Hello Welcome to HCM
Overall if adderall and lexapro (escitalopram) are taken together then there is no significant interaction. These drugs can be used together but both drugs have common side effects like GIT upset or burning sensation in upper abdomen which result in significant distress to individual taking these medicines. You can consult your doctor again for any dose adjustments of drugs. Alternately medicines like Proton pump inhibitors as omeprazole can be taken with these medicines. These medicines will help to decrease the gastric side effects.
Hope this helps you. Thanks
