Is There Any Relatiom Between Alcohol And Vyvanse?

I am a college student and started taking vyvanse in January after taking other stimulants for ADHD for the past four year. I try not to drink while taking medication, but a few nights ago I drank for the first time while on vyvanse. I very blacked out (which lasted about 6 hours) very quickly and became verbally mean, which I have never done before. I am in danger of being suspended from my sorority because if things I have no recollection of saying. Can this at all be contributed to combining vyvanse and alcohol?

Drug interactions are common.

During this process the levels of one of the medicine becomes higher which causes these effects, since it is not excreted.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.
