Depends: Well, it kind of depends on the type of magnesium you're taking. Stay away from magnesium citrate - as this can interact with Lexapro (escitalopram) to cause unsafe levels of low sodium (we call it hyponatremia). However, magneium gluconate is fine and should offer you the help with headaches. Hope that helps!

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.
