Lexapro (escitalopram) is an antidepressant belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class, primarily used to treat anxiety and depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Depakote (divalproex sodium) is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer used to treat epilepsy, Bipolar disorder, and migraine prevention by affecting neurotransmitter activity. While both medications can influence mood, they serve different purposes and work through distinct mechanisms in the brain. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.
Because while depakote is mainly used to treat siezures, it can also be used with an antidepressant like lexapro as a mood stabilizer. I take sort of the same combo, but mine is lamectal and effexor
is it safe to take 2 xanex pills along with valproic acid ( neighbor to depakote) and Lexapro? Karen
Depakote is an anticonvulsant used for epilepsy, migraines and (mood stabilizer) for bipolar disorder. Darvocet is a strong painkiller which I believe is considered a narcotic.
yes, DR is a sealed enteric coated large oval tablet, sprinkle is a capsule intended to be opened and the contents sprinkled on food.
There are no known drug interactions between Lexapro and Nuvaring
Lexapro was developed by isolating the active component of Celexa® (citalopram HBr). Lexapro (Brand Name) is also known as escitalopram oxalate.
Lexapro (escitalopram) and Cymbalta (duloxetine) are both antidepressants but belong to different classes. Lexapro is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), primarily increasing serotonin levels in the brain, while Cymbalta is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), affecting both serotonin and norepinephrine. This difference in mechanisms can lead to varying effects and side effects for individuals. Additionally, Cymbalta is often used to treat conditions like chronic pain and anxiety, whereas Lexapro is primarily used for depression and generalized anxiety disorder.

If your doctor didn't tell you, you cannot have a child wile on Depakote. Not that you can't get pregnant or anything, but rather it will cause acute problems to the baby. So knowing that, I think it might be possible to cause a miscarriage?
Valproic acid's brand name is DEPAKENE. DEPAKOTE is the brand name for divalproex acid. They are technically two different medications. But, DEPAKOTE is converted into DEPAKENE inside your body ( divalproex acid is separated into valproic acid and a salt). After the converson, the two medications work the same way. The exact way they work on the body is unknown, but they are believed to increase GABA levels in the brain.
