I recently started taking lexapro and I know it takes a few weeks until it works has anyone been on lexapro and took cannabis or is it a bad interaction? I am reaching out to my provider about this but I have not got a call back so thought it was worth a try to ask?

I've eaten cannabis gummies with Lexapro. They're not very strong but I had no interaction. They told me where I bought them that they won't interact with any of your meds but I also investigated first.

I have used Lexapro and Effexor with cannabis in liquid form under my tongue. Liquid cannabis works better for major depressive disorder than pills. I don't smoke weed because of COPD and asthma

This is the Interaction Report that says you might experience some side effects with the combination:

Marijuana can act as a depressant in some people and as a stimulant for others... you'll need to see how it affects you.
Let us know what your provider says, okay?
