Taking psychedelics while on ADHD medication

[paradiseengineering]

Hi! Im diagnosed mild/moderate ADD. I have been self-medicating with cannabis for 12 years, and it really held me back in many ways. I have been prescribed 10 mg of Vyvanse in the morning (pretty low dose) by my doctor to help me trough the first months of withdrawal and raise my dopamine baseline and reduce impulsivity to go back to smoking. I have tried to quit weed maaany times and now im 1 month sober. The meds help me in the fact that I have had no cravings for weed this time. 

I have been thinking of doing magic mushrooms in the future, either microdosing or a trip (yes I have prior experience). My motivation is increased connection to myself, nature, creativity and helping form a new identity without the weed. I am in no rush, but I dont know how to go about while on the meds. Taking them in the morning at the same time would be a bad combo. But i'm thinking of how it would be if i take the mushrooms in the afternoon or skip a day of meds. Im pretty sensitive to substances so I dont know if suddenly skipping a dose could cause a bad trip. 

I know this might be a controversial one and this forum is not for medical advice. At the same time my doctor can't really give advice on this, if you know of other places thats better to ask, please let me know.

Stimulants are usually safe with psychedelics, but keep them in the low dose for avoiding overstimulation. Morning stimulant dose and evening trip sounds about right. Although if you can get your hands on 5meo it will be a better fit.

This is the general medical caution for this combo:

"These are not USUALLY physically harmful, but they may produce undesirable effects, such as physical discomfort or overstimulation. Extreme use may cause physical health issues. Synergistic effects may be unpredictable. Care should be taken when choosing to use this combination.

Stimulants increase anxiety levels and the risk of thought loops which can lead to negative experiences"

Imo, it's generally safe if you are working with 5-MeO-DMT or with low doses of mushrooms (avoid LSD). When you feel comfortable with those ranges try increasing the dosage, you may also explore not taking the Vyvanse, it shouldn't be a big deal either because you won't need to be productive that day, but given your ADD it may even be helpful to take them combined, who knows.
