Add Wellbutrin

It's not contraindicated, but it's possible the Lexapro is the culprit for your tiredness. You should get your CBC checked at the doctor.

Yes, it’s fine. My daughter takes them both and is under supervision from numerous doctors

I agree with this. Get a simple blood test before starting iron pills. "just from Target" has nothing to do with it.

I'd get a CBC done to check iron and other levels, but yes, if you need iron supplements, it's fine to take both medicatiosn.

I take both.
Still would check with doc too see if you're still anemic.

They're just ones I bought at Target.

I am on lexapro (15mg) for depression and anxiety. It's helping, but I still feel tired all the time even after 8+ hours of sleep. I was diagnosed with anemia several years ago before becoming depressed and anxious, took iron pills, then just kind of stopped and haven't used them since at least a year before starting lexapro.

So, is it ok to take the two together?
