" I am on Lexapro and Lamictal. My doctor added Nuvigil to give me energy and I have Atavan for when I need it (anxiety).

In the past Lexapro has helped me on its own. But I switched to Citalopram (generic Celexa) at about half the dosage I needed to be on with disastrous results.

I think each antidepressant has different characteristics (like Lexapro also helps with anxiety) so your doctor would know best what medication would work for you.

You have to be patient with it since it takes a while to build up in your system and equalize. Right now I'm still waiting to break out of depression, but I keep trying to remind myself that it has worked in the past. And my doctor is confident it will work again.

Good luck. "

" I am on Wellbutrin & lamictal - xanax when things get bad - provigil for some energy - have patience it does take awhile to find the right ones - prozak worked for me for a long time then stopped & that happens but your doc is there to help.

Good luck "
