Thanks for the input. Before when I tried Lex I started at 10mg as I was stopping 20mg of Paxil. I stopped the Paxil because I had taking it a while and felt the need to make a change because I had been on it for a long while. Now that I've not taken any SSRI for at least eight weeks now, maybe trying the Lex at 5mg might be a more of a fair evaluation for the Lex. When docs first got their hands on Lex it was "10mg for everyone" which for someone with anxiety is probably to much to start with. Is it OK to break Lex to just take 5mg since they only come in 10mg and 20mg?? My pdoc actually suggested "WellPro" and of course acted like he coined the term, but from what you've read about the Wellbutrin-Lexapro combo have you heard positive results? Not just about offsetting sexual sides but adding something to give a serotonin boost since Wellbutrin doesn't cover that area? Also would 5mg have less sides than 10mg from what you've read?
