I know every anti-depressant i have tried thus far ends up increasing my anxiety...though seems like the one was working ok for you, but being on two stimulating meds(provided lexapro is one) could certainly problematic....either way I'd talk to your doctor about your concerns though.

Lexapro is not stimulating but Wellbutrin certainly is. In combination who knows what effects that may have.
I could not tolerate Wellbutrin as I felt like I was doing lines of Meth Amphetamine all day. Given my history you would think I would have liked that but it was to much. Even though I was a meth head at one time years ago i do not like that feeling anymore. Increased energy is great but not wired out of my mind.
