Lexapro, Adderall heart murmur

Posted by libjennifer on April 1, 2004, at 13:24:21

I've been taking Lexapro for about a year now for anxiety and depression, and the Lexarpo has been great for anxiety. However, lately I've felt the same lack of motivation, emotion, and flatness that almost always occurs on the SSRI's after a while. My doctor has suggested a low dose of Adderall to increase my energy and concentration, however, I have a heart murmur. My pharmacist seemed alarmed by this combination and I called the doctor to ask him about this. He basically said not to worry about it, especially at at a low dose of 5 mgs a day.

Does anyone have any experience with this combination? if I try 5 mgs tomorrow morning, am I going to keel over? is there another stimulant that I could try that isn't quite as harsh as the amphetamines? I've taken Wellbutrin in the past and had severe anxiety as a result. I suggested Strattera to my doctor, but he shot that down right away.

Any advice is appreciated!
