Is it OK to mix Strattera Adderall and Prozac?

Answer 1

I currently take 80mg straterra, 70mg vyvanse (a speed-derived drug like Adderall), and 10mg lexapro (an ssri like paxil, luvox, etc) and it is working great!

before I started vyvanse, I was taking straterra with lexapro and adderall: about 40 mg of adderall daily.

taking too much adderall caused me to be very anxious, self-conscious, and almost paranoid. when I reduced adderall to about 20 mg/day, as well as when I switched over to vyvanse, things smoothed out much better.

i should add that I was smoking a decent amount of medical marijuana at for most of this period too, which probably increased the paranoia....

I have since stopped the pot, and things are very smooth.

Just my personal experience, your results may vary, but whatever you do, be very cafeful with adderall!!! I had a mild psychotic episode where I thought everyone was out to get me, I couldn't leave home, and I am a "normal" person!

be safe. these are tools, not toys.

I am on 40mg of Srattera (once a day), 30mg of Adderall and 37.5mg of Paxil. I haven't noticed any unusual side effects, but that is just my own experience. Every individual is unique in their response to certain medications.

The answer is YES!!! The person asked a yes or no question. They didn't ask for your medical history.

Answer 2

Consult your doctor. From what I understand, the effects of Prozac on liver metabolism can necessitate a dose reduction for the wellbutrin and Strattera, to avoid having too high of a plasma concentration at the same time. So typically that combo would require a high degree of oversight from your doc, and the strattera dose would be increased very slowly from its minimum.

Answer 3

Yes, but you do not need as much Strattera because Prozac inhibits its metabolism therefore you maintain higher plasma levels of Strattera with less. It is safe to use both as directed by your doctor.

Answer 4

This is not an uncommon combination prescribed to patients. If your doctor has prescribed both drugs, they may be taken together.

As with all prescription drugs, these should only be used (alone or in combination) as prescribed.

Answer 5

Not unless you are prescribed both medications by the same doctor and get them both at the same pharmacy. Adderall and Prozac have a drug-drug interaction so it should be up to you & your doctor to decide if the benefits of taking both outweigh the risks. I have been a pharmacy tech for 10 years and I wouldnt do it personally...
