Hi Emily,

I'm staying at 15 mgs of Lexapro and starting with 50 mgs of Wellbutrin. I'll increase my Wellbutrin dose until I figure out what works the best for me.

Don't be too worried. Just because I need to add something to my Lex dose doesn't mean that Lexapro by itself won't work for you. I think I mentioned this before, but Lexapro has been terrific for my depression and anxiety. However, I've always had trouble concentrating so I'm adding the Wellbutrin to see if it will help with that.

Again, let me stress that the Lexapro has really done wonders for my anxiety and depression. It's given me my life back in many ways.

Also, keep in mind that it's not uncommon for people to add medications to what they're already taking. Because everyone is different, they all need a customized "cocktail."

Think of it this way, women don't all wear the same color lipstick because certain colors work better for different people. Some women even have to mix two colors together to get a shade that they like. Medication is the same way in that the same thing doesn't work for everyone, and some people have to combine things to get the best results.

I hope this helps you relax about it a little.

K.
