| I am prescribed to Lexapro and Xanax. This is the final solution in what seems to be a horrible struggle against fear, anxiety and panic attacks. I have been on Effexor for almost a decade, and believe me when I say that withdrawal effects were like hell. I did try to get of it somehow, with the full support from my family. I thought all was ok, until the anxiety came and I couldnt even get out from the house. Anyway, Im on meds again, and I would like to know about this current combination, is it any good? |

| I must point out that even though, all these medications you have mentioned, and almost all other, have their basic effect, how will they actually affect the patient, depends on the patient himself. This especially goes for all those drugs that affect the brain chemistry, so sometimes side effects will occur, while in some patients wont. Also, sometimes the meds can only make the situation worse then before. As for Lexapro and Xanax, patients who use those, should be constantly watched for respiratory and CNS depression. Dizziness, confusion and similar conditions should be expected. |
