A member asked:
I was just prescribed lexapro (escitalopram) (10mg) and took it for the first time today. is it safe to take valerian root pills at night for restful sleep?

Generally OK combo: but using valerian together with escitalopram (Lexapro) may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Consult prescriber if problems occur. Best regards.
