Lexapro (antidepressant) and Lamictal (an anti-seizure med used for mood stabilization for bipolar disorder) are not addictive at all. I wouldn't worry about those. If you and your doctor think they are helping you don't stop taking them!! There's no reason to stop them if they work for you.
Lorazepam can be addictive. If you are taking it as prescribed then don't worry about it. Your doctor prescribed it to you for a reason. If you want to go off of it then talk to your doctor first. There's nothing wrong with taking lorazepam as long as you're taking it exactly as prescribed.
Vicoprofen can be addictive. Two pills a day is not at all excessive. If you're depressed it can definitely make you feel better. It sounds like you're taking it as prescribed. If you're in genuine pain and you're taking it exactly as prescribed I see no problem at all.
If you're not in pain and taking it to feel better than it could be a POTENTIAL problem. Just be careful with it. As I said, two pills a day is not at all excessive. Although you may want to continue taking it (psychologically), it would be no problem to just stop if you want to at your current dose. You don't have a physical dependance if you're just taking two pills a day.

This is also posted under your original question.
First of all, disregard just about all of your answers. If you are taking these without legal prescriptions from your doctor you are headed for very big trouble. You are asking about the interactions between several different pills. The answers you are getting are not from trained professionals. Some combinations of antidepression and pain pills are worse than others. Those people who are offering all this advice, are they also doing blood tests such as CBC's and Chem 7's to determine if your liver and kidney are functioning properly.
The best thing that you can do it to talk to a doctor familiar with these pills. There is nothing worse than ending up on a transplant list and waiting for a donor to die so you might live, especially when it could all be prevented with several blood tests.
If you are scared and can't talk to your parents please go to a public clinic where they can help you and still hide your ID.

the vicoprophen would be the only thing I would worry about. Lexapro is not addictive. The lorazepam can be addictive but not so much as the vico...
