Will Anafranil, Lexapro, and Clonazepam combined help my anxiety/ocd/depression?
I was prescribed all three of these for my depression, anxiety, and ocd. I have been taking clonazepam for nearly 10 years, but this is my first time taking Lexapro and Anafranil. I was taking Celexa, which I was on for 4 years, but it wasn't working, so my psychiatrist switched it to Lexapro and added Anafranil for my ocd which keeps getting worse. I just took Lexapro for the first time about 2 hours ago (I know anti-depressants need a few weeks to start working) and an Anafranil (I'm supposed to take two at a time, but I only took one to see about allergies or side effects) about an hour ago. I took a clonazepam this morning (I'm supposed to take 3 a day at 2mg per pill, but I personally feel that's too much). Does anyone else have any experience with this combination of drugs? If so, does it help? Will the Lexapro possibly work better than the Celexa? Does Anafranil do anything at all? As I said, I JUST took one, so I feel nothing at the moment. Should I actually start taking all 3 clonazepam doses per day as prescribed or should I go with my gut that that's too much benzo at one time?

I don't know about the other two medications, I was on Lexapro for anxiety and depression - and it did a very good job of helping it.
With therapy, the anxiety and depression are gone - and I no longer need the Lexapro.
Best of luck to you!
Source(s): Several years ago I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and was put on antidepressants and got therapy for it. Since then I've been able to get off the antidepressants and feel much better.
