In reply to Studies Of Using SSRIs With Stimulants, posted by bulldog2 on October 31, 2009, at 12:21:43
There are no indications that stimulants cross interact with SSRIs in any other way than to, on rare occasion, cause seratonin syndrome, but this is very rare as stimulants have little potentiating effect on seratonin.
There are concerns that SSRIs worsen ADHD, which complicates treating comorbid ADHD and depression, but there's not a lot of literature on it.
I have ADHD and OCD and I use Lexapro and Dexedrine to treat both conditions.
