Yes, it is safe to use the nicotine patch and Lexapro at the same time. There are no drug-drug interactions between the two medications and there are no disease states that call for the use of nicotine patch or Lexapro that would interfere in either of the medications efficacy.

Theoretically, as soon as the patch was removed (though some residual nicotine will remain dissolved in the subcutaneous tissues after it is removed), but the patch should not be taken on and replaced whenever the urge to smoke arises.

If the current patch is already at the 21 mg strength, a combination approach using the patch plus either Chantix or Wellbutrin/Zyban would be a more rational approach to smoking cessation.

I do know of several people who have quit using the electronic cigarettes after only a few months.
