Do you use biologic together with antidepressant without feeling bad?

I started Lexapro at 5 mg dose. Now at 10 mg for anxiety control.
I may soon find out if your experience happens when I start on Humira
for psoriatic arthritis. My readings led me to discover that autoimmunity
is intricately involved in our mental state as well as joint symptoms.
Are there any other meds you are taking that could cause an interaction?

@seniormed no. I just take the biologic (Ilaris/canakinumab). I fontana use any other medication for my condition. I use CPAD at night for sleep
Apnea level 1 and take slow dose lunesta. No problems at all I am completely functional. The biologic gives me 100% mental clarity. But some months I get burnout 5 days before the next shot. To avoid that the Psychiatrist is helping me with lexapro and I cant continue (had to stop completely). For me SSRIs overlap the great effect of the biologic on my mind. Before I was autoimmune never had problems with taking ssri in general.
