Just got put on 10 mg of Lexapro in addition to 60 mg of Celexa (which I lower from 80 mg). I've been on Celexa for years, just recently on 80 mg though. Also on 200 mg of Lamictal. All once per day, in the morning.
I drank last weekend (a tiny amount of alcohol, say a shot glass worth of vodka, max) and sunk into a /killer/ depression -- even perhaps a bit of a mixed episode -- which has subsisted until today. I think the Celexa just might not be working any longer. So my doctor added a bit of Lexapro to the mix. So I am hoping the addition of the Lexapro is enough to bring me out of these down periods (some ups, mainly normal ups, but mostly severe depression).
Anyone have experiences when adding Lexapro to a current Celexa prescription. How soon does the Lexapro's added effect (if any) start to kick in?
TIA,
