I'm glad that you have found relief with the Lexapro. And, it sounds like you have thought of some good strategies, just in case you need to augment. I have heard that Nortriptyline can be a good addition to an SSRI. I tried it briefly with Celexa, but stopped because it made my heart race.
I hope the Lexapro keeps working for you! Take care. Like you, I am counting the days until we get an extra 2-minutes of daylight with each passing day. Won't be long!

> People have been helpful here with suggestions that I might try naltrexine to reverse SSRI meltdown or Nortriptyline in combination with the Lexapro. I am trying to strategize while I am in good shape. I will be grateful for any other possible suggestions. The Lexapro works so well for me.
