This is the third time I've tried Lexapro and I get sick every time I try an SSRI. So far Zoloft has done this to me, so has Effexor, Wellbutrin, and Paxil.
I'm only on 2.5mg for about 10 days now and have the flu like symptoms x 3 days now. It's not a coincidence and I never get sick normally. What is up with this ???????????
Secondly, my pdoc says I'm treatment resistant, but said lets try an antipsychotic for your anxiety, so you gave me ABILIFY and told me to break the tablet in half to take 2.5mg. I'm scared to death to take this drug as I don't want to get delirius. Please give me some advice on this too.......... Feel like crap over here and tired of this.
I've been out of work since March because of my extreme anxiety. I'm a Registered Nurse and worked for 15 years in ER's and Shock Trauma. Nothing phased me and I was fearless as a kid. My brother passed away from lung cancer in December of 2006 and thats when all this started.. He was just 39 y.o, and me 38. He was my best friend in the world and my mentor and confidant. It crushed my world, but I need to move on . I have a wife and two kids ages 5 and 7.
Desperate for help.......................
