hello there, chemist here...i assume you have read the entire thread....please enlighten me, as i am confused: are you addressing the safety of using lexapro, cigarettes, and contraceptives, as asked by Donia? i am baffled by your post in this regard. you disclaim being a ``smart @ss,'' and mention giving up ``a habit:'' to what do you refer? cigarettes, enjoyed by many for their stimulant effects? contraceptives, used here to ameliorate symptoms of endometriosis in addition to, one assumes, unwanted/unplanned pregnancy? lexapro, used to alleviate depression? please clarify. i can only assume that, because you specifically point to the potential need to ``work with a doc to quit,'' that it is one of the two drugs that require a prescription, as smoking cessation aids are available over-the-counter, and do not require a doctor's supervision. so: you do infer that a combination of cigarettes + contraceptives OR cigarettes + lexapro is the goal for Donia and others in her position. please do share your extended and clear thoughts, i do feel, still, that i am missing something....thank you, and all the best, chemist
