			<description><![CDATA[
I recently switched from Luvox 100mg to Lexapro 20mg and have noticed that I get angry at some of the smallest things. I&#039;ve been on this for 2 weeks now and not sure if it&#039;s a side effect or just that my does is too high?

Anyone have the same experience?

I started Lexapro 4 years ago for anxiety. The medicine has changed my life and I am now trying to taper off of it. However I have gained 40lbs and it has been nearly impossible to loose the weight. I gained 30lbs of it all in a 3 month span 6 months after I started the medicine. Since then the scale keeps climbing. Anyone else have this problem?

			<description><![CDATA[
My doctor told me to go down to 25 mg of Lexapro for a week, then combine it with 25 mg of Zoloft the next week. But I&#039;m actually only on 20 mg of Lexapro ... do I go down to ten for a week, then take both Lex and Zoloft together the next week? I&#039;m a little afraid of serotonin syndrome. All during this, I&#039;ll stay on my 100 mg of Wellbutrin. I find that doctors are a little muddled about drug switches, so I always research. Thanks!!

			<description><![CDATA[
Been taking Lexapro for years. Works good. Just had some health issues and I felt like I needed a boost. Looking for more energy, less fatigue and a willingness to do more. My doc gave me 150 mg of Wellbutrin. Did nothing. Looking for energy. I was wondering if increasing the Lexapro from 10 mg to 20 mg would help. Does anyone take 20 mg and do you feel more energy , etc. Lexapro has been great for me with no side effects and no weight gain. Who takes 20 mg og Lexapro and how does it work ?&#62;

Hello. I have severe anxiety, depression, headaches, severe vertigo and am medication resistant. I&#039;ve tried about 20 different antidepressants with no luck due to side effects.

			<title>Impact of Lexapro and Wellbutrin Together As One Ages?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I am now 66. When I was about 60 I started to take lexapro (10-15 mg.) and wellbutrin (300 mg.) together. For a number of years they combatted depression very well. Recently I have been in a down period because of the appearance of very low-grade prostate cancer and a dicey job situation. . The drugs don&#039;t seem to be working as well. Does the impact of the two together change as one gets older?

			<description><![CDATA[
I have been taking Lexipro for a year now and although it has helped with my anxiety it has also caused me to gain 10 pounds. I&#8217;ve asked my doctor if there&#8217;s a medicine that doesn&#8217;t cause weight gain and she recommended Pristiq, and mentioned that it might cause weight loss. As a slim guy I can&#8217;t afford to lose too much weight, but at that the same time I certainly don&#8217;t want to gain any more weight.
