Talk to your doctor : This combination can cause drowsiness. Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder and Ativan is used to treat Anxiety. I don't recommend taking these medications at the same time. Some people have both of these conditions and there are alternative treatments for each. Sometimes Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can trigger anxiety symptoms. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for your case.

Yes: Some common side effects of Ativan and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can make you feel that way. 16% of those on Ativan felt sleepiness and 7% experienced dizziness. Also, up to 27% of patients on Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) experienced restlessness. So the truth is that it might make you feel sleepy, restless, or neither. You will not know until you try the combination and see how you specifically respond to it.
