Hi Simus..and once again thank You for your response.I was on Lexapro for 9 weeks...Started out on 5 mgs and around the 5th week I started to feel really bad again,so It was increased to 7 1/2 mgs.at 8th week it was increased to 10 mgs.Which from there was all downhill.I felt better at 7 1/2 mgs but doc said it was all in my head. At this time,My therapist of 12 yrs retired,so I had to find a new one,which is also a licensed nurse practitioner and is able to counsel me as well as do my meds, So i stopped seeing the Doc who told me it was all in my head...Think he needed to be on meds moreso then I do.this past week was my first visit with her and I kept tearing up and from what I told her ,she didnt seem to think that Lexaro was right for me...I did have very good results with the Zoloft for the past 10 yrs till it stopped working about 10 weeks ago ,so she put me back on the Zoloft to see what happens.Possibly to add something with it later on.Apparently 10 mgs was too much for me and 71/2 helped but not quite good enough...I dont know what the answers are,I just try to focus on one day at a time and pray that Its a good day..Your concern and cmpassion here on the boared helps tremmedously..And Im very greatful for that...Take care :)
