Cephalexin, Vyvanse & Junel FE - Can these be taken together?

Hi so recently I was diagnosed with a sinus infection with postnasal drip. As a result of my post nasal drip I have had a lingering chronic cough. My doctor put me on 500mg of Cephalexin for 10 days 2 pills twice a day as a result. In addition to this, I take 30mg of vyvanse for ADHD and Junel FE for birth control.
Since taking all them, I have had issues with gaging coughing about 10 minutes after taking my meds and gaging coughing almost to the point of throwing up after eating a meal. I was told that the Cephalexin was going to make the birth control ineffective, but I don't know what's causing the cough.
Should I continue to take them altogether or should I be spacing them out?
Golden430; I don't see any problems with these other than what they have already told you about your birth control being less effective so this month you should use a backup form with it. And nothing about a cough. Are you drinking enough water throughout the day? What you might do is call your Pharmacist that filled the prescriptions and let them know what the problems are and see if they can help you they have a ton of knowledge on medications. Try to take it easy in the meantime.

Golden; Just want you to know also it could partly be the infection your fighting that could also be causing you to cough or the nasal cavity draining because as your getting better they are clearing and drain. Anyway, the Pharmacy phone well be on the pill bottle let them know and see where that goes. Best of luck to you.
