>He suggested the change because Zoloft is more "activating" than Lexapro, and therefore the combination would cause less drowsiness than Lexapro alone, while still maintaining the same basic anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects.
It is not standard practice to combine two SSRIs. It has not been adequately studied for safety or effectiveness. There is no evidence to demonstrate that such combinations would offer any advantages over using a single SSRI at a higher dose. Personally, I would stick with one SSRI - titrated to an optimal dose.
