Default Lexapro and Phentermine

I realize they say you shouldnt take these together in the cautions. But I have heard of people taking such things as phentermine and zoloft to increase weight loss. Is it worth a try to stay on my phentermine and begin taking the anti depressant prescribed to me?

Did the same doc prescribe both? Why were you prescribe the Lexapro? Was it for anxiety and depression or for an assist with the phen? Yes it is okay to take both just watch for serotonin syndrome. But I would say if the phen is working on its own do not bother adding the Lexapro. The Lexapro can be very hard to get off of if you are not working with a psychiatrist. Good luck!!
