Adipex and Lexapro
by Sarah_Young, Sep 30, 2009 12:14AM
Today I saw my doctor and was put on Adipex, I am also taking Lexapro and I have been for about two years. I am 22 years old, 5ft and weigh 253 pounds, I really need to lose weight and I was wondering if it is safe to take these two medicines together. I have searched about it and some websites say it is okay and others say it is dangerous. My doctor told me to take the Adipex for three months and then she going to put me on Glucophage. Thanks, Sarah.

I am not aware of any significant known interactions between these medications - but I do have to defer to your own doctor's recommendations. Take care.
