Question 1

i am taking 50mg vyvanse for anxiety/adult adhd. 5 mg abilify (aripiprazole) was added to control panic attacks. how do they work together /possible side effects?

Accepted Answer

Can Be OK Together: There are no real concerns about using these two medicines together. However, Abilify (aripiprazole) can sometimes cause drowsiness, which could affect your focus/concentration. Also, keep in mind that Vyvanse can sometimes cause increased anxiety. If you are needing additional treatment for anxiety/panic, you would want to talk with your provider about whether Vyvanse is adding to the anxiety.

Question 2

will vyvanse's mood destabilizing effects (bipolar i disorder) be reduced over time at a constant dosage (30mg)? taking 30mg abilify (aripiprazole) to compensate.

Accepted Answer

Monitor Carefully: Stimulants like Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can be very helpful in patients with mood disorders and ADHD, but they can also be highly variable in their effect--in other words, time will tell for you, and you alone, how effective this will be. If possible try and include as many people as you can in your "circle of trust" to help monitor your progress.

Question 3

my son has adhd,odd and manic depressed. dr.just put him on 5mg abilify and 20mg vyvanse. is this going to make him sluggish? he has run away from home a few times. does this usually help with behavior issues?

Accepted Answer

Treatment:  This is such a complex issue.  Just so that you adjust your expectation it may take many months and sometime if may take several years to find just the right medications and dosages combined with psychotherapy to get treatment optimized with Bipolar Disorder.  This will usually be done in a stepwise progression led by symptom improvement &amp; side effects.

Question 4

can abilify (aripiprazole) 15mg and 60mg of vyvanse case meanness and irritability in a 13 year old. who is depressed and has adhd ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Those symptoms sound like the very ones Abilify (aripiprazole) and Vyvanse are supposed to treat. Either the meds are not dosed right or another diagnosis is also in play. See your psychiatrist to go over symptoms and meds.

Question 5

vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) and strattera together do they work?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Each medicine must be adjusted to optimal dose (the highest tolerated dose that is reasonable & effective). If one med helps but does not resolve symptoms then adding another may achieve better response. Sometimes a med helps but causes side effects at higher dose & adding a second med may achieve desired response with less adverse effect at lower doses of each medicine.

Question 6

can i take vyvanse 40mg and lexapro (escitalopram) 10mg together?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Many patients who need add medications like vyvanse also need an ssri like Lexapro (escitalopram) or zoloft. If they are prescribed then there is not a problem. If they are not prescribed for you then the answer is no. Do not take someone else's medication or try combinations on your own.

Question 7

if i mix abilify (aripiprazole) and alcohol together, what will happen?

Accepted Answer

Nothing good.: The combination of alcohol and Abilify (aripiprazole) will increase your chances of side effects from abilify (aripiprazole). The severity of the side effects is also increased. Need to relax? Try a massage. It's healthier than alcohol and you can drive after engaging in it!

Question 8

what will happen if take lorazepam, aripiprazole and escitalopram together at same time?

Accepted Answer

May be nothing: It is possible for you that nothing happened. But is better for you take medications not in the same time m

Question 9

have read that wellbutrin (bupropion) and vyvanse cancel each others effectiveness out when prescribed together, any truth to this? higher vyvanse dose needed

Accepted Answer

Several risks: Several risky interactions exist in your mixture of medications. I doubt that increasing dosage of any is a good idea - especially w/o an expert evaluation of your conditions and needs. See a specialist ASAP. Don't play guessing games. Take care of yourself. Best wishes.

Question 10

can i take zoloft (50 mg) and vyvanse (40mg) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are no drug drug interactions between Zoloft and vyvanse and can be taken together
