Lexapro and Effexor

Posted by nihocl on December 3, 2007, at 15:08:31

I'm having a hard time with depression right now. I am taking 20mg of Lexapro. My pdoc wants to add Effexor XR to it. I have taken Effexor in the past and don't really remember anything good or bad about it except how hard it was to get off of it. He has me starting on the starter pack at 37.5mg and wants me to go up to 150mg. I'm not sure about taking both of those together.
One other option that he suggested if the Effexor does not work is to stay on Lexapro and add Cytomel to it. I don't have any thyroid problems but he said that might help my get up and go come back. I'm tired of sitting in one chair so long that I grow roots.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has done either option...
thanks
