A member asked:

Can i take omega 3 (pro nutrients epa/dha) if i'm on lexapro (escitalopram)? feeling some anxiety and depression.

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes, you may: As long as you're not on Coumadin (warfarin) you may go ahead and take omega-3 fatty acids. Best wishes.

Dr Fowler and 3 doctors agreed

Yes: Yes you can but these supplements have no proven value and are a waste of money.
