Lexapro/Ritalin and Focalin

I am 31, Female. Put on Focalin XR and Ritalin. A while back my ADHD was misdiagnosed as depression and I was prescribed Lexapro 20 mgs. While I was just on the Lexapro my Depression did get better however the other ADHD symptoms were still present. Now that I am on the correct meds for my ADHD the Lexapro withdrawals are so annoying. I have the worse brain sagging headache ALL Day long. I have only gone from 20 mgs to 15mgs for 3 days and its terrible. I almost want to just keep taking the LEX. WHEN WHILL THIS END?

Why can't you stay on the lexapro?  ADHD meds do not often help depression symptoms.  The Focalin and the lexapro should be a good combo. Is there a reason your doc is taking away the Lexapro?
