I would like to know my daughter as been using Lexamil for 3 years. The doctor subscriped Cymgen to be taken in the evening. She is still using Lexamil in the morning. Is this adviseable. She is only 17 years old. Thanks ## Have you spoken to her doctor about your concerns? There can be some risks associated with taking the Escitalopram in the Lexamil with the Duloxetine in the Cymgen, such as hyponatremia and serotonin syndrome. This doesn't mean they can't both be used, but her doctor should carefully take the dosages under consideration and should be monitoring her on a regular basis. ## From what I could gather, these two drugs should not be taken together, as there is an interaction between the active ingredients "escitalopram" and "duloxetine" in each drug....

What will happen to my baby newborn if I breastfeed and use Lexamil? ## Hi corrie, Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram; which can cause harm to the fetus if it is used during the last 3 months of pregnancy.

Apparently, there have been two reports of infants experiencing excess somnolence, decreased feeding, and weight loss in association with breast-feeding from a Escitalopram- treated mother. The decision to continue or discontinue either nursing or Escitalopram therapy should take into account both the risks of Escitalopram exposure to the infant and the benefits of Escitalopram therapy for the mother. The results of two case r...

Learn more Escitalopram information here. And Dolopar just contains Caffeine, so it's a stimulant and is not going to help with a fever, either. Learn more Caffeine information here.
