Questions about lexapro or any ssri

Hey all!

So I have a few questions and maybe you can helps answer.

1) is it ok to take any vitamin while on an antidepressant?
2) is coffee recommended?
3) I saw my doc last week and he wants me to stay on lexapro until the end of September, is 3 months enough? I feel that the med has helped me a little quicker this time around and my doctor said that was great.

Hey Wes!

Thank you for your reply.

I drink coffee occasionally but haven't lately since I started lex.
And I was just asking if three months was enough because my doctor only wants me on this short term and doesn't feel the need for me to stay on it long. I only deal with situational anxiety. I was going through a divorce and I was so stressed but things have def improved.

Wes,

Haha I kinda understood the whole decaf thing.

I have klonopin as well but never use it. The only time I've needed to use it was when I would start the lexapro since my anxiety would increase. Besides that I've never had to use it.

Hmm I know. I'm thinking of scheduling an apt with a psychiatrist just to get their opinion. My doctor doesn't feel the need for me to be on this med long term since he says my anxiety is very minor. He likes for me to be on it so I can get through the stressful situation then to wean myself off. And thankfully I've never had to raise my dosage. I take .5mg of lex and has always been the perfect therapeutic dose.

Have you ever tried lexapro?
