Yes, Xanax and Lexapro can be taken together. In fact, I am on Lexapro and Xanax currently. Many times psychiatrists will prescribe a med like Xanax with an SSRI like Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, etc. Then, when the anti-anxiety effects of the SSRI kick in, the doc may decide to wean the person off the Xanax.

In my case, I've always needed a med like Xanax to completely control my anxiety because SSRIs only helped a little. However, I am an unusal case.

Best thing to do is talk to your doc. Be open and honest and prepare your questions ahead of time so you don't forget antyhing.

Good luck!

Jerry
