Take Escitalopram and Dicloxacillin at their usual prescribed times.

Watch for: unusual nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (especially watery or bloody), stomach cramps, skin rash, dizziness, or signs the other medication is working differently than usual. When to seek emergency help: Severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of face/throat, hives), severe or persistent diarrhea (possible C. difficile infection), yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or irregular heartbeat. Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed.
No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Escitalopram and Dicloxacillin — is that OK?"
