I'm on 20 mg of Lexapro along with Wellbutrin and Abilify. I mentioned at my last visit that the Lexapro has taken away all sexual feelings and my P doc said to decrease it to 10 mg. I tried that and on day 8 I started feeling anxious, sad and restless so I upped again.

My next appointment isn't for 3 months.

He played it off like sex wasn't a big deal as long as I'm happy but it is a big deal.

Should I call back and demand to be seen before then?

What alternatives are there that work for both anxiety and depression? I've tried these and they didn't work for one reason or another: Zoloft, Prozac, Cymbalta, Effexor XR.

I actually LOVED the Effexor for my depression and energy levels but it actuall increased my anxiety

ETA: I was on Prozac 40 mg with Wellbutrin and it seemed like the Prozac had stopped working so P doc changed it to Lexapro and then added the Abilify. Is it possible the Prozac would work better now that I'm taking abilify? Is it possible he could have increased the dose of the Prozac?
