In reply to Low dose Lexapro, posted by sedona on July 29, 2004, at 2:11:40
Dear Sedona,
I too have been very lethargic and not motivated on 10-15 mg lexapro (and 20 mg makes me manic!!). Lowering my dose to 5 mg makes me terribly depressed. But two recent changes I have made have helped with my lethargy:
1.added a small dose of Welbutrin (150 mg). I have had SO much more energy with this small dose. I had forgotten what it was like to get things done!!
2.more recently I have lowered my lexapro dose to 10 mg and added 5 mg paxil. This brought me out of a depression and gave me back my energy. The original plan was to get rid of lexapro and replace it with a higher dose of paxil, but this 10 mg lexapro/5 mg paxil cocktail is working so well that I hope we can keep it there. I am still on 150 Welbutrin and also take 300 mg lithium.
Best of luck! ~Autumn~~
