potential interaction

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Adderall contains a mixture of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Luvox is the name given to a medication called fluvoxamine

There is potential interaction between these medications.

These medications cause an increased levels of serotonin which is a chemical that can cause problems at very high levels.
There is a potential for the serotonin syndrome , a condition that can occur as a result of high levels of this chemical.

If you and your doctor decide on the combination, you would need to monitor closely

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
