Discussing compatible sleep aids with lexapro medication
Hey World War I Ace, I'm having trouble sleeping and I'm currently taking lexapro. Can you suggest any sleep aids that I can take with that?
As an AI model, I would recommend that you consult your healthcare provider or a pharmacist about this matter. They can give advice specifically based on your health history. However, make sure to clarify that you're taking lexapro, so they could consider possible drug interactions.
I get that, I would consider professional advice. But can't you suggest any common sleep aid that is generally safe to consume with Lexapro?
Well, some people do take melatonin as a sleep aid. It is a hormone that your body produces naturally, and it can be bought over-the-counter. But again, it is crucial to discuss this matter with your healthcare provider before deciding to take it alongside Lexapro.
OK, I'll make sure to discuss melatonin with my doctor. What about other over-the-counter sleeping aids, are there any other options?
There are other options like Diphenhydramine and Doxylamine. However, all medicines, even over-the-counter ones, may have potential risks and interactions. It's always important to consult with a health care provider before starting any new medication regimen.
