For me, I really enjoyed the lift of the tiredness Paxil gave me (although some people find Wellbutrin too much of a lift...like drinking to much coffee). I don't know much about Lexapro, but I assume it's still considered a SSRI. If so, you can take a theraputic dose of Wellbutrin (300mg of the SR version) and gain the advantage of two antidepressants. Your biggest problem may be getting your GP to go for it, as a whole they tend to be a little more conserative than a specialist.
