A member asked:
I have open angle glaucoma. is it safe to take lexapro (escitalopram) 10mg.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risky: Lexapro has been associated with exacerbation of glaucoma. It is unclear whether this is due to increase in serotonin or anticholinergic effects. Most antidepressants do have some anticholinergic effects which definitely can increase symptoms of glaucoma. If you need an antidepressant Wellbutrin (bupropion) would be a much safer alternative
