hey jim;
I took 10mg for about 4 weeks, then started having insomnia problems, which brought on 20mg of Trazadone. At 7-8 weeks, I started withdrawing from people at work and getting really sad (this is a problem because my life blood is touring). My dr told me that some people have a problem with Lexapro "plateauing" or "pooping out". She upped the doseage to 20mg. Again, after 7-8 weeks, I was having the same problem, but this time I couldn't get off the couch, cried all day and couldn't sleep for four days. We talked about going to 30mg, but thought that the chances of me plateauing again were greater. I'm in the process of switching to Effexor XR. It's been five days and I've had a headache for about 36 hours now, and haven't really slept. Tonight will be my first ambien night, so I'm excited to sleep!
With the switch, I came upon this site as I wanted to do some research on Effexor...and I would be lying if I didn't say I was a bit concerned after hearing some of the reports here. Anyone have a really positive experience with Effexor XR??
