I have tried citalopram, but only for like a couple of months. It was prescribed for a transitional period in my life. Since I was on it for such a short time, I can't remember how it was really. It might have helped a little.
I've been continuing to worsen, and have cut my 2.5 mg Lexapro to 1.25 mg daily. If I improve under this, I will contact my doctor and say I want off the Lex. The frequent diarrhea, intrusive violent thoughts, extreme muscle tension, crying spells are all back just like they were 4 years ago - and at that time, lowering the dosage was what fixed it. We will see.
Diagnosis: recurrent melancholic depression
Meds: Lexapro since Spt. 2009; currently on 2.5 mg plus occasional l-tyrosine.
