sure you can, but should you? no. does that mean i wouldnt? no. actually i did, it was a very unpleasant and jarring experience. id taken 60mg of adderall that day, along with 2 blue phentermine capsules my mom had been hoarding. i ended up feeling like id drunk a hundred thousand cups of coffee, and then hit my head just enough to get a headache so that my head pounded everytime my heart beat which was extremely fast and often due to the combined stimulants. alone, adderall can be fun and phentermine is more just being really really awake. and of course, on both, not hungry. but dont mix, it isnt fun at all.

Adderall causes the brain to release Dopamine and Norepinephrine.
Both cause some pleasure, but the dopamine release is what gives adderall its higher abuse profile.
The phentermine is an amphetamine but ALSO of the phenthylamine class. *hence the name*.
The main difference? Phentermine releases mainly norepinephrine and epinephrine. These will strongly suppress the appetite, and obviously give energy. What is missing? The dopamine and serotonin release that adderall has from a therapeutic level dose.
That is the main difference. Adderall doesn't have the same level of appetite suppression as phentermine, however phentermine doesn't have the same euphoria or ADD/ADHD treatment success that adderall does.
Now, in HIGH (non therapeutic) doses phentermine begins to release dopamine and adderall. So it can be abused, and is by some.
Lastly, there are some individuals who are prescribed both medications. In these individuals they are (or should be) monitored on a regular basis to ensure the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system aren't causing an cardiovascular, mental, or other general health problems.
