Is it safe to take a maoi otc medicine tablet if i'm on lexapro? i'm sick and there aren't many other options in the house...

No - not safe: I don't know of any over-the-counter Monoamine Oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's). But MAOI's can not be taken with numerous medications and food. It would not be safe to mix an SSRI and a MAOI.
