Hi Everyone,
First post in this forum. I just came back from my doctor (psychiatry). I've been dealing with terrible depression, on top of my anxiety. I just have so much going on, at least for me I do. I'm still not "over" my divorce (he left 1.5 years ago) - I was completely in love with that man (he had affair and left on his own). I got involved w/ alcoholic BF who has been emotionally damaging to me. And, most recently, my Dad has been diagnosed again w/ Cancer. It's just more than I can handle, and I'm on the edge of losing my mind it feels like.

Doctor today suggested, a lot of people have success taking 2, 3 and sometimes 4 anti-depressants! To me, that sounds crazy... but, I was willing to listen to him - he is the doctor. But, doing what I do best.... GOOGLE, and my Anxiety. I've learned this can be very unsafe and lead to serious health risks. So, now I'm afraid to do it.

I'm on Lexapro 20mg anyway. It works, but I'm still.... just overwhelmed, depressed, low self-esteem, I eat and sleep too much, I'm lonely and blah blah blah. It's terrible. I've never dealt with this kind of depression before.

So, he added 10mg of Prozac - and said he might bump it up. I also take 1mg of Klonopin 2x a day PRN. I've been taking them regularly lately, as my anxiety is just through the roof. I only take ONCE a day though, I'm afraid of addiction.

Please share your experience w/ taking multiple meds of the same type. Which combination. Did it work well/better? Did you get side effects? Dangerous ones?
