I am starting tomaxafin and the antidepressents I have been taking was switched today to Lexapro which is not suppose to have any interaction with tomaxafin. Just curious who's on Lexapro and if it has helped you on the tomaxafin with hot flashes, etc. Just hope my body doesn't have any major change from the switch of sertraylne to tamoaxafin. Any plusses or minuses on the drug would be helpful. Thanks.

    Lexapro
    I take Clexa with is an older version of Lexapro. It has helped but I was on it
    before I had cancer. My Onc. assures me that the hot flashes would be much worse
    without it. I sometimes wonder but I'll keep taking it so I don't find out. You really
    shouldn't have many if any problems with the switch. I hope this helps.

    Lexapro
    Been on Lexapro for two years. I has helped me a lot. No hot flashes, but do have night sweats sometimes.
