> Hi, I had the same tiredness with lex but liked that I didn't feel like I was pmsing all the tines and snapping off at people. I aked the doc to up my mg because I had felt so good the first couple of weeks then went to the tired feeling. He added Wellbutrin instead and that has really helped alot. Only been on lex for 6 weeks and
1 1/2 of that with the Wellbutrin. I hope I can continue with the combo with out any trouble...I feel like 1000 pounds has been lifted off my shoulders!!


Hi Kathryn - I increased to 20 mg from 10 mg about 6 weeks ago and I am much sleepier - but no other major s/e's! My doctor told me to take it at night & see if that helps. I've gradually changed my time later and later each day over the past week. I took it at 9pm last night and only felt sleepy til about 11am this morning. I'm going to back it up to 7pm. That seemed to work best a couple days ago. I was tired enough at night, but not too groggy through the morning.

But, being only at 6 weeks on the new dose, I'm hoping there's still a chance this s/e will go away eventually.

> I'm very glad to hear your panic attacks are diminishing, but I understand the flat feeling - I'm used to being very emotional so it seems even more a departure from my normal comfort zone within my personality. That has gone away almost completely at this point and, as someone else reported, I actually cried the other day - not in a bad PMS-y way, but real tears for real reasons - I hadn't done that since I've been on Lex!
