Hard to argue with: Success is hard to argue with. But they are a risky combination w/ respect to serotonin syndrome. That can be quite serious. But if you don't feel blurry, confused, disoriented, etc. you don't. That's good! But do work closely w/ your provider to watch for any bad reactions. Really important! But whatever the high chance of rain weatherman predicted, if it's sunny - it's sunny! Enjoy, but watch.

Take care: Cat, Zispin and Lexapro (escitalopram) both work partially by stopping Seratonin uptake. The two can interact, causing Seratonin syndrome, with flushing, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and vomiting. In the proper doses, they can be taken together, but only in close consultation with your doctor. Hope this helps!
