Why taking luvox with ritalin i get stimulating but i get depressing, but lexapro with ritalin dont cause stimulation without depression, if i take lexapro for long time with ritalin i will get stimulation? thanks

Can't say.: There is moderate potential for drug-drug interaction between Ritalin & Lexapro. Per Drugs.Com drug interaction checker- methylphenidate may increase blood levels & effects of escitalopram. There is risk for serotonin syndrome. I invite you to use a drug interaction checker to see all possible drug interaction effects.
