I am a nurse...if you think the lexapro is not working to well talk with your doc about switching to something else, some antidepressants work better for others, you just need to find the one that works the best for you..and xanax is great for anxiety BUT you need to talk to your doc and get a perscription b4 you start taking them, they are also highly addictive, you need to be monitored by a doctor while taking them....im sure they may help with your anxiety, but mixing could be dangerous....alot of people are dying out there for mixing drugs, please see your doc.....hope you feel better
No. Talk to your doctor.
You can mix antidepressants if you want to end up like Heath Ledger.
No, you might die!
No you can't mix.....Xanax was perscribed for your dad and just for him, not for you, talk to your doc about upping your medication or changing meds entirely.
In this day chemicals in prescription meds to not mix. Think about why you are depressed. Do you sit at home? Do you have anything that is fun for you? If you are always thinking about feeling bad and sad that is all you will feel because that is all you think about. Try just once, when you feel bad, think of something that makes you happy for 1 minute. See if you don't feel better. When you are depressed nothing sounds fun so you have to practise feeling good and having fun. Feeling good starts moment to moment then when practised feeling good gets longer and longer. till you feel good more then you feel bad. So find 1 thing that make you feel good, Even if it is for one second. Then do it over and over. When that stops working find another thing that makes you feel good. Focus on the good.
Never, but never only think of touching Xanax! Its potential of turning someone addict is completely underestimated.
And get rid of those antidepressants immediately! Antidepressants and benzodiacepines/tranquillizers can't solve your problem. I'm speaking from personal experience with those godamn pills. Talking to someone like me in your neighborhood alone helps.
It sounds to me as if you were living in the US where those pills are consumed like candies. Why is that so? Because Big Business is behind it! Over here in Europe antidepressant are the ultimate ratio only.
If you're in doubt, contact me via e-mail. Good luck, anyway!
Don't mix anything without the assistance of a Doctor or even a chat with the pharmacist- how many deaths have been in the news in the last years for people mixing drugs- Anna Nicole's son mixed anti depressants. And one more thing- Xanax IS NOT an antidepressant. And I am not a Dr, but I have never seen Lexapro given for anxiety attacks- for lessening the anxiety- but not the attacks...xanax as well as ativan is usually rx'd for the attacks- they are anti anxiety.
Please go visit a doctor!
