Can Vyvanse Be Taken With A Beta Blocker?

Hello, I have been taking 50 mg of Vyvanse for a few months. Now I have a high pulse-145bpm at my last doc visit. Now I m on 12.5 mg of metopropol succinate. I m supposed to be taking 25 mg but I cut it in half because it made me much too tired. Is it safe to take Vyvanse with this beta blocker? Or should I ask my psychiatrist to change the Vyvanse to another med.? Thank you.

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is safe to take the anti-psychiatric drug with cardiac medicine but it has to be suggested or prescribed by cardiologist and psychiatrist. You cannot change the dose on your own, if you have some symptoms you have to see a doctor. And then discuss the issue but do not change the medicine or change the dose.

Hope I have answered your query.
