In fact, she meant that Lexapro was lacking the norepinephrine punch for a bipolar, to get up a zombie from the bed, although i'm fine actually. For me, SSRIs have all been the same (not so good, dulling pills), with the exception of Prozac.

Bye and keep on doing well buddy!Maybe you can ask her about Cymbalta (Duloxetine) which has also a norepinephrine 'punch' like Effexor XR (both are SNRI). I would be interested in hearing what she think of it. It's not in Canada yet, so I cant ask my Pdocs.
See ya
