Hi KeKe,

From what I could gather, there are potentially unsafe interactions found between Lexapro and Fluconazole. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of:

"Talk to your doctor before using escitalopram together with fluconazole. Combining these medications may increase the blood levels and effects of escitalopram. You may have an increased risk of developing side effects, including a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms while taking the medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor."

Perhaps this combination was simply too much on your body...

Were you prescribed these medications by your doctor? I would think he or she should be aware of such interactions. Especially like the one mentioned above.

Hopefully this info helps!

I took lexapro and flucozanole and ended up having a cardiac arrest. The doctor made me stop taking the lexapro and now I think I am going through the withdrawals.
