Lexaprol

[tooter212]

I tried to take a nap and the most God awful despair came over me every time  I almost drop off. That's being happening a lot. It happens during the day while I'm up as well. My sister-in-law just called and said she took Lexaprol and it worked REALLY well for her. Has anyone tried it?

How long did you take it? SSRI build in your system and it takes 8 weeks for the full effect.

I tried cymalta and it made me have suicidal thoughts too, That's one reason I don't care if I go too the dr or not. Right now I just don't care

Lexapro was bad for me,Tooter. I can't take many either. Most of these type of medications turn around and give me unbelievable Depression! A way deeper type than the mood I was trying to correct.
I can tolerate Wellbutrin & I take 100 mg pr day. It doesn't help like a magic wand, but it won't make me more depressed.
  I know you suffer pain.  I also take Cymbalta. The ads say it helps pain. It's non narcotic. My copayment is high though. I take it for depression & pain 60 mg pr day.  Maxy Pamela

I have been on Lexapro (ad just about every other anti depressant over the years for anxiety. None of them worked for me. I am a weirdo though and for some reason the SSRIs just don't do anything to me. I have known a lot of people that have benefited from Lexapro. It's so tricky with the psych meds. It takes weeks for them to actually start working and different meds affect people in such dramatically different ways. I would be sure to discuss this with your doctor and see what they think. You may just have to be patient and go through a trial and error system of seeing what works best for you. I really hope you can find some relief soon. Have you done any therapy? I finally gave up on the meds and did cognitive/behavioral therapy for my anxiety. It helped me more than any med ever did. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Tooter and hope that something gives very soon and you start to feel good.
