Quick summary: major depression, started treatment with Lexapro 3 years ago (20 mg). Worked for ca. 6 months, then had to up dose to 30 mg, then 6 months later 40 mg, then 6 months later, went to 20 mg Lexapro + 300 mg Wellbutrin. Ultimately 300 mg Wellbutrin + 10 mg Lexapro was optimal. BUT...Wellbutrin caused bad hives (no itching, but so bad as to be practically disfiguring). So, went back to 30 mg Lexapro. Hives disappeared, but back to same problem as before with Lexapro vis-a-vis sexual side effects, lack of reliable control of depression. Based on posts I've read here, I'm unsure as to what to try next. Suggestions would be appreciated.
