Avatar f tn It actually should be the pharmacy that would deny you filling it if they see a contraindication, whether it has to do with a drug allergy they are concerned might have implications for you taking Lexapro (ie a related drug), a drug interaction, you are taking other medication that would be vying for the same receptors in your body, or if it would be harmful for you to take with a medical condition you have.

Avatar f tn Are you sure you have the right drug? And buspar and lexapro and not recommended to be taken together. Tis is all a bit concerning. Another resource you have is a pharmacist. Ask to speak to them and inquire about this.
Avatar f tn First, an acute dose of alcohol (a single drink or several drinks over several hours) may inhibit a drug's metabolism by competing with the drug for the same set of metabolizing enzymes. This interaction prolongs and enhances the drug's availability, potentially increasing the patient's risk of experiencing harmful side effects from the drug.

Avatar n tn Lexapro shouldn't cause any particular GI discomfort. I don't know what GERD med you're on, but I'm not aware of any drug interactions between GERD meds and Lexapro (check with your pharmacists or an online tool as found on RxList.com). However, some people do have odd reactions to psychiatric meds, in particular during the first couple of weeks of taking them. Check with your doctor to see if the problem persists.
Avatar m tn Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you're taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Withdrawal: Don't abruptly stop taking Lexapro, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Discontinue under medical supervision. Monitoring: Regularly attend follow-up appointments to monitor your response to the medication and any necessary adjustments.
717272 tn?1277590780 Nurse finally figured out today that my Lexapro interacts with my interferon and crashes platelets even worse. I took Celexa for a little while, platelets dropped. Started taking it again and they really dropped. Stopped it, went up. Started Lexapro and they dropped. Went to half dose and they went up. I mentioned interaction to the nurse long ago. Celexa & Lexapro are almost the same drug.
Avatar n tn m assuming a doctor made this decision to switch out Lexapro for Paxil and add on Klonopin? Are they aware of your also taking propranolol? Drug interactions are real but typically doctors try to be aware of a patients full history as long as you provide it to them. A pharmacist where you fulfil your prescriptions is also a great source of information. In general, paxil and klonopin are frequently prescribed together.
Avatar m tn call your pharmacy for information on drug interactions.
