In reply to Opinions please - Lexapro to Prozac, posted by deepdarkhole on July 27, 2004, at 10:18:31
> I have been on lexapro for 4 months now for anxiety. Although I feel slightly better I am now dealing with MAJOR depression. Long story short...I have tried celexa, remeron, wellbutrin, zoloft, paxil, buspar...I couldn't tolerate the side effects. Lexapro is the first med I could seem to tolerate, but it is not having the desired effect.
> Anyway I feel a little better and have no desire to go back to where I was. However I wish to feel "normal" again. My pdoc suggested I switch to prozac. I AM SO SCARED!!! I hate trying new meds.
> What do you guys think? Has anyone else gone through this?HI,
-try prozac as a last SSRIs for you (it was the best SSRI for me,and I've tried them all)...
but if nothing improves,I think you should consider aTCA with potent NE effects,because they are excellent drugs
(imipramine,nortriptyline,amitriptyline,maprotiline,clomipramine)..imipramine is the middle of the road one in terms of benifcial effects(potent NE+5HT) and side effects,and it helped me go through one of my darkest depression.
