hi Theo,
> Thanks for the time you took posting. >
you're welcome ... ... what the heck ... it doesn't seem anyone's using the thread much now ... ... so they shouldn't mind, anyway ...
it's my pleasure ...
> I actually took 2.5mg Lex about noon and after a few days will take 5mg to see what happens. At least if the Lex doesn't work for me I know it won't be to difficult for me to just stop taking as it would be with the Paxil, which luckily wasn't too bad but I definitly felt spun for a few days after discontinuing it. I know it's trial and error but that 6 week trial period can seem like forever can't it! >
excellent ... ... and it does seem like eternity waiting for a med to get our system stabilized ... ... but it is a positive that you're expectaions are prepared ... ...
> Although I only took 2.5mg Lex, I can feel the med but no nausea and tiredness at all where as before starting with 10mg I was anxious and nauseated. >
way good !!
> In my research I did find this graph interesting. Look at the effectiveness of Lex at 5mg vs 10mg. 5mg better response than 10mg, then back up when increased to 20mg.
>
> http://images.medscape.com/pi/editorial/cmecircle/2003/2546/images/kent/slide20.gifthis graph is a surprise ... ... implying as it does that 5mg is more effective for SA than 10 mg ... ... thank you for such valuable information ... ... would you share the url for the article it came with please ... thanks
my best idea for you (took me posting this much to come up with a good one!):
post to the main pBabble thread with a subject line like, "Wellbutrin-Lexapro combo users' reports wanted!" ... and then in the post ask for any experiences with well-lex and well-pax combos ...
... the main board won't be so lexapro specific ... and lots more folks will be able to take noitce ... bigger audience = more feedback ...
good luck!
