What Causes Lethargy While On Lexapro Along With Effexor?

I have been on max dose of Effexor for several years. I recently began to feel depressivesymptoms so my MD added Lexapro. I haven t noticed any change in depression, but I am less anxious, but feel my judgment has become reckless and I have become lazy and lackadaisical, to the point of missing work. I feel I just don t care and almost bullet proof. My significant other has noticed some irritability that I don t notice. I think this may be a dangerous combo.YYYY@YYYY
