Feeling better after stopping Lexapro

Posted by Justherself54 on May 11, 2007, at 0:35:22

Some feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

I have been diagnosed with BP2, mixed cycling, and have just finished the wash out period from Lexapro (which was very unpleasant). I can't tolerate the side effects of most AD's and they poop out on me, between 6 months to a year.

My pdoc and I were going to discuss going back on Parnate and hope we can control the hypotention problems I had on it before.

But I'm feeling better every day..my energy has increased, I have been able to help take care of my grandbabes for over a week (which would have exhausted me before)..

I'm keeping a watchful eye on the fact I may be cycling into the high range..but I just feel more engaged..my apathy has left and I'm feeling more social..

I don't get it..I was prepared for a plummet, instead I've never felt more like "my old self" in absolute ages.


Right now I'm just taking my nite meds...0.5 clonazapam, 25 mg serequel and 7.5 Zoplicone..

I've battled resistent depression for over 5 years..cannot tolerate mood stabs..

I just dont get it..but I'll certainly enjoy it while it lasts and I'm sure hoping it will..what a joy to feel like myself again..
