Can lexapro and dramamine be taken together?

Posted by Wildflower on November 6, 2003, at 21:48:20

I may be headed out for a weekend excursion on a friend's boat next weekend. I've never had motion sickness before but I'm not sure if lexapro will induce it. Thought I'd take dramamine with me just in case.

Any interactions?

Wildflower,
Sorry it sis a bit too late for your excursion (just now saw the post), but in general anti-histimines (such as dramamine) are not a problem with Lexapro. I am Lexapro and also take Phenargan for motion sickness (dramamine stopped "cutting it" years ago).
However, I have been told that Lexapro actually mitigates motion sickness in some folks, so you might actually need less dramamine.
I hope your weekend went well anyway!

Michael
