I was changed from Wellbutrin to Pamelor. I'm at 75mgs of the Pamelor, but had no improvement from depression or anxiety. My Pdoc says to continue with it, but has now prescribed Lexapro AND Ativan to take in addition. He had given me a prescription for Xanax previously, so I asked him if I should then discontinue the Xanax. He stated that I could take a Xanax (1mg) if I had an exceptionally bad and stressful day. I couldn't believe it!! Can this be OK?? I fear I will be near comatose with all this in my system! (Ativan, 1mg, 1-2 a day, and Lexapro,10mg, twice a day, are what he has prescribed!)
Does anyone have any opinions on this? Also, since I still haven't started the Ativan and Lexapro, can anyone please tell me if they have had this combination therapy, and what side effects, if any, they have had? ANY info would be very appreciated. Thanks.
