Hell no, Lexapro affects your brain in a much different way than acetaminophen, or tylenol. If anything you'll feel more drowsy with these two drugs, considering how both promote drowsiness: Lexapro by promoting the effects of seritonin, and acetaminophen by its analgesic (pain releiving) and anti-inflamitory effects.

Of course it is always possible to overdose. It could be lethal if you were to take to much lexapro at once but if the majority of the lethal dose were tylonol than you would have a slow and very painful death due to liver and kidney failure that could take up to two weeks. So always take as directed and ask your doctor if your dosage seems potentially harmful.

Can you take Lexapro and tyrosine together?

Lexapro is generally safe to take with Tylenol (acetaminophen) but is not recommended to be taken with Advil (ibuprofen) or any NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) becausecombination of both may increase the risk of bleeding due to synergistic effects, NSAID antiplatelet effects augmented by inhibition of platelet serotonin uptake. The combination increases risk of upper GI bleeding. In short, don't take NSAID's with Lexapro because they can cause stomach bleeding. Tylenol is safe.


Can you mix Xanax Lexapro and acholol?

Mixing sedating drugs such as Ambien with alcohol can be very dangerous. The nervous system slows down causing respiratory depression which, with higher doses, can be lethal. Depending on how Lexapro affects you, it could causes the same overly sedating reaction when mixed with alcohol. To be wise mix neither, but the Ambien/alcohol combination is quite a bit more risky than Lexapro and alcohol.
