i really hope 2 leagly ive been self medicating with them the lexapro stole my sex drive i couldn't get a boner at all i stopped cold turkey and started on benzos and now i feel great
Yes
I switched from 10mg lexapro to 30 mg cymbalta for 2 wk and then 60 mg. Have had good results. For one thing I quit gaining weight, as I did on lexapro. Cymbalta also helped my muscle aches and pains as an added plus.
There are no significant reactions between Valium and Lexapro. I actually take the two myself and I am an RN. I take Lexapro in the AM and Valium at night to sleep. Did your doctor prescribe these drugs to you? You should be consulting them about this question. Make sure anytime you see your doctor you tel them every medication you are taking (including herbal meds).
Lexapro is an SSRI, wheras Valium is a benzodiazepine. Think of lexapro as a drug that will change your mood in the long term, wheras Valium is more of a quick fix. That is why it is prescribed for things like panic attacks and the like. Valium will give you a buzz, lexapro wont!
Well, in one way yes it does. It does so because the Lexapro takes away the depression and sadness so a person is happier and therefore, feels like laughing and talking again. Lexapro is not addictive and is not a happy pill like Valium is.
Yes. It is not meant for regular use and Valium is a highly addictive drug, but you are able to take them together.

Dose anyone know if Lexapro considered a benzo? NO, definitely not! As a matter of fact, I do not know of any current SSRI antidepressants that have BZE's (benzos) mixed with or included in there manufacturing process....
Benzodiazepines, like Valium, Ativan or Klonopin etc. It should be done by an expert psychotherapist (The Dosages). See related link for more info!
When I was taking Lexapro (I am a male)I was unable to have an orgasm. I would get an erection, but could not no matter how long I had sex, have an orgasm. My doctor switched me to Welebutrin and I have not had a problem since.
yes, it can i used to be on 10mg of lunesta at night and 10mg of lex during the day. but be careful while taking lunesta, you can do some crazy things in your sleep. do a little research.
I recently switched from Cymbalta to Welbutrin. Cymbalta is similar to Lexapro. I started the transition by halving my Cymbalta dose while starting Welbutrin. This went on for a week, then I discontinued the Cymbalta and took only Welbutrin. Of course, the best answer to this question is to follow your doctor's orders.
