  • I’m on Vyvanse and Lexapro and both are working pretty well for me. I’m sure your doctor is already aware of this, but you might need to drop your stimulant dose a bit when starting SSRIs since they can definitely interact.

    I wouldn’t recommend switching to just taking SSRIs in the winter. They didn’t do anything for my ADHD before I started simulants. I’ve also had supply interruptions of my Vyvanse before and went back to just Lexapro and I almost got canned due to productivity issues.

    Another thing that could just be a me thing, if I end up missing a dose (of both because I take them at the same time), I will feel like garbage. I didn’t have this problem when I was only taking SSRIs by themselves. Just something to watch out for.

    Of course, your mileage may vary; I’m not a doctor, and all that.
