Took Lexapro. Have Blood Pieces In Stool. Using Marijuana. Right Medication?
Started on Lexapro a week ago after a pause of 3 years, yesterday and today I started noticing bright blood pieces in the stool and when wiping off bright red, I have also been using marijuana to help with other side effects.. I am not sure what to do, blood only appears at lunch time when I go to the bathroom, I take the pill in the morning and smoke canabis at night to help me sleep....

Hi,
I suggest to report to your doctor about blood in the stool. Please bare in mind that using Lexapro is associated with easy bleeding of any source. Yours is from gastrointestinal tract.
Your doctor/GI specialist would examine your anus area and would ask for further tests (including colonoscopy) to determine the right diagnosis and get right treatment.
All the best!
