Hello  walt,

You can go to www.drugs.com, fill out your profile as if you take both and the program will cross referance any meds with it's data base and tell you if you can take both, or if there is a problem with taking  both. Good Luck it is how I found out one of my meds can cause a problem with one of the others I take.Smilevlbhopes you find your info you are looking for.

Hi Walt,

Thank you for your question. Medications like Xanax and Lexapro are often used in combination together without any problems. However, it's important to know that using these medications together does increase the risk of side effects such as confusion, drowsiness, loss of coordination, and weakness. If you notice that you are experiencing any of these side effects more frequently, you should discuss with your doctor whether another medication regimen would be better for you. I hope this answers your question!

Best of luck,

Casey
