I can't offer anything with regard to this. But, if you have not already done so, you might consider re-posting this in the Psychiatric Medications forum. Here's a link:

Welcome!! Was the Lexapro added for depression? What is the lithium dose?

I don't know much about Lexapro but if you have concerns you should definitely bring them up to your doctor.

It's an antidepressant so a lot of ppl w bp will have to stay away from it due to risk of manic/mixed episodes, but if you're depression dominant and your manias are mild and infrequent it might be a good med for you. Everyone reacts differently to each med. How about give it a try, be on the look out for symptoms of going up, and be in contact with whoever prescirbed it for you in case that does happen?
