Side effects that you may exprience when you combine amitriptyline with lexapro?
Hi, About a month and a half ago, my doctor started me on lexapro 5mg in the morning for 6 days then up to 10mg a day. A few days after starting on the 5mg dose in the morning I started taking 15mg Serapax (Alepam) 1-3 tablets a day for anxiety. (The reason I started was because of I was majorly stressed about work issues and had major anxiety). Just after getting up to the 10mg Lexapro, I saw a psychiatrist as I was still really anxious. He told me to keep taking the 10mg of Lexapro in the morning and also the take amitriptyline 25mg 1 hour before bed (to help me sleep), then take 15mg of Alepam at time of going to sleep or whenever I had panic attacks throughout the day. The next morning I took 10mg of lexapro after starting the amitriptyline the night before. It was horrible! I felt so weird and spaced out. I thought I was loosing my mind. I was about to pack my bags to go to the nearest pysch ward! I called the psychiatrist and went and saw my doctor as I felt that strange, not right at all. I have been going through hell the last two weeks on this cocktail of drugs. I really think the combination of the lexapro and amitriptyline does not work. Please let me know how you are going as I feel so alone and scared right now. Amber

Is it safe to take zanax to help with withdrawal from Lexapro?
Xanax can be prescribed by your doctor alongside lexapro and taking them at the same time is okay. I am on Lexapro and take Xanex for occasional bouts of anxiety or panic attacks. However, weening yourself off Lexapro with Xanex is probably not the best idea. If you are having withdrawal from Lexapro you should probably go back on it.
