I have taken them together and survived. 20 mg Lexapro with 5 mg Vicodin and 3 pints of beer. My doctor said the Lexapro and Vicodin are ok together as long as it is supervised and within the recommended dosage. The beer, probably not ok.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor.
It is possible that taking Lexapro and Requip together can increase the side effects of drowsiness, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people have also had impaired thinking while taking these medications in combination.
Ask your doctor.
Yes, I have been taking Lexapro 5mg in am and pm for two years. However I got very bad effects from trying the cheaper generic equivalent.
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"
Lexapro demonstrates therapeutic effects after 1-2 weeks.
Alcohol will intensify the effects of vicodin. The equation varies from person to person, but will resemble this: 1 + 1 = 3. Alcohol will intensify the effects of vicodin. The equation varies from person to person, but will resemble this: 1 + 1 = 3.
i would not advise taking any concerta while taking lexapro. I am currently taking lexapro and have taken concerta about 7 times. Each time i took concerta i would hear many scary voices in my head. i looked up the psycotic effects of concerta and they said that a side effect of concerta is hearing voices if you are on an antidepressant
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)
Taking any medication can cause your eyelids to swell and itch. All medication has side effects and this could be one of them.
Lexapro is not a narcotic, it is an SSRI antidepressant. Like a narcotic though, you should not just stop taking Lexapro suddenly if you have been taking it for a while.
Lexapro potentiates (amplifies) the effects of alcohol. That means that if you drink while taking it, effects like confusion, motor skills and depression may be increased. Recommendations are that you have no more than one beer, one glass of wine, or one 1-1/2 oz. drink.
