I have both epilepsy and a type of autism called Asperger's Syndrome. For the epilepsy I take the 500mg depakote. I also take the 1mg risperdal pill for controlling my attitude and help prevent anxiety. Taking both together gives me no problems with them interacting together. Another medication I'm on for anxiety is the 20mg pill Lexapro and it has no interactions with the other 2. To be sure that your medications are safe together though, make sure that all your doctors know what drugs you are on, and ask them about possible side effects.

Yes but with a lowered dose of Paxil. Each day I take 60mg of Ritalin and 5mgs of paxil and I am fine but that being said you really have to be monitored and under the care of a good doctor or psychiatrist. When taking any psychiatric medication you have to be monitored.

absolutely. of course, ask your doctor first, but there are no well recognized contraindications in taking lexapro and Ritalin (methylphenidate) together.
