My loved one has been taking Selegiline for two years, as an add-on to Sinemet. Recently his neurologist prescribed Lexapro. He took it for a week and was not doing well at all.

Ask your pharmacist about the interactions and if they their is a problem, call your doctor ASAP.
Do you use Eldepryl (Selegiline) too? I think both meds are probably very good, but I wonder if anyone is taking them both.
I use lexapro for depression no problems
