Brandy expressed her worries and found a nurse to ensure Billy was in stable condition. The groom struggled to keep his composure but powered through the ceremony. Brandy shared what happened after saying she had her husband drug tested, and the Parkside Resort assisted them in the investigation. The couple explains that they know who spiked Billy and dealt with them accordingly. “Many people intentionally combine alcohol & Adderall in order to party harder and longer! So they spike others’ drinks thinking they will be hyped all night with them,” Brandy’s caption read as her husband was suffering the side effects.

Brandy hopes her video can spread some awareness.
Adderall is used to treat attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy and is only available with a doctor’s prescription. Those prescriptions cannot be refilled, and the individual must obtain one from their doctor each time. While severe side effects are not common with this drug, Brandy’s groom showed signs of dry mouth, anxiety, and a fast pounding heartbeat. Mixing alcohol with Adderall has severe consequences, but many mistakenly believe that because Adderall is a prescription drug, using it in conjunction with alcohol is not as potentially dangerous as using an illicit drug with alcohol. Brandy warns her followers not to make this mistake but also to be very careful about keeping their drink safe. Brandy’s final message in her TikTok reads “never accept an open drink unless it’s from a licensed bartender!” RELATED: Man Gets Back At Cousin Who Stole His Girlfriend By Giving Vengeful Speech At Their Wedding Kurtis Condra covers entertainment, news, and human interest topics for YourTango.
