> Does this hold true for Lexapro? I'd like to augment my Lexapro with Anafranil.Like I said above, you can use full therapeutic dosages of Anafranil with Celexa and Lexapro. Celexa and Lexapro are not inhibitors of 2D6. However, if you believe that Paxil or Prozac would be more effective, you can still add Anafranil. You would just need to reduce the dosage by 50%.
