Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Do not drink alcohol: Please do not drink alcohol if on any psychotropic medication such as vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). The results are unpredictable, and i'm assuming you're on vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) to improve your focus and concentration. Alcohol will dull all that.
