Hi,
Have you ever read a PDR or the little inserts the pharmacy includes (sometimes) with your prescription??? I try to NOT read them until I have what I think may be a side effect, then I check it out. I have often wondered about the dozens of possible side effects that are cited and think that probably only one person in a thousand has one. They only list them to CYA.
After reading all the posts at this site, I realize that a lot more than one person will have a peculiar side effect. MY favorite warning for a prescription is for the sleeping pill "Ambien".
Warning...may cause drowsiness. At over $2 a pill, it better cause drowsiness. One day I hope to find a "super pill" that does it all with no side effects for me. Until then, like you I am on the same rollercoaster. You are not alone.

> I was switched three weeks ago from Celexa to Lexapro. Of course, I'm switched every time I go to the dr. Feels like a rollercoaster most of the time. I'm on 10 mg Lexapro, 150 Effexor-XR, 150 trileptal, and either I sleep all the time, or not at all. That's not even counting the Neuronton 4 times a day, and Xanax at night, if I'm awake long enough to take the rest of them. After three years, I'm really tired of this medicine-go-round. I just WISH they could find SOME combination that worked. Still on therapy, but I agree ... the head-nodding and vague reflections on what I say does little to help me find a way to get structure, direction, OR my life back.
