Anyone take ibuprofen, acetaminophen or aspirin or anything for pain or to reduce inflammation while on anxiety drugs? Im on lexapro and ativan at the moment. Just curious to see what you all have done as far as dealing with headaches or pain.

Pretty sure you don’t want to be taking NSAIDs with the Lexapro. So I would stick to Tylenol(acetaminophen)

Hi Mike, I very rarely take anything for pain but when I do, it's Tylenol

because I'm on a blood thinner and can't take NSAIDs. There shouldn't

be a problem but always check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure. :) xx
