Hi Karalyn,
I've noticed that the Lexapro made a huge difference in my anxiety levels and depression. It's just made me tired all the time.
I can understand why you don't want to be on 2 meds. You can take Klonopin, Xanax and Lorazepam on an as needed basis (when you're feeling VERY anxious and need to calm down) You don't have to take them every day. It's just something to keep in mind. I found them to be very helpful when I started taking Lexapro.
My psychiatrist told me that I'll probably see results in 2 or 3 weeks. It will take 2 wks for the side effects to go away and by week 4 he said things should be fine. I think you can go as low as you need to on Welbutrin as long as you don't mind cutting the pills. I was given a prescription for 100 mg pills and have to cut those to get my 50 mgs. But, my doc said he had one patient who was taking 37.5 mgs. Go figure.
I'll let you know how it all works out. In the meantime, I hope you start seeing positive results!
