I would suggest one of the following 2 options:
1) Increase the Lexapro. I personally have been doing very well on 30 mg Lexapro.
2) Try stopping the Lexapro to see how you do without it. But go back on it if your depression returns. Go off of it very gradually over a period of at least 3 weeks. But keep taking the Klonopin. It's possible that you will only need the Klonopin. Also, if you quit both at once and then you feel bad, you won't necessarily know which medication is responsible.
> I was depressed on Lexapro 20 and klonpin 1 mg and I tried to switch to wellbutrin but had an allergic reaction. Now I think, why go on any anti depressant?? I've been on these for 6 years! I think I should just not take them. My life isn't so merry on them anyway. Only thing is getting off the klonpin or can I stay om that without it making me " depressed"
