It’s so hard to prioritize my time when I get so hyper focused on each task or just on something completely irrelevant. I was just diagnosed last year so I’m sti...

I’m on 20 mg of Lexapro and 50 mg Vyvanse and was wondering if anyone has drank alcohol while being on an antidepressant and stimulant? And what was your experience like? I take Vyvanse in the morning and Lexapro at night. If I’m drinking at night should I just skip the Lexapro for a day? Or should I skip both?
