I take l-theanine (200mg) with vyvanse (60mg). i just started lexapro (5mg, going up to 10mg next week) yesterday. is the l-theanine okay with ssri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but..: Lexapro interacts with Vyvanse to possibly increase Vyvanse side effects, eg. jitteriness, anxiety, racing thoughts. Prescribing doc should monitor dose changes closely. If you experience any of these symptoms or similar, notify your doc to review and reassess for med drug interactions. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
