Nope ... not without your doctor's approval. Most medications can only do what they are supposed to do when taken as prescribed by a licensed medical professional. To do otherwise totally defeats the purpose of taking the medication in the first place. You may be feeling better about yourself, but you certainly do not want to slip backwards into a depression mode, so, do as your doctor orders.

Is there anything better than Lexapro or xanax?
I am not a professional just a person with depression. If you haven't already I urge you to see a psychiatrist. They are medical doctors as well as psychologists so they can prescribe pills. Continue seeing her/him until you feel better. The psychiatrist will sometimes use higher doses or a combination of antidepressants to make you feel better. I have severe depression and I am on five different antidepressants but I feel so much better. I am taking cymbalta, wellbutrin, prozac, lamictal, and trazadone (which also helps me fall asleep and stay asleep and is not addictive). Don't give up and think you have to live with depression, keep trying! Good luck and good health.
What happens if you use cocaine while on Lexapro?
As someone who has used Cocaine while taking Lexapro, I can tell you that it's not a happy outcome. The Cocaine high I experienced while also on Lexapro was the best I had ever had, simply an amazing feeling that didn't go away for 24 hours! Then, the next night I suddenly felt extreme anxiety and depression accompanied with thoughts of dread. I thought I should do more Cocaine to make these feelings go away, big mistake. The high I experienced this time was completely the opposite, now not only was I anxious and depressed, but I was wired and the stream of negative thoughts was flowing faster than before. Long story short, I then realized that Cocaine and Lexapro don't mix well, and as a result of that, I fell into a suicidal depression for the next week, until I was immediately taken off the Lexapro. The first time, the Cocaine and Lexapro made me feel better than I had ever felt before, but once I came down off this high, it was as if the Cocaine programmed my brain to react oppositely to the Lexapro, the days following the Lexapro made me feel more depressed, rather than it's usual anti-depressant properties. The Cocaine was like a switch that turned the Lexapro into a depressant rather than an anti-depressant. Don't do it!
What is better- Lexapro or citalopram?
This depends. The two drugs are very similar in the way they work and which one is better will really depend on the sensitivity of the patient and the patient's pocket book. Lexapro (Escitalopram) was developed from the molecule Citalopram. The drug maker removed the part of the molecule that was believed to cause many of the adverse side effects of Citalopram. As a result, it is believed to be cleaner and much easier on the body. Lexapro, however, is much more expensive then Citalopram because the drug maker still has a patent on the drug. Citalopram is shown to have more side effects, however, many patients taking this drug tolerate this drug with very little to none. If you try this drug and experience no adverse side-effects, Citalopram is definitely better, because its cheaper. If it does cause adverse side-effects, it may very well be better to switch to Escitlopram even at a higher cost. In terms of their effectiveness on depression and anxiety, there is very little difference.
