Question : Well I have been sick and I found out tonight after pharmacy was closed that the medication I was prescribed was not going to help after getting culture back. So the Dr is calling me in right medication in the morning. I had some antibiotic that I didn't take previously so I decided to take it because I feel bad. I took It with Lexapro . I then decide I better check interactions of medications to find out the cipro and lexapro interact. Do I need to seek professional help to induce vomiting.
