Cool Lexapro, Abilify & Lamictal

I was wondering if anyone has taken these 3 at one time. My son is in a social anxiety depression. He just started taking the Lexapro but I'm concerned about the combination of these 3. Dr. just says no problem but when I check out this combo, it seems to be a strain on the central nervous system. Would appreciate an answer. Seems the ABilify has got to go. Any experience with this?

Ive never taken all three but I have been on Lamictal and Lexapro at the same time. The only thing I can tell you is I had horrible depression episodes. I was very suicidal. I dont believe it had anything to do with actually mixing them or the lexapro at all. I believe it was the Lamictal all on its own that did it to me. Im not even bi-polar so why they even gave me Lamictal is a mystery. So if your son is dealing with anxiety and depression, Lamictal is probably not the best choice. In my opinion at least.

hi,
im on a cocktail to these 3 meds, 5mg Lexapro, 1mg ABilify, and 50mg of Lamictal.... works great for me. i take abilify and lamictal in the morning and laxepro at nite. i was diagnosted with PTD. my Dr's plan is to eventually stop taking laxepro bc i have been on lexapro alone for more than 3 years.... (about a year ago i was on 60mg of lexapro but that much dosage wasnt good for me bc i was numb) however, i really like this new combo bc it makes me feel normal -yeah, normal....
you need to give it sometime for it to work thou.... it took me more than 1 month to notice the chnages....
hope this helps! good luck with your son
P
