Hello again! Well, unfortunately my efforts to discontinue anti-depressants did not work out so well. I was able to stay drug-free for about a month before the depression and nagging anxiety came back full force, so I decided to go back to medication. This time, I'm using Lexapro instead of Cymbalta (which I was taking right before discontinuing meds). I think that SSRI's tend to work a little bit better for me than SNRI's. I was on Celexa for many years with positive results other than some cognitive fogginess and fatigue. So anyway, I'm giving Lexaro a shot. It seems to be working quite well for my mood, but I've been having this persistent NAUSEA since starting it that is driving me nuts. I don't ever remember having this side effect with Celexa, or Cymbalta for that matter. So I don't understand why the Lexapro would do it. I also notice that my tolerance for alcohol is severely decreased and that I get quite a bit of dizziness along with the nausea. I'm only taking 10 mg. a day, which I don't think is very much for Lexapro, is it? I also take it at night, and my nausea is occurring during the daytime hours. Anyway, does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been using the drug for approximately 10 days now. I really hope this goes away--it's really putting a damper on things! Thanks for any info/advice.
