Is it bad to smoke while on Lexapro?

[Endless Smoker]

I was put on lexapro in the past months and i havent noticed any really significant changes besides the first couple days you take it you might feel a little wierd and you might have a really hard time going to sleep without a Blunt and a couple tylnol Pm's.

[Encatuse]

I've taken Lexapro, Effexor, Serequel, and abuncha other ones I can't think of in really large doses ((the beauty of being bi-polar and fat?)) and I've smoked on em all. Never any negative side effects for me. Just don't drink alcohol while on it. People get alcohol poisoning from like 2-3 beers while on anti-d's.

[larry]

Whats bi-polar?

[GooseBear]

yeah 10 mg of it and smoking won't be bad for you but what ENCATUSE said alcohol will metabalize much quicker in your blood and you'll get drunk faster

[PrescriptionDrugs101]

Lexapro belongs to a group of drugs called SSRI's which affect the chemical balance in the brain to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin. Weed shouldn't bother the Lexapro at all since weed mainly affects the neuron receptors of the brain and Lexapro deals with the chemical balance. You shouldn't notice anything different except the usual affects of Lexapro.

When you come off Lexapro if your on it for a long time it can be like trying to quit smoking you get really moody and pissed off at everything. If anything the weed should help with your problems other than compound them.
