Brief Answer:
See advice below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Same isn't a MaoI but it can't be taken with lexapro since it may cause serotonin syndrome.
I think you may wait for some days in order that same gets down and away from body.
The best way is to wait for 14 days if possible.
You can ask your psychiatrist if it is possible to wait before starting lexapro.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
