Does anyone take lexapro in addition to vyvanse (or any adhd stimulant med)? Are there any interactions? Any weird symptoms taking the two together?

I did for like a year. I noticed my anxiety wasn’t bad enough to warrant both simultaneously.

Vyvanse made not eat but lex made me grub.

And if you’re a dude your sex drive will be bad with lexapro. Did well for anxiety management though

What worked for me was drinking tons of water and a high fiber diet

Agree with A1. I gained weight because I would binge when it wore off.

Lexapro in combination with Concerta. Nothing weird, as far as I can tell. The combo has definitely helped with anxiety - without the Lexapro it was pretty bad.

Echoing what A1 said - as a guy, my libido is pretty rock bottom (was very high before the meds).

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
