Are Lexapro And Prozac The Right Medication For Depression?
My 94 yr old mother-in-law suffers from depression, is on Lexapro and Prozac and other meds. She is extremely anxious and today her doctor prescribed .25 mg clonazepam once a day, but he did not tell us when to give it. Knowing how addictive clonazepam is and because she is often wanting a pill, could you tell when we would get the best results. YYYY@YYYY

Hi there.
Lexapro and Prozac are both antidepressants that are being used.
Are these doses optimized?
Clonazepam are indeed addictive like you mentioned, and one should be weary of that. It may help for anxiousness and also sleep when given at night.
When is she the most anxious?
Just keep an eye on oversedation as this may lead to falls.
