Answer

Hi Rae99,

I know you posted this awhile ago, but I was wondering if you had any updates to provide. Many community members have posted similar questions.

It is safe to take this combination as long as you are under a doctor’s care. The dosages are the most important aspect of medication. Never mess with what your doctor prescribes. Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and Xanax are all separate “families” of medications that address depression and anxiety; this is one reason it is safe to take them in combination.
