A member asked:

Is it safe to take the lowest dose of lexapro in the mornimg and the lowest dose of buspar (buspirone) at night? will it cause seratonin syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: Seratonin syndrome is very rare, and many patients use those medicines together, even at higher doses, safely. Buspar (buspirone) may need to be used multiple times a day to be effective. Therapy together with these meds can also help to get better control of your anxiety. Good luck!
