Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Yes, you can: however, you must be aware that cold and flu medications can make you drowsy and when you take Lexapro (escitalopram) and Seroquel , they could magnify this side-effect. Make sure that you do not operate any machinery or drive. It may be a good time to rest , drink lots of fluids and take the time off.
