Concerned About Serotonin Syndrome After Taking Vyvanse and Duloxetine

i don’t know if i’m just being paranoid but i’m really concerned that i may be showing symptoms of serotonin syndrome. i just started taking 30mgs of vyvanse yesterday morning and i’m also on 60mgs of duloxetine in the morning and 30mgs at night. it’s only my second day taking the vyvanse and i feel better and have accomplished more than i have in at least 6 months and i’m terrified that i finally found something that really works for my inattentive ADHD but might end up causing me to develop serotonin syndrome. the symptoms i’m having are problems balancing but i’m not having any dizziness and my pulse is a little bit high. any advice from people who take prescription stimulants and anti depressants?

When starting a new medication, you may experience some side effects. If the side effects are more serious contact your doctors office. I have been on an antidepressant and Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia. 🙏 I went off the Lyrica to see if it was doing anything to help my restless body and nerve pain. I immediately started to have fallout! If you can, I would be very grateful for input!

my psychologist told me to wait about a week to see if my body gets use to the new meds and i go back to my psychiatrist on the 15th and i’ve started a daily journal of any symptoms i’m having. wanna private message me and tell me a little more about what you’re going through?
