I was taking Lexapro 10 mg for about a year and then asked the doctor to add a stimulant for energy and motivation. I got Ritalin 10 mg. The Lexapro + Ritalin combination hurt my heart in the end. Lexapro increases the QRS interval, and Ritalin increases the pulse and blood pressure. Combining Lexapro with a stimulant is not a good idea in my opinion.
