i would not advise taking any concerta while taking lexapro. I am currently taking lexapro and have taken concerta about 7 times. Each time i took concerta i would hear many scary voices in my head. i looked up the psycotic effects of concerta and they said that a side effect of concerta is hearing voices if you are on an antidepressant

Is it safe to take 20 mg. of adderall and 10 mg. of lexapro?
I had the same question, I also took an ADD medication with Lexapro. I was prescribed them at the same time. I did my research and found that you should NOT start taking them at the same time. Start one and start taking the other about 2 weeks after or they will interact. But other than that, you can certianly take them at the same time. Depression and ADD seem to go hand in hand a lot.

The shelf life of Concerta is 3 years. Any time after that, it will start to decay and the chemicals will break down. Since it is an FDA approved drug, the break down should be non-toxic to the environment. Take expired Concerta at your own risk.
