Do you or anyone you know mix prozac and lexapro?
Question:
Answers:
Usually doctors will not prescribe both prozac and lexapro because they do basically the same thing and effect neurotransmitters in the same way. Your psychiatrist may choose to switch your antidepressant or decide to add a mood stabilizer. I suggest that you talk to your doctor about what exactly is going on. Additionally, being on both medications may increase your blood pressure.
Do NOT mix medications that have not been prescribed in that way! It can be very dangerous. Tell your doctor all your symptoms and let them write the right prescription for you.
Self medication is a dangerous road to travel. It is not simply two medications that may or may ot mix, it also has to do with the two medications, yoru history, your problems, allergies, labs, etc.
Call your Doc, talk to him/her, let THEM tell you waht options are available for you.
I would not mix them unless prescribed by your Dr. it could only make it worse.
You shouldn't mix your medication w/o a doctors order. Besides, they both basically do the same thing and if you take them together they can cancel each other out resulting in severe anxiety and/or mood swings.
