It seems hopeless, and I have tried most evertyhing in the past 12 years. Am I doomed to be one that slips through the crack and cannot find medication. I hate to go back to effexor or tofranil.
> > > Thanks, NeptuneDear Neptune,
I am so sorry you're having such trouble with the meds. I want to tell you that my first couple weeks on Lexapro were miserable, too, I had everything you do except the nausea. I was about as down as down can go. My doc added Wellbutrin for one week to perk me up while the Lexapro and my body got acquainted. This plan totally worked. I'm off Wellbutrin now and have been on Lexapro for a total of one month. I feel fine. I daresay I'm starting to feel really good. So you may just have to hang in there (I know, seems awful). Talk to your doc, see if what worked for me might work for you.I wish you all the best.
