Hi Phil (bobbiedobbs),
I was wondering if you ever ended up doing the combo of Lexapro and Ritalin and if so, how it's going. I'm thinking of adding Ritalin to my current Lexapro (20).Has anyone else out there tried this?

> Wanted sage counsel from active lex-site about any experiences combining the above medications -I am an adult lexapro user, apparently prescribed the ritalin add-on to help with excessive sleep (not outright fatigue or obvious depression, but low motivation) and inability to focus. The "R" word is scary to me because of all the press re Attention Deficit disorder and kids. Has anyone ever heard of this med match? I had suggested Lexapro augmented with Wellbutrin to help with the slowness and the sexual side-effects as well documented by numerous others. My doctor wants to try Ritalin and Lexapro first, if that doesn't work, perhaps Geodone (which I've never even heard of).
