Not sure if true or not, but I know several depression medications have a chance of increased depressed thoughts, though in my (limited) experience, it would show up in two to four weeks.

Not sure if Lexapro has that potential side effect or not, as it was not what I took. It does look like it has less side effects/reactions to other drugs (example: Aspirin) than what I took, so that is reassuring.

Several things say to "use with caution" with St. John's Wort, and triptans (used in Migrane medication), likely due to a risk of causing "Seratonin Syndrome" (too much Seratonin)

On stopping the use of Lexapro after a period of time, from a quick look-up, it says flu-like symptoms are common.

Note: none of this is meant to be discouraging, but rather to provide some basic information that you may or may not already have.
