Thanks for your great responses . I really do not know why drugs stop working for me , and why a drug that was working great stops working after a gap of a few months .
What is the typical time period you should give to a drug before going off it. I am on Lexapro for nearly a couple of months now at 40 mg, and yet the benefits are not much. On the other hand, without it, I would probably be much worse off.
Can it happen that if you go back to a drug which pooped out after a long gap ( several years ), it starts working again ? I was thinking of Prozac which stopped working nearly 6 years back when I stopped it. Or do you think I should stick to lexapro. I do need something to control the anxiety spurts though , maybe a benzo.
