There is a book by Robert Tisserand called Essential Oil Safety. You can buy it at aromatools.com. I do not know of any possible interactions with the other two drugs, but since Lexapro is an SSRI, it is possible (unlikely, but possible) that chamomile, lavender, marjoram, or neroli might increase the effects of the drug. They can release seratonin. Also, Tisserand says on his website that the only essential oils known to interact badly with SSRI drugs are eugenol-rich oils (such as clove) and myristicin-rich oils (such as nutmeg). These two constituents are monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, which can cause this interaction with SSRI drugs. However, having said all that, the likelihood of any interaction is extremely small. I would think you would have to be using huge amounts of these essential oils, and as we know, when it comes to essential oils, "less is more." As the person above said, she has been taking an SSRI too and hasn't had any interactions. I hope this helps!
