Hi all,
I am in the process of compiling a nootropic stack primarily so I can think more clearly in school and be more healthy/happy. However, I am on the SSRI Escitalopram (Lexapro), and I am not sure what might interact with it. I know it blocks the reuptake of serotonin. I have read about racetams like Aniracetam, which from what I understand is an ampakine and may interact with 5-HT receptors. I am most interested in Pramiracetam, which is apparently the most potent nootropic. Some other compounds I am interested in taking are: Vinpocetine Huperzine-A DMAE Are any of you on escitalopram and using a nootropic stack? Do you know of any interactions? Any suggestions for what is the best to take for my purpose? Thanks |

The SSRI dose is important in this equation. Watch out for anything that could cause serotonin syndrome. In fact I would not recommend taking any nootropics if you are taking your SSRI for a medical condition. That's not just because of drug interactions (not just involving serotonin effects), but also as the nootropic itself could produce effects or side-effects that could adversely affect that medical condition.
