Hello,
The painkiller and muscle relaxants that you were using are not a problem since you finished them before the fertilization day. The Vyvanse and neurontin are drug category C in pregnancy which means are not allowed and can potentially cause birth defects in animals but yet not known to humans.
You have used them for short period so abortion is not necessary. Continue the follow up tests with your doctor that check for birth defects.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
