hey...
ive been on lexapro 20mg all year (on 10 mg since last August) and with the increase have noticed my mood more stable but i'm REALLY tired all the time and still feel really uncomfortable anxiety (tho no panic attacks) my gp suggested a low dose of wellbutrin to be added, so i might ask my pdoc about that and a prn benzo, but am worried about trouble sleeping which happens to me alot anyway
anyone can tell me about taking lex and wellbutrin? thanks!!!d

I actually started out on wellbutrin. I only had trouble sleeping once my dose was upped to 300mg. I was very sleepy once they added the lexapro. But after a month or so the sleepiness wore off. With the Wellbutrin you should notice it helps you become a little alert in the morning. Also I take my lexapro at night since it is a sedative. The first few weeks of Lex I had some anxiety agitation. But it subsided after a couple of weeks. Good luck. In my experience Wellbutrin and Lexapro have been a pretty good combo.
