The pill has a 97% percent rate. Since you changed pills recently, I'd use a different method of birth control the first two weeks, or abstain.

Nope, not forever, just a second method of birth control for two weeks such as a condom. OR abstain for that two weeks. You should be fine after that.

The pill is 97.9 percent effective. So there is always a 2.1 percent chance you will get pregnant.

The lexapro is fine to take with the pill it will not decrease its effectiveness.
