I have been taking Xanax, escitalopram and lamotrigine for years. Just started taking Adderall and I stopped taking the escitalopram and lamotrigine. Not sure if this is a good idea.
How do I dose out my prescriptions with Xanax and Adderall?

Hi, Pbach!
What are you taking the medications for? Anxiety, depression, adhd?
Is your doctor aware that you've stopped the escitalopram and lamotrigine? No, it's never a good idea to stop psych meds abruptly. You could experience withdrawals and a return of your original symptoms. Both medications are going to need to be tapered with a reducing dose schedule provided by your doctor.
