Question 1

is it possible for you to take lexapro (escitalopram) with herbs?

Accepted Answer

Question too broad: If you can narrow it down to one or two herbs, then we can check it out. Your question involves all herbs and they are each different in their chemical  structure, action, and their interactions with lexapro (escitalopram). Please resubmit. Thanks.

Question 2

is grapefruit distillate safe or unsafe for a lexapro user? would a distilled grapefruit still contain any significant amount of the compounds responsible for medication interactions? product in question is seedlips spice94?

Accepted Answer

: Grape fruit juice speeds the absorption of many common meds like for High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol etc. Not known its affect on health food products. Best is not to take it with any med- take it several hours later.

Question 4

hi there! i'm on 10mg of lexapro, (escitalopram) which i stated taking about a week ago, and was wondering if rhodiola rosea has any negative interactions. thanks!

Accepted Answer

May be: Products like rhodiola are not regulated and do not have proven efficacy. It would be better to not use it. If you want to use it, discuss it with the doctor who prescribe lexapro (escitalopram).
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

ar there any interactions between tramadol, lexapro, and xanax?

Accepted Answer

Lexapro and xanax: I looked it up and found a "minor" interaction between lexapro and xanax.  You should discuss this with your doctor.

Question 6

are there any harmful interactions between gaba and lexapro (escitalopram)?

Accepted Answer

Just watch yourself: The only interaction I've heard of is a possibility of increasing the dizzy or drowsy and foggy thinking risks that Lexapro (escitalopram) already has - so watch and be careful not to do precision or dangerous tasks. I'd probably avoid it, but it's not in itself life threatening. The vehicle or tool you use would be seen as the proximal agent of harm. Sorry, I'm not meaning to be sarcastic - I just am sometimes.

Question 7

are there any interactions between lexapro (escitalopram) and green coffee bean extract?

Accepted Answer

Lexapro (escitalopram): Other than headaches , no harmful interactions on therapeutic doses.

Question 8

i've been on lexapro(10mg) for 15 days and khlonopin(.5mg) for 6 days. been having horrible sleep and memory loss. is this interaction harmful?

Accepted Answer

Moderate risk: Definitely tell the Dr. - it's not likely to be critical but you may be sensitive to the mix. Don't take risks like driving and do ask for alternative w/ less risk. Or, better yet - try therapy to lessen need for drugs. It can be more effective than drugs alone.

Question 9

i took my lexapro (escitalopram) at 7:45 am and took zofran at 4pm. not knowing their interactions. i am healthy with no health concerns. will i be ok?

Accepted Answer

Medication effects: I commend you for good Health..
Lexapro (escitalopram) is medication for depression.
Zofran is for marked nausea and vomiting.
Taking lexapro (escitalopram) after meals can decrease nausea.
Using Zofran with Lexapro (escitalopram) can increase the risk of a rare but serious Serotonin Syndrome; and can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. 
See Psychiatrist for Medication interactions and Therapy

Question 10

is there is any lexapro (escitalopram) interaction with omeprazole (prilosec)?

Accepted Answer

Probably not but...: Omeprazole can inhibit an enzyme in the liver that breaks down lexapro (escitalopram). Thus, levels of Lexapro (escitalopram) can theoretically increase when used in combination. I have not seen this in practice but it is described and should be monitored for, especially if you take a higher dose of lexapro (escitalopram).
