Will These Medicines Interact With Each Other?

I have some kind of skin disorder and this was told it would stop the itching and rashes. I currently take lamictal for manic depression, soma for back spasms (not all the time) klonipan for anxiety, also not all the time and vyvanse for ADHD. (I m 50) Will this interact with any of those meds?

Hi & Welcome.
Yes, these medications may interact with each other.



Klonopin (Clonazepam) a benzodiazepine when taken along with Soma (Carisoprodol) a centrally acting muscle relaxant may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

It may also cause impaired thinking, judgement, and motor coordination which may result in falls and injuries. You should avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving, swimming or operating hazardous machines.

Lamictal and Klonopin may also interact with Soma causing similar harmful interactions hence should not be taken together.

Hope these answer your query.
