Hi,
I will be seeing my pdoc Tuesday and I really want ot make this visit count.
Mainly I tell him how I have been feeling and he just re-fills my medication. And he ask if I have been experiencing any side effects, etc.
Well I take Lexapro 60mg, Klonopin 4mg, and Remeron 30mg.
My dx is major OCD (mainly unwanted thoughts), major Depression, and Panic Disorder.
I know the Klonopin does wonders for the anxiety. And the Remeron helps with my sleep. But I don't think the Lexapro does anything. I have been on this combonation for about two years.
The OCD thoughts are ruining my life and making my depression unbarable.
I have been going through this for a little over five years now and have tried many different meds.
If I suggest a change in my SSRI, which one is the best for OCD symptoms. I have tried alot such as Paxil, Effexor, etc.
I have read and been told that all SSRI's work about the same. I thought that Lexapro would be the best since it is the newest and supposedly the most powerful. And I hate to go through the long tedious trial of getting off a med and getting another in my system. But something has got to give.
Any comments, Advice, or responses to these questions would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks,
BRC
