Hi,
hanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Vyvanse contains 'Lisdexamfetamine', which is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic medication. It is used in adults to treat nerve pain.
Vyvanse is a central nervous system stimulant and hence it may alter your sleep.
There are no reported interactions found between intake of gabapentin and Vyvanse. However, it does not necessarily mean that no interactions exist.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
