Increased Energy and Motivation
Rhodiola rosea, Lisdexamfetamine & Fluoxetine
Citation:   Carolyn. "Increased Energy and Motivation: An Experience with Rhodiola rosea, Lisdexamfetamine & Fluoxetine (exp109622)". Erowid.org. Nov 30, 2016. erowid.org/exp/109622

 
DOSE:
60 mg oral Lisdexamfetamine (daily)
  60 mg oral Pharms - Fluoxetine (daily)
  500 mg oral Rhodiola rosea  
BODY WEIGHT: 145 lb
I take Vyvanse 60 mg daily in the morning to aid with treatment-resistant depression. I still experience a great deal of fatigue and decided to try rhodiola rosea at 500 mg taken in the morning with my Vyvanse and Prozac 60 mg.

I have tried this combination twice now, on back to back days, and have noted increased energy and motivation. I have not had any side effects at this time. I have not noted any signs of serotonin syndrome, which I have experienced in the past and am familiar with.

It may not be a safe combination for everyone, but it seems to be safe for me so far. I do seem to have a high tolerance for serotonergic medications, so that may be a factor. Be careful, but this does not seem to be an absolute drug interaction issue.
