Brief Answer:
drug interactions possible; reduce to minimum drugs possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

The general rule of prescribing drugs is 'minimum drugs with maximum effects'.

Vyvanse and adderall are both stimulants.

These drugs together can cause adrenergic hyperactivity in body leading to hypertension and tachycardia.

Vyvanse has longer duration of action. If its working for you, no need totake adderall.

Lexapro and klonopin are fine for anxiety and depression.

In rare cases, lexapro with stimulants can increase agitation and restlessness. Consult your doctor if you develop these symptoms.

Klonopin can cause dependence if taken for long term. If your anxiety is controlled, consider stopping klonopin slowly.

Kindly discuss these issues with your doctor.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
