Hello,
The combination is contraindicated because both products increase the level of serotonin in the brain and can cause serious side effects, including heart problems and anxiety
However, I have a question, what is the reason why you want to add SAMe to the escitalopram?

For the mood.

OK, so as I understand it, escitalopram 10mg is not too effective.
In this condition, it is best to discuss with the doctor to consider a dose increase.
