A medication reference built from the interaction graph. It is not prescribing information — the label and your prescriber are.

What is uncertain

Read off the same rows as above. Nothing here is added that the entry does not itself record.

  • Caution with Phenylpiracetam: Additive stimulation.
  • Caution with Yohimbine: Additive cardiovascular strain and anxiety.
  • Caution with Caffeine: Additive stimulation and cardiovascular strain on top of prescription stimulants.
  • Caution with Rhodiola Rosea: Activating adaptogen plus a stimulant — stack low or not at all.

The evidence in words

What it is

Prescription stimulants for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

How it works

They raise dopamine and norepinephrine signaling; other stimulants add cardiovascular strain.

What it's used for

ADHD, narcolepsy.

Supplement & drug interactions

ADHD Stimulants has 4 documented interactions mapped below and in the interactions graph. Stimulant-stacking is the theme: caffeine and activating adaptogens (rhodiola) add cardiovascular load and jitter. Tyrosine (a catecholamine precursor) is sometimes used but should be cleared. Avoid combining with MAOIs.

The rule

This is a medication reference for spotting interactions, not dosing advice. Every change to a supplement stack around a prescription belongs with the person who prescribes it.
