Hello, I picked up my prescription today and the pharmacist asked if my doctor knows that I am taking imitrex along with Lexapro. She says they interact. My doctor does know because she prescribed it. Is there any harm in taking an antidepressant and triptans?? I assume that I am not the only one taking them.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
