In reply to Scott/Anyone? Major Depr. Episode - Lexapro?, posted by corafree on January 8, 2007, at 19:56:40
Is anxiety a problem?
Have you tried Zoloft or Wellbutrin?
I know someone doing wonderfully with a combination of Lexapro 20mg + Wellbutrin 300mg. She did not respond adequately to either drug alone, and the Lexapro has helped her more than Effexor.
Is there any family history of depression or bipolar disorder?
I would consider proceeding with Lexapro, adding Wellbutrin if you are not experiencing an adequate response to Lexapro, and try adding Lamictal to the Wellbutrin if necessary.
Someone here is trying an unusual combination of Wellbutrin + Remeron. I am anxious to see how he does with it. Remeron is often given in combination with SRI drugs as an augmentor. If you are responding partially to Lexapro, and the Wellbutrin route proves ineffective, you might want to try adding Remeron before giving up on the Lexapro.
Let's see what happens - one step at a time.
