencing chest tightness and sweating. Is this a reaction of combining both medications or just from the adderall itself?

Hello,
While they do not have a direct interaction, amphetamine is a stimulant and is what Adderal is.
This increases the heart rate, can cause panic attacks and can increase blood pressure and might increase heart stress and might cause heart problems.
Cannot say in your particular case, but heart symptoms would be a reason to stop an amphetamine including Adderall.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
