Vyvanse and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include seizure among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vyvanse and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 841 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
