Why do they mix these two medications?

These are not mixed.

I believe you're referring to amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are the ingredients in Adderall and its generics. They are combined, because it has been found that the combinations works better for some people than just one or the other.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
