Can you mix gabapentin Vyvanse and Ambien?

That is pretty much my concoction minus Klonopin. I've found no interactions between the Lexapro and Vyvanse. Gabapentin, however, seems to lessen the benefits of Vyvanse, shortening its duration. The Klonopin, interestingly, has very little interaction with the Vyvanse but it helps with the crash.

My experience alone.

This is safe only if your doctor has approved it. Both of these medicines make you very sleepy. Taking them together could cause dizziness and loss of coordination.

Is it safe to crush Ambien?

Contrary to what's written below, I've used Ambien (not the CR version) as medically prescribed for a number of months now. I have some small trouble taking pills/capsules, and intentionally crushed some of my dosages. I've noticed no problems when I've done this...no benefits nor drawbacks either. I've never tried "snorting" ANY drug, and couldn't possibly advise it. I WOULD advise consulting your physician prior to trying crushing and taking this drug yourself, and accept NO RESPONSIBILITY for those trying this otherwise.

You can crush and swallow ambien to no ill effect. The action of the drug may be somewhat faster. The pill dissolves within 90 seconds after you swallow it, anyway. Crushing Ambien CR is contraindicated as it is a time release (and expensive) medicine.

The short answer: absolutely not, nor a 'narcotic' per say. Its intended for use as a sleep aid, not a pain killer. Also, morphine and codeine are much different. Morphine is significantly stronger that plain codeine.
