I've been on Lexapro for 4+ months now, and all I do is cry all the time. My doc put me on Wellbutrin a few weeks ago, and while it helps with the tiredness and lack of motivation, it doesn't effect my depression. I went to my doc yesterday & told her I wanted back on the Prozac (what I was taking before) because I can't stand feeling this way. She originally took me off Prozac because I was having panic attacks, & she says Prozac is stimulating. The thing is, when I went on a less stimulating SSRI before (Paxil) I felt this way. So I'm thinking I need the 'stimulating' kind for my depression (its always been bad). I think the panic attacks were more related to the things going on in my life than the Prozac (I'd been on it five years and was doing fine). Her answer yesterday was for me to try higher doses of Wellbutrin (300 mg) and Lexapro (30 mg). She did say she would switch me back if the increases don't do the job. If anyone has a similar experience or any advice, let me know.
