In reply to Lexapro withdrawal? Zoloft? Panic?, posted by JohnC2 on September 22, 2005, at 10:16:20
Hi, so sorry to hear you're going through all this, been there done it! Lexapro at 10mg helped my anxiety at its worst. Zoloft really made me agitated.
Have you ever tried Wellbutrin + Lexapro, it helped me tremendously. What does your prescribing physician say? I had absolutely no withdrawal symptoms when I came off of Lexapro - it was great. IMHO, I think your Zoloft dose has a lot to do with what you're experiencing, unfortunately.
Maybe the anxiety will settle down once the Zoloft gets into your "system" a bit longer.
You say you've suffered from depression and anxiety off and on for 20 years, have you tried some good therapy? Church? Exercise?I do think you are right on - it does sound med related. I would really ask your prescribing physician about the combo of Lexapro and Wellbutrin, it could be that you just needed a 'boost' that the Lexapro alone could not give you.
Just some thoughts.
Good luck and hang in there.
