Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes, You can drink chamomile lavender tea in the evening while taking Escitalopram. There is no interaction. If the tea is not helping for sleep, you may also wish to talk to your prescribing Dr about adding an additional medication for sleep or changing to a different med that has an extended release formulation.
