I've been on 10mg Lex since Dec. 6. I initially felt really, really good on it other than the initial startup anxiety I had for about two weeks, but the past week has been terrible for me. I have been crying over trivial things, irritable and short-tempered.
I just don't know if I should keep taking it. I've been on Zoloft, Effexor, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin and now Lex for recurrent MDD. Where do I go from here for a treatment for depression?
My anxiety is under control with Klonopin and doxepin, and GREAT NEWS - Neurontin is actually working quite nicely for my nerve pain.
I got a job offer yesterday, a job that found ME unbelievably, even though I've been looking since Oct. 04. This job could be perfect for me and I was elated for a whole day, even went out and celebrated (had a couple of adult beverages), and then I felt down and out and just plain miserable all day today. My eyes are swollen from all the crying. What is up with me?
I thought that once I was feeling better physically, I would feel great mentally, and it just isn't happening.
