Why yes! Robitussin's active ingredient, dextromethorphan, is a cough suppresant and expectorant. (It also has mild hallucinogenic qualities when taken in high doses.) Ritalin is a stimulant designed to curb the affects of ADD or ADHD. You can certainly take both at the same time. But, you might trip balls if you take too much.

Yes, this is fine, as long as you're only having the prescribed dose of vyvanse and robitussin. It'd be best to take a daytime cold medicine that is caffiene-free (DayQuil) if on ADD meds.

Well that is a very difficult question to answer, it really just depends on the medications within the cough syrup. You should be able to find a list of active ingredients on the bottle. Here is a link where you can find all the drug interactions with Ritalin. There are 400 drugs that interact with Ritalin, simply search if the ingriediants of your cough syrup interact with Ritalin.http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/methylphenidate,ritalin.html


Can you drink alcohol with Robitussin?

Drinking alcohol when taking Robitussin or any drug containing dextromethorphan or guaifenisen is likely to increase the likelihood of unpleasant side effects which include nervousness, dizziness, anxiety and restlessness. There are not the reasons people usually take drugs. Note: I could not find any confirmation on any other website that alocohol affects anything while taking Robitussin. Just as long as you aren't drinking in excess, it should be absolutely fine.

Can you mix Robitussin and Zyrtec D?

I'm afraid that, even though it's unlikely it would be serious, the pseudoephedrine in the Zyrtec D and the dextromethorphan in the Mucinex could interact with each other. However normal Zyrtec with just cetirizine would be perfectly safe.
