I was wondering if there was an interaction with vicodin and adderall?
I currently take 25mg of adderall twice a day and i just broke my leg and was given norco which is 10mg of hydrocodone and 325mg of tylenol.

I took my last dose of adderall at around 5:00 pm yesterday and today it is around two and i am afraid of taking the pain meds with the adderall. The perscription says to take 1-2 pain pills every 4-6 hours but i am scared there will be an interaction with these two meds.

I didnt take any adderall this morning so i havent had any for about 16 hours. Is this enough time for the adderall to be out of my system so i can take the pain meds.

P.S. I tried calling my doc but he is out of town, as usual, and i dont really feel like calling the hospital and bother them with this question.

I got a scrip for Vicodin a few weeks ago (I have kidney stones). I informed the doc I was on Adderall, but he didn't say I couldn't take them both. However, when my kidney stones start moving - there's no use in me focusing on anything (because I was in so much pain) - so I didn't take Adderall.

The best idea is to call your pharmacist. They can tell you for sure.

Feel better :)

did the pharmacist who dispensed the pain medication also know that you are on Adderall?

when i wrenched my lower back a few weeks ago i took both codeine, and tylenol with muscle relaxant as well as the dexedrine. i didn't notice any weird stuff happening.

I didnt get it from a regular pharmacy. I just got a couple from the E.R. I dont go see a ortho until Thursday. I guess that 20-24 hours between adderall xr and the vicodin is enough time. Ill give it a try cause it hurts like crazy

You should be OK - I don't beleive that they interact - but I'm not a medical pro of any kind. Call the pharmacist where you get your Adderall - they will be able to tell you with 100% certainty. Sorry to hear about your leg.

Opiates and amphetamines don't interact in any life-threatening way, from what I know (not being a doc--didn't Gregster say call the doc or pharmacist? OK, then). But, they may create a euphoric feeling beyond what you'd expect from either mediacation alone. In addition, the amphetamines may blunt the dopey, depressent effect of the opiate but should not effect its pain-killing properties.

Also, 24 hours is plenty time to wash most of the amphetamine from your system.

Sorry about the leg. Hope you were having fun when you broke it!

I make sure my doctor is aware of all other meds I am on when I get prescribed a new med. But for interaction and timing advice I speak to the man in charge of meds-my Pharmacist. He'd know more about meds and their interactions then your GP.

Good luck I hope you get to feeling better soon

It doesn't interact, cause if it did, I would of been the first to know.

I've taken Hydrocodeine (Lortab/Vicoden same dosage schedual as you) with 20 mg of adderall and it's not going to hurt you. However, I found that the Adderall was barely noticable under the strong depressant effects of the hydrocodeine.

I was the oppisite, the aderall 30mg 2x + 20mg early evening worked fine but I had to take 40mg Morphine to controll my pain. but then again I've had 3 back surgeries in the past 23 years and have built quite a tollerance to classII narcotics.
