Hey Colin,
How are things going? Still on the lamactal? I hope it is holding up for you.
My doc wants me on a thearaputic dose of lexapro before he will lower my TCA. I actually didn't take my lexapro dose last night and feel so much better. I see my doc this Friday and we need to talk about how to do this. I may jump to 5 mg and see how that is and just tough it out. I want off the TCA, but man that ssri felt horrible. Not as spaced out as remeron, but I did feel like you did (thinking I was goingto say or do something totally out of place). Where the hell does that come from? Lexapro..no s/e, yeah right.
I have two major stresses solved in my life right now, 1)my wife found a job, and 2) that engineering test is over!. So, I dropped down my benzo a bit and started lexapro the next day....probably not the wisest choice. I don't know what benzo withdrawl was so that may have played a part in my feeling so horrible this past weekend. Sometimes our meds give us a tough trade off. One thing I did notice is that the ssri did NOT affect my sex drive, it seemed to improve it.
Not sure where to proceed next, but sometimes I think I should get off the TCA no matter what and just start excercising and see if that holds.
Yes, I am still on the lithium. However it makes me sleepy in the morning so the morning of the test I didn't take it and was more alert. Sometimes I wonder if I need it?? The lithobid is the only type of lithium I can tolerate.
How is excercising going for you? Still biking? Take care
