Hi! 27 y/o F here. About 1.5 yrs ago I was diagnosed with OCD and anxiety. I started 10 mg Lexapro, which I’ve been taking with some success alongside talk therapy. But recently, anxiety and depression have skyrocketed and suicidal thoughts have likewise spiked. I would say the OCD has been adequately managed with the Lexapro and CBT/exposure therapy. I reached out to a new psychiatrist, who suggested adding Zoloft to my concoction because she was unconvinced (based on what I’ve been experiencing symptom-wise) that a higher dose of Lexapro would work. She mentioned a study that found the two to be more effective in combination than an increased dose of either alone. When we finished the session, I tried to google the study and I have found nothing. In fact, I’ve found warnings AGAINST taking the two together. 

Has anyone had any experiences with (or heard of) this combination? I am hopeful but a little reluctant given the information out there concerning serotonin syndrome. 

Thank you in advance for any and all advice/information.
