Taking xanax to stop anxiety caused by lexapro?
Posted by admin on Feb 6, 2009
I have been prescribed xanax to stop fast heart beats and panic attacks caused by lexapro. I have been advised to stop taking Lexapro and I have been taking it for 2 days. Anybody know when the fast heart beat should stop? And if it is ok to take .25mg xanax 3 times a day.
You should contact your pharmacist/doctor immediately and ask their advice.
Also let someone close to you know what you're taking. Many SSRIs can cause and aggravate depression, especially in younger patients. Have someone you trust keep an eye on you for the first few weeks of your new routine.
Good luck and be well.

Sounds like you are trying to cover up the side effects of one drug, with yet another very strong psych drug. my advice is get off of Lexapro ASAP and only use the xanex for a short time. I believe it is addictive. The longer you believe that you need the stuff, the longer you will surely need it. Just get off them period. Trust me its better in the long run. Smoke weed.

Well I am sure the doctor or pharmacy would not give it to you if you could not take it. I would not stay on either too medication too long.
