i would not advise taking any concerta while taking lexapro. I am currently taking lexapro and have taken concerta about 7 times. Each time i took concerta i would hear many scary voices in my head. i looked up the psycotic effects of concerta and they said that a side effect of concerta is hearing voices if you are on an antidepressant

I had the same question, I also took an ADD medication with Lexapro. I was prescribed them at the same time. I did my research and found that you should NOT start taking them at the same time. Start one and start taking the other about 2 weeks after or they will interact. But other than that, you can certianly take them at the same time. Depression and ADD seem to go hand in hand a lot.

If you stopped taking Lexapro about 2 months ago and are feeling worthless and restless and have awful mood swings should you go back on Lexapro?
Did you stop this medication with your doctor's suggestion or on your own? I would recommend that you see a psychiatrist/physician before deciding what to do. It is possible that your body took 2 months to totally get rid of the effects of Lexapro and you are feeling the symptoms again that initiated the start of the med. If it were me or someone I know, I would strongly suggest starting back on a medication or to talk to a counselor/psychologist.
