There will be those who may not like what I have to say here, but here goes..... I took the Wellbutrin and Lexapro combo for several years and am now TRYING to get off the Lexapro!! WARNING:Lexapro withdrawal is a bitch!!!!!!
Having said all of that I will throw in my wellness pitch: I was on about every psych medication on the planet. Then a while back I just said "the hell with it" and have VERY slowly come off all but the Wellbutrin and Lexapro(with doc of course). Now I mean I was "doping" like that for over thirty years and it seemed that I kept getting one med after another to relieve the "side effects" or "symptoms" that probably were CAUSED by half of the medicines I was on.. Just so you know, I am no youngster here I am pushing sixty-something and am a retired medical professional.
Get with a good physician get going on a good diet and exercise plan AND GET OFF CHEMICALS.
Also, for "ADD" get a "coach" and really work at conquering it. I belong to a group where we have all done that and we no longer take medication.
I am so graateful that I will be able to live out my life without chemicals !!
Oh yes the Wellbutrin and Lexapro WILL go too eventually!
