Is Lexapro safe to be taken while on Wellbutrin and Effexor?
human
In the past, I have been on anti depressants, Wellbutrin and Effexor. Just recently my general physician put me on Lexapro without my asking. He apparently felt I could benefit from it. As of 1 month, I am feeling no difference. Should I try 1&1/2 pills ( 15mg ) or just forget it ?

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Lexapro is Escitalopram and it can be given. These drug usually starts showing its effect in the beginning of treatment, if there is no improvement then the drug is changed and if there is slight improvement dose is increased or a augmenting agent is added depending on which will be more beneficial. I will advise you not to increase the dose until your prescriber has advised it, there are certain things to be noted before increasing the dosage. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
