Hello All,
Came back from a new doctor yesterday, whom I explained everything I've posted originally. She was a bit confused as the the reasoning behind Md#2 starting me on Abilify.
After explaining to my newest doctor (Md#3) that I have been unable to tolerate SSRIs I've been prescribed before, she went ahead and is starting me on Lexapro. I am very prone to nausea, concerned about sexual side effects and am adamant about avoiding medication that will cause weight gain. I'm not sure how much of an incentive she had to "push" Lexapro as much as she did, but she was very confident this will help me more than anything I've tried before.
So my Xanax and Abilify will go in the trash. I'm hoping that Lexapro will be my saving grace. I will post more about my experience with this medication.
Again, I thank everyone who gave such wonderful input and all of your kind words of encouragement.
