What you could do is cut the dose of zoloft in half, and add in half of the dose of lexapro you were on. Do a crossover taper with both, taking several weeks. Gently in tiny steps increase zoloft while at the same time in tiny steps decreas lexapro. Both are easy to cut with a knife. The sizes don't have to be exact.

If you could get some zyprexa or seroquel, that could help big time. Just miniscule doses like 1/2 of a 2.5mg zyprexa tab or half of a 25mg seroquel tab could bring on some nice peace, and at the same time boost the effectiveness of the antidepressant and speed up its response time.

The main reason I stopped lexapro is because it actually created a depression of its own. I could feel the lexapro induced depression fade every day about 12 hours after I took my dose. Took me a while to figure it out. I thought it was my regular depression, but it was actually lexapro induced depression on top of my regular depression. I'm liking zoloft so far...but I take it with 2.5mg zyprexa which changes the whole picture significantly. All antidepressants take on a completely different character when they have a little bit of an antipsychotic in the background.
