There are no immediate effects from taking Lexapro. You need to take it daily for at least a month. Even then it is not a narcotic so you won't get a "high"

How long should you stay on Lexapro?
Lexapro is a medication that is normally prescribed for Depression. It should be taken as long as you and your doctor feel that it is needed. If the medicine was prescribed to you because of a life event causing depression, you may only need it for a short amount of time until you have resolved and come to terms with that activity. However, in people with chronic depression, a antidepressant will most likely have to be taken as a lifelong treatment. Talk to your doctor about the length of time Lexapro is needed for you.
Can you mix ecstasy with Lexapro if you do not take Lexapro dose that day?
No you can't... both lexapro and ecstasy are dealing with the same material in your brain - seratonin. ecstasy brings it levels very high, while lexapro keeps it in a controlled level, so the ecstasy just won't work. not taking lexapro that day is meaningless, as the drug is not effective the same day, it keeps a certain level in your blood (which is why it takes 2 weeks after starting taking lexapro to really feel the effects)

Lexapro is an SSRI, wheras Valium is a benzodiazepine. Think of lexapro as a drug that will change your mood in the long term, wheras Valium is more of a quick fix. That is why it is prescribed for things like panic attacks and the like. Valium will give you a buzz, lexapro wont!
Can valproic acid and Lexapro be taken together?
Yes, they are fine. Remember to take your medicine every day whether you feel you need it or not.

Can you take Lexapro with flexeril?
If you have Lorazepam and Oxycontin you won't even need Lexapro. Lexapro is a drug that selectivly inhibits the reuptake of seritonin in the prensynaptic neuron, thus flooding the synapse with seritonin premoting the effects of seritonin in the postsynaptic neuron. It is prescribed often for anxiety and depression, but can also cause weight gain, an increase in anxiety and/or depression for the first two weeks of use, and drowsiness. Where as Lorazepam, a benzodiazapine, effects GABA receptors in a way much more noticebly decreasing anxiety; also Oxycontin is an opiate that increases dopamine release, producing a euphoric and analgesic effect. So it would be possible to take these drugs together to excite a numerous amount of chemicals in your brain in niether an agonistic or antagonistic way, therefore reducing the risk of overdose; however Lexapro on top of these two drugs would not have much of a noticible effect and in fact could make you feel slightly nauseated. I also would not suggest taking Lexapro unless you have been on it for a while.
