Hi Scott, just jumping in as I noticed this is a Lex thread. I completely relate to what you are saying about knowing this is not in your head, this is not you and you don't want to be "this way" forever. I am in that same boat with you!!!
I've been on Lex for about 7+ months - 10 weeks at 10mg then up to 20mg and now I rotate 10/20mg depending on where I am in my "cycle" (I'm female). I still have crashes - about 1 or 2 per month. But, they only last a few hours now and they get less severe as time goes on.
Here's a thought: Just because you're a male doesn't mean your hormones/body chemistry may not have a cycle to them too. Keep track on a calendar of this crash and any others you may have in the future (I pray you won't have any more!). Maybe you'll see a pattern or find some sort of triggers.
Think positively - attitude matters! It was probably just your body's reaction to the recent stressful times you mentioned. Hang in there and best of luck to you!
~ Lynne
