Hi one and all, my cousin who is in her sixties has been taking Seroxat and Diazepam as prescribed by her doctor and has been doing so for a few years now as she suffers from PTSD however I don't think Seroxat is suitable for a lot of people (including myself). I was the lucky one, I refused to take the drug and slowly came off it and went onto another SSRI type drug and then I built up the courage to go cold turkey as I really did not feel any better by taking either of these. However I did take a lot of drugs in my youth and felt that I could handle the nightmares that followed and I did! I think sometimes you have to take drastic action to get the result you crave although I am not fully cured of my particular PTSD I feel a lot better knowing that I do not have to take these drugs again. So to recap my cousin seems to be ok on both of these but I personally don't think it's the be all and end all cure for any depression or PTSD problems a lot of us seem to have.

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)

Can you please tell me what is best taking Wellbutrin SR 100mg twice a day or combining Wellbutrin SR 100mgand Lexapro 10mg?

Wellbutrin and Lexapro work on different brain chemistries. Wellbutrin works on the dopamine while Lexapro works on Seratonin. Ten mg of Lexapro is a small dose. Wellbutrin can be taken twice a day to prolong its efficacy in conjunction with the Lexapro taken once. This is a standad therapy.


What happens if you completely stop taking Lexapro overnight?

I wouldn't do that if I were you. You need to wean yourself off of Lexapro slowly and even then you are going to get some withdrawl symptoms, including dizziness and nausea. That's what happened to me when I went off Lexapro over a two week period. From what I understand the withdrawl can sometimes be worse than what I had. I would consult with your doctor and come up with a plan for you to get off. If you need to go back on something I would stay away from Lexapro - I have been on several antidepressants and that was the worse one to stop!
