In reply to the discussion: Box after box of Sudafed, piled on top of one another in photo of Pres. tRump [View all]crimycarny
(1,351 posts)One of the biggest side effects of taking Adderall, even as prescribed, is severe nasal congestion. That's the reason for all the Sudafed, not any "high". If Trump is abusing Adderall as he is accused of, Sudafed is too lightweight and would not give him the high he would crave.
The fact that he has so much of the UK formulation of Sudafed is intriguing. The active ingredient in the US Sudafed formulation, pseudoephedrine, on top of Adderall would make his heart race like crazy. The UK version does not contain pseudoephedrine and the boxes in the photo have both a day time and night time formulation. I don't know enough about the UK version to know if it causes the same racing heart symptoms as the US version, but there has to be a reason he is choosing that formulation over the US.
