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.

Can you take Lexapro and coumadin?
My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lexapro to me while I was taking 4mg of Coumadin daily. Not sure if it makes a difference but I am only on Coumadin for another 3 months and have been taking Lexapro for about a month. So I would imagine it is safe as long as you continue to have your INR levels monitored. But you may want to check with your dr especially if you need to be on Coumadin long-term or even forever in addition to the Lexapro.
