Lexapro belongs to a group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Medicines in this group are mainly anti-depressants. Though it is an effective medicine that is used to treat depression, one should know its side effects and withdrawal symptoms before starting it.

SSRIs are meant to interact with the neurotransmitters in the brain and alter the chemical reactions in the brain. There is no exact map of the brain which explains the functions of it. These medications only try to take effect in a specific way. They may cure or aggravate the condition, and there is no guarantee of either. Lexapro cannot be taken with other medications or anti-depressants. You should always ask your doctor about this before starting the medication. Even natural mood enhancers cannot be taken while taking this drug.

When you initially take the medication, it is highly possible to develop side effects like hives. If you see any indication of such problems, immediately contact your doctor. The doctor may ask you to stop taking the medications immediately. Probably your body is allergic to the active ingredient in the medication and that is why you developed hives in the first place.

Lexapro does not suit some people with pre-existing conditions like bleeding disorders or seizures. People with such conditions should be careful and should tell their doctor everything that they need to know. Allergic reaction to medications is common and not all forms of medicines suit everyone.
