Medications effects: Thank you for informing about using Lexapro (escitalopram) and Diazepam. Using them together may increase dizziness, difficulty concentrating, some impairment in thinking and judgment. Using Tryptizol (Amitriptyline) with Lexapro (escitalopram) may increase the risk of a rare but serious Serotonin Syndrome. See Psychiatrist for Medication benefits and side effects, dose, gradual withdrawal of medications; and Therapy.
