I do not belive these two anti-depressants combined can produce serotonin syndrome.
But here are definant signs of it just in case
The symptoms of the serotonin syndrome can include, but are not limited to:
: Euphoric feelings
*
Drowsiness / Tiredness
*
Sustained rapid eye movement
*
Overreaction of the reflexes
*
Rapid muscle contraction and relaxation in the ankle causing abnormal movements of the foot
*
Clumsiness
*
Restlessness
*
Feelings of being drunk or dizzy
*
Muscle contraction and relaxation in the jaw
*
Sweating
*
Intoxication
*
Twitching of the muscles
*
Rigidity
*
High body temperature
*
Mental status changes
Be sure not to take 5-HTP supplements, since being the precursor of serotonin which raises levels also, but i think you would have told that already.
These combinations are known to causes serotonin syndrome listed below, but i dont belive lexapro is listed below on generic terms
* paroxetine plus dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine
* paroxetine plus nefazodone
* fluoxetine plus clomipramine and buspirone
* fluvoxamine plus buspirone
* fluoxetine plus buspirone
* amitriptyline plus meperidine and venlafaxine
* venlafaxine and dextroamphetamine
* fluoxetine plus clomipramine
Ill look up some more just in case
