Can you take doxepin and lexapro together for anxiety and insomnia? thanks.

Drug interactions.: If prescribed that way by your medical provider. Serotonin Syndrome (which is quite serious) has been reported with this combination - but that does not necessarily mean if would occur. Your own medical provider knows your dosages and would be the best person to ask.
