Ok, I cant get ahold of my doc, and Im worried there isn't any advice on the net about it, and maybe some of you know.. Heres the thing, I was on prozac for 2 months then they put me on Lexapro, I've been on it for about a month, also on trilipal(sp?) for about the same, well topamax with the prozac, ok well I dont feel like myself anymore, more like a zombe, I went on the meds due to fighting with dh, and thought maybe I had problems, I have a minor depression I think but I do have some problems with money etc, etc. well I was on the triliptal due to having family history with bi polar, aunt

Hi, I don't know the answer to your question, but there is a special ivillage board, Antidepressant Medications and they answer more specific questions like you asked. Also, you can call your local pharmacy, as that pharmacist might know.

Typically one should NEVER go cold turkey on meds though.

I hope you find the answers you need, take care, Josie.
