Hi Lexy -
I think the therapist idea is a good one. He/she can help you figure out if you need to up your dosage. It was very hard for me to figure it out on my own and would have been nice to have an objective party who knows my situation giving me their advice about it.When I upped from 10 to 20, it wasn't bad at all, so don't be afraid of it from that perspective. But, I don't feel "normal" yet. I am much better however. I think it takes longer for some to get happy again. Sometimes it takes acceptance of the "dark side" that depression exposes you to. There were a lot of things that have sort of blown my rose-colored glasses off my face in the past few years and those are the things I think I need to deal with in therapy before I'll feel much better.
I've given in today and called my doctor for sleeping pills. I haven't slept a decent night since I started Lex last October. As much as I hate taking a second drug, nothing else has worked!
Start doing a search for a good therapist. I think it will help you in many ways!!
