Can you take skinny fiber while taking lexapro (escitalopram)?

Don't know: Since skinny fiber is a supplement - we don't have information about interactions with prescription medications.

"Skinny Fiber": Skinny fiber contains glucomannan, a soluble, fermentable, and highly viscous dietary fiber. It also contains caralluma, a cactus that grows wild in india, for appetite suppression. No direct interactions have been described between these ingredients and lexapro, (escitalopram) but the fiber might change absorption of your medication. If using both, i suggest taking them at least 2 hours apart.
