hi Ted,
your Wellbutrin - Lexapro combo is (as you know) beyond my experience and reading ... ... so, honestly, my guesses are pretty worthless ... ... just so long as you know
... ... here's my guesses anyway ...... i'd guess that your intuition is pretty close to right ... i'd want you to stay at a dosage for a week at least for your system to adapt ... ...
... However, it's my suspicion that Wellbutrin has already supported your NTs (dopamine, norepineprine and serotonin) to the point of providing protection, or cushion, or insulation against the initial SSRI SEs ...... but i'm just guessing ... ... your intuition, your internal sensibilities, can be a more accurate guide ... than anything i can offer ...
... so despite my lexapro-only trepidations ...
... ("Always:: start low and go slow!") ...
... i have more confidence in your assessment and feel like you can reasonably up your dose more quickly ... ... ... than i would anyway ...hope this was helpful ...
take care !
