No, Lexapro is in a completely different family of medications than that of adderal.

Lexapro is what is referred to as a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) - In short it allows more free Serotonin to flow through your brains neurons (synapse's) for more efficient use. Bottom line it is an anti-depressant with zero recreational value.

Adderal is a completely different medication all together. Adderal is used very much in ADD/ADHD disorder. This is a psychostimulant, which might be confused as an antidepressant in the effects.. :) -- But it is far from it. It works on increasing Norepinephrine and Dopamine in the brain to promote focus/concentration and limit fatigue in the user.

Can you take adderall lexapro lamictal all same time I was perscribed lexapro and lamictal from same dr. then i went to diet dr. he perscribed adderall for weight loss i didnt tell him bout lex lami?

i know you can do lexapro and adderall at the same time since i am personal prescribed to both. I am not sure what lamictal is though. Just try to take the adderall in the morning and take the lexapro at night since they would work against each other and would cause more than needed stess on your liver.

Can you mix ecstasy with Lexapro if you do not take Lexapro dose that day?

No you can't... both lexapro and ecstasy are dealing with the same material in your brain - seratonin. ecstasy brings it levels very high, while lexapro keeps it in a controlled level, so the ecstasy just won't work. not taking lexapro that day is meaningless, as the drug is not effective the same day, it keeps a certain level in your blood (which is why it takes 2 weeks after starting taking lexapro to really feel the effects)
