In reply to Xanax boosts the effect of Lexapro?, posted by chess on March 15, 2005, at 19:44:49
> I know the SSRIs can boost the effect of benzos, but can it work the other way around? I've been taking Lexapro with limited success so far, but when i take Xanax with it i feel better, but i'm not sure if it's the Xanax alone or if the Xanax is boosting the effect of the Lexapro? I'd like to figure it out because if the Xanax is boosting the effect of Lexapro then i'd rather take more Lexapro to feel better rather than keep taking Xanax. Anyone have any experience or info?
Chess,
What are you taking it for? We are on the same combo, I also take xanax but only on an as needed basis. It really helps I think. I am scared to take the xanax on a regular basis because of all the stories you hear about withdrawal. I would like to hear if anyone has taken the same dose of xanax for an extended (years) period of time without becoming addicted.
Best - Steve
