Hello thanks for asking from HCM
I can understand your concern. Lexapro is Escitalopram and is a SSRI drug. Gabapentin is a GAGA drug and is safe to use. Modafinil, Lexapro and Gabapentin are safe to be taken together.
Gabapentin should be taken in evening hours because the drug is known to cause sedation. Modafinil causes alertness and should be taken only in morning hours and will maintain alertness. Lexapro can be taken in evening or morning time and no need to worry for that.
Thanks and Take care
