Risks of taking antidepressants alongside lisdexamfetamine/dexamfetamine?
I’ve been taking either lisdexamfetamine or dexamfetamine for probably around three years now to tackle both my Narcolepsy and ADHD, it certainly helps with my daytime sleepiness and provides at least some marginal level of assistance with my executive functions on the ADHD side of things.
However my cataplexy is still untreated. This is because when I heard that they would want me to take antidepressants I was very much put off by the idea.
It’s taken me a long time but I have been coming around to the idea as time goes on.
Until I stumbled upon an article called something like "Medications that should never be combined with Vyvanse" and one of the drugs it listed was literally just "Antidepressants" as in like all of them, full stop.
It said that it can cause something called Serotonin Syndrome, which has just completely put me off the idea again. I was just wondering if anyone who knew more about this in a practical sense could shed some light on it at all?
