Is It Safe To Take Lexapro With Delsym Cough Syrup?
Is it ok to take lexapro with delsym cough syrup? I always take my lexapro before bed because I work days 3-11 and I don t want to fall asleep at work. I ve had a terrible cough for over a week now from all the pollen...atleast that s what I think is causing it....but I bought some delsym just now for the cough but I m afraid to take both.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
These medications should not be used together.
They both increase the levels of a chemical called serotonin and can potentially result in serotonin syndrome.
This syndrome is associated with confusion, seizures, hallucinations, change in pulse/blood pressure, muscle spasms, blurred vision, tremor.
These are some of the symptoms associated with this condition.
You should not use the both of these medications.
I hope this helps
