Specializes in Psychiatry

Medications Risks: Sertraline may increase the effects of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)- jitteriness, anxiety. Taking together increases the risk of a serious condition - Serotonin Syndrome. Using Alcohol with Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can increase the risk of increased heart rate, chest pain, or blood pressure changes. Drinking Alcohol with these medications can cause impaired judgment. See Psychiatrist for Diagnosis, medications and Ther
