A member asked:

I am on remeron and lexapro (escitalopram) for g a d.why do i feel irritable most days.i am taking the meds for the last 9 months.thanks?

Adjustments: This probably means that you need your medication doses adjusted or need to be tried on new medications. Irritability can be from anxiety that is not completely treated. You could also try counseling and increasing your exercise to decrease symptoms. Meditation or yoga may also be helpful.
