A recreational drug combination used by suburban housewives. Instead of the traditional cocaine-heroin mix, this speedball is usually vicadin, valium or oxycodone with a latte chaser.
After a hard day of shopping at the mall, Diana settled down with Oprah and a Starbucks-Valium suburban speedball.

A recreational drug combination that consists of 2 different kinds of pharmaceutical drugs that are often interchanged with eachother. Drug users will often use this combo as the "downer" can counter some of the negative effects they may experience from the "upper" for a more pleasant high.
1 or more pharma grade "downer" such as...
• Benzodiazepines - Xanax, Klonopin, Valium
• Opioids / Opiates - Hydromorphone, Codeine, Morphine, Percocet
• Hypnotics - Ambien, Zopiclone, Lunesta (uncommon)
Mixed with 1 or more other pharma grade "upper" (with some exceptions)
• Amphetamines - Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrine
• Misc Stimulants - Methylphenidate, Large dose Caffeine, Cocaine
The name Suburban Speedball comes from the combo being popular for middle class & affluent drug users. Possibly due to pills being easy for wealthy people to obtain or a sense that the combo is more safe because it doesn't involve "hard" drugs like Heroin, Crack or Meth.
Ironically, Suburban Speedballs may be more dangerous than a traditional Speedball. Mixing pills, especially more than 2 can have a list of potential side effects & even side effects that have never been seen or known how to be effectivley treated when lots of different drugs are combined.
It's highly advised to avoid this combo, there can be fatal consequences easily if your not extremely knowledgeable about pharmacology & dosing. Users should always practice harm reduction if this is ever attempted.

A strong high/low combination of a 2 serving or more energy drink (Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster, etc.) and prescription painkiller or other strong downer (most commonly Vicodin or comparable). Produces a very strong "Trip" or "High" that can last several hours until an equally strong crash or "Low" as the caffiene

A drug combination used mostly by white, middle-class high school kids who don't know where to find cocaine and heroin, but who have a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions. A suburban speedball is made from combining adderall or ritalin with any of the opioid painkillers, such as vicodin, percoset, codiene, etc.
"Bro, I'm bored, wanna meet up and do some suburban speedballs then ride bikes to the park? My mom just picked up my ADHD meds today and my dad still has some perc 20s from his back surgery. I'm sure he won't miss them, lol!"
"Hellz yeah mane! Party, party, party!"
