Laney,
Morgan is probably right--.
I am wondering why Paxil and Lexapro. Have you read about the combo? (I'm not saying anything one way or the other. I feel you have a knowledge of meds from your various trials.)
Your symptoms to treat are, emotional stability (crying spells), increased motivation (which to me implies feeling more pleasure), socialability? Are you
troubled by negative thoughts doubting your self worth or such?No one has mentioned how nortriptyline works. Sounds like avoiding anything like that is a good tack. Have you considered with your doctor snri's like effexor? That might cause anxiety too, but could increase motivation. It can be heck to withdraw from.
I'm rambling. Would you please let us know how it goes tomorrow?
good thoughts your way,
