A member asked:
While on lexapro can i take tylenol (acetaminophen)? why isn't aleve safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is ok: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (such as lexapro) may enhance the antiplatelet effect of NSAID (such as Aleve/Advil). NSAID may diminish the therapeutic effect of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. That being said, many of my patients take both with no problems.
