Lexpro is anti depressant. It should be taken only on doctors advise. Doctor should regularely check you. Before starting the drug liver kidney function, blood sugar shoud have been done. It is contradicted to take in bipolar disorder, along with beta block ihibitor.Now to me the drug should be stopped. There are good ayurbedic substitutes to treat depression.
