I take Celexa (it's actually a spin-off of the Lexapro molecule) for migraine prevention and it doesn't interfere with training.
That said, if you just started on Lexapro and/or this is your first experience with this type of a drug, expect to feel weird for a few weeks and stay in touch with your doctor as you experience various side-effects. We all metabolize these things differently. Getting to the right therapeutic dose of Celexa was, for me, rather uncomfortable. I was lethargic, then unable to get to sleep, then a bit jumpy. Once we found the correct dosage, however, everything fell into place and I feel great. The keys to success are 1.) not making any sudden changes in your dosing schedule (e.g. just deciding to stop or doubling your dose) and 2.) keeping your doctor fully informed about how you are feeling, even if it's before your next appointment.
Hope this helps a little. Good luck!

Sometimes the side effects of these drugs reduce over time.
I was taking endep for migraine prevention - not sure if that is same as Celexa - and I found more affect for cardio than weights. It does affect weights a bit, but just do your best.
I had been on the drug 2 years before and it made a greater affect, so much so that stopped exercising (I was less committed then) and quickly put on 4kgs of fat (I never gain fat while exercises, no matter how much I eat, but will gain fat if injured/sick and continue normal diet). I was not impressed at the time, although this was easily lost once exercise resumed.
When I tried the drug again recently I told myself that I was not letting myself make any excuses and I would train just as hard - it seemed to work

I train with them as well. The sides will subside after the body adjusts to them.
The only problem is weight gain in the mid section which does happen from them. Besides that if I don't take them I'm crazier then a bag of loose hammers.
