Hello,
Lexapro deplete your body in Vitamin B2, B6, B12, C, D, Folic acid Selenium, zinc, L glutathione
Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium, Copper and Phosphorus.
Avapro deplete your body in Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and CoQ10
My advice is to supplement these minerals and vitamins to avoid major health problems.
It is sad that labs don't tell that to the doctors.

That said, yes, since they CAN both cause drowsiness, it is possible that taking the two together can aggravate this side effect and make it more pronounced. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?
