> Hello Peoples, Boy! I sure do need you guys today! Today is day 17 (2 1/2 weeks?) I dunno, I can't think straight today. Can't stop crying either. I read the tea web site. Well, what the (heck) is that stuff made from? (I know, I should go to their official site to see what the ingredients are) The depression info was good though, ( I could answer yes to every symptom). I'm trying to hang in with this Lex, it's real tough, but possible thanks to you guys! I'm not sure that A/D's are a good med for me. I've been through paxil,zoloft(the longest,started it in 96,tried to get off in 99 but could not) prozac, doxepin, remeron, trazodone, celexa, effexor and now lexapro. I also have hypothyroidism, so I take synthroid for that. In 2 weeks I'm going to a neuroendocrinologist, I'm fed up wiyh pdocs using me like a dart board to throw prescriptions at. I know my problem lies with hormones (pms) and I feel that I'm spinning my wheels with these A/D's. Thanks for being here... Jackie
Hi Jackie, Im so sorry your having a rough time. Its like your doing what they say to do and your getting screwed. You take med after med and they dont work. I felt this way also!!! I really dont know what to say to make you feel better. I have no idea about that tea link I put up. It looked interesting and had good info. I am going to start saying what I think and dont care who gets pissed off. I go to a lot of boards and dont say what I think. But if your thinking of getting off the lex at least try this. If your side effects are really unbearable try cutting the dose in half for awhile. This may help you try the med longer. Or hang in there at the dose your on. I swear to you a few months I was sucidal and could not stop crying. You can go back and look at my old posts. It was the worst I have ever felt in my life!!!!!! But the lex kicked in and I pray it will for you also. Try as hard as you can to hang in there another 2 or 3 weeks. Also your thyroid can cause depression. Im praying for you Jackie!!! GOD BLESS!!!
