MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.

Yes: Valerian is an herbal extract used to aid in going to sleep. As far as I know this is a fairly inocuous supplement, and there should be no problem using it with Lexapro. Lexapro can be prescribed for depression as well as anxiety.
