A member asked:
Is it dangerous to take 10mg of lexapro (escitalopram) (for mild ocd) and concerta 36mg?

Not likely: The two medications may have some common side effects but should not in normal prescribed use be "dangerous".

Combining Medication: There should be no problem with taking these medications together. Your health care provider should know that you are on both and be monitoring you as you progress.
