In reply to Crossing my fingers!!, posted by Peter on October 9, 2003, at 19:38:45
For me the light went on after 84 days. That doesn't mean I saw no positive effects from the gradual build of Lex in my system. I did have days where the clouds disapated a bit and then settled back in over me. That happens. Like as in "stuff" happens! I started with 20 mg and that always has been the dose I've taken. In hindsite, I wish it was like a commercial: total gratification in 30 seconds. But real life doesn't work that way, no matter what the politicians promise. It took 12 weeks to feel as I do now. Now that it's over I didn't mind the wait. While it was happening....well, that's a different story. I could have easily given up I guess. Three months is a long wait unless you're pregnant. I guess that last three months is a pisser for pregnant women, too. But I would have gotten three months older anyway and I sure would have traded three months of my life to lift that awful cloud bank.
DON'T GIVE UP! I WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT, THE S.E's AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I'm rooting for you and everyone else who climbs this slippery slope.
ONE WORD OF ADVICE HOWEVER: Don't cross your fingers because it makes it almost impossible to pick up those little pills with your fingers crossed.> I posted a new thread yesterday in the general area, and then realized it would be good to also post within the ongoing lex thread.
> Here's the deal:
> Day 34 total lexapro, day 28 on 10mg (I started with 5mg the first 6 days). Everytime I thought it was beginning to kick-in, I'd feel like crap again. I've taken every other SSRI, with varying degrees of success, and also a plethora of other meds and med combos over the last 8 years. I spoke with my pdoc yesterday about the fact that I felt really bad all the time, unable to wake up, sleeping thru my alarm, irrtable and depressed all day, unresponsive to anything or anyone around me, numb and dull, etc. He said that it seemed as if I wasn't responding well to the lex - that it was both activating me (thus the irritability) and 'flattening' my mood (thus the continued depression and apathy). He suggested that I begin to taper the med and that we move toward my trying a med from the only class I haven't yet tried - the MAOIS. I've been considering them for years, and I'm probably a good candidate considering my history. But I am so sick of going from one med cocktail to the next; also, I've come this far already on the lex (and it hasn't been easy), and I've read so much about people feeling NOTHING on 10mg until week 7, 8, or even 9, and then it kicks in and it's well worth the wait. I just don't want to stop prematurely. So I made a resolution last night that I would stick with it another week or two instead of tapering it right now. I also decided that I would put a little more effort in to increase the chances of my responding well to the lex. What I mean by this is the following: I find that a lot of my lack of response has had to do with my
> not 'allowing' the lex to work, so to speak; it's almost as if I've been thinking so pessimistically about the med and SSRI's in general, that I've been psychosomatically hindering its benefits. Today, I felt that my acceptance and resolution to stick with the lex and do what I can do -
> both physically (getting my sleep/wake cycles back on track, exercising) and mentally (not letting my pessimism get the best of me) - seemed to help me benefit more from
> the lex; I just have a feeling that it might be beginning to work (fingers crossed). I awoke with more energy today, and felt better in the afternoon than I have in a long time. Of course, it's not all about my shift in attitude and resolve; the action of the lex itself is helping me to HAVE a more positive, optimistic outlook on my responding well to it. So it might very well be that my own efforts +the therapeutic actions of the lex are beginning to work together to my benefit. I hope this makes sense. Does it? Cause I sort of feel like I'm not making any sense at all! Regardless, I hope my better mood today is the lex kicking in and not just another 'false alarm'! I really would prefer to not go on another 'med-roller-coaster' at this point. And my doc agreed that I stick with the lex another week or two, saying that my more positive outlook and decision to 'allow' the med to work will make me all the more liable to respond well to it. So, of course a positive response to the lex would be mostly due to the pharmacological actions of the drug and the balancing out of the NT's in my brain, but in my case it looks like some of it has to do with my cooperating with the process and doing what I can to allow it to work . All right, now I think I'm just further convoluting what was already pretty convoluted in the first place. Sorry! Is there any sense in what I'm saying?

huh??? I get new post emails to this thread daily....dont you? I havent personally noticed a difference. I, for one, do NOT work for a drug company.
It seems to me that we are all just posting responses as needed. Some times we need each other more than others. Perhaps it is just more stressful for all us during the "work-week" and we need each other more then.....best wishes to all.

In reply to Re: Anyone switched to Lexapro? » Dr. Bob, posted by eebeshy on October 10, 2003, at 15:22:07
> Oops, sorry I'm new at this!!! Hi, I'm taking Lexapro @ 15mg a day (been 3-4 months now) and my Dr. started me on Wellbutrin (100mg) a week ago because although I was still able to get out of bed in the morning to go to work, I was still feeling low all the time all I wanted to do was sleep. Been battling depression now for over 12 years (mental illness runs bigtime in my family). I started feeling better right away, but I've had trouble sleeping at night. I put in a call to my Dr. and he said that low a dosage shouldn't be a problem. Anyone have any suggestions? I also take Klonopin....maybe should I take one right before going to bed? BTW, reading everyone's comments has made me feel better about the whole depression issue. Thanks!
> eebeshyHello,
Many doctors will add or augment Wellbutrin to SSRI's. The added boost from the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine from the Wellbutrin can be helpful if one isn't completely responding to an SSRI, or, as in your case, to counteract daytime somnolence, as well as some other side effects of SSRI's.
I have, unofficially, Borderline Personality Disorder-can be difficult to treat, especially anger outbursts have been a problem for me, as well as still getting depressed while taking SSRI's. I've been taking Lexapro since February of this year. I started out with 5mg daily in morning, and 250mg of carbamazepine(Tegretol, mood stabiliser) for the first month, then increased Lexapro to 5mg twice a day. (I couldn't tolerate 10mg at once on most days-it made me a bit on the anxious side.) After a month of this combination I couldn't take the severe somnelence-I was a walking and napping zombie. So, stopped the carbamazepine, only taking it a week or two before my period starts, since this is when I'm most irritable. After a couple months I reduced down to 5mg daily Lexapro, mainly due to affordability. For me, 5mg daily is just as effective as the twice a day dosage. As of recent, I no longer take Tegretol as it seemed to make the daytime sleepiness even worse, especially 12 or so hours after taking it. I really didn't notice any improvement with it anyway, though was taking a low dose.
Here is where I finally get to the part about my experience with Wellbutrin (I can be long-winded).
A couple of years ago I had been prescribed Wellbutrin SR and took 150mg a day. It made me relaxed, but I was quick to snap at my husband-it was a strange combination-to be relaxed and easily irritated at the same time. I tried increasing to 300mg a day and couldn't handle the "snappiness". That was my month+ experience with Wellbutrin by itself.
In the past couple of months I have been experiencing what I call, false hunger pangs. While eating I would feel hungry, but an uncomfortable hunger. Just recently I stopped drinking real coffee-my stomach said no more. I don't know if it is from the Lexapro, but someone else on this board said they experienced acid reflux after taking Celexa. I have some leftover Wellbutrin SR and for the past few days I've been taking 150mg once in morning, and 5mg Lexapro in mid-afternoon. Wow-what a difference! I thought the Lexapro was helping, but after a few days on the Wellbutrin I feel ten times better-more alert-able to fill out a crossword puzzle within a shorter period of time, do not feel lethargic or tired during the day (just as you mentioned). The best part is that I feel relaxed-a calm feeling-and an added surpise is that my stomach is no longer bothering me. I do know that Wellbutrin can supress the appetite. I no longer am aware of my stomach throughout the day-no more pangs. I've only been on this combination a few days, but I am happy with the results so far. I'm ashamed to admit that I usually drink a glass of homemade wine or beer in the evenings to help calm me, and this isn't good, especially if you are taking any medications. Since I've taken the Wellbutrin I no longer want a glass of wine to relax me in the evenings. I have Ativan (lorazepam) if I need it, but I try to avoid it as my doctor told me the benzos can disrupt sleep cycles-eveningtime was usually when I'd take Ativan-it's effects lasting well into the A.M. hours.
You are on a low dosage of Wellbutrin-make sure you take it as early in the morning as possible. Sometimes the insomnia-effect goes away after you've been on Wellbutrin a while.
I would suggest you ask your doctor about trazodone (Desyrel). It's an older antidepressant that today is more commonly prescribed in a low dose to counteract insomnia caused by stimulating antidepressants. In my opinion, it works better than Ambien (zalpidem)or Sonata (zaleplon), as these only last a few hours, whereas trazodone helps one sleep the night through. Months ago my doctor prescribed 50mg trazodone taken at bedtime-he said it doesn't disrupt sleep cycles. It worked great at helping me sleep, but would cause stuffy nose and dry mouth, enough to keep me awake for the first two hours after taking it. Eventually I found 12.5mg worked fine without side effects. For me, it usually starts to make me sleepy in about thirty minutes to an hour.

I don't think it's a total hoax, but I do think it's flavored.
As far as weekend goes, wouldn't people have more time to write during the weekend because they work during the week (most of them).

I went from 10 to 12.5 after 8 months. Now it is a year and I went to 15. Yes it definitely helps. From my experiences with these drugs that you will reach a level that will last a number of years, it just takes time and adjustment to find that level.

> thanks kristen :) i really have lost hope for side effect improvement, as i have been on the med for 6 months now. in the last month or two, the memory loss thing has really gotten to me. i am tired of it but i do feel a heck of a lot better overall. i guess i have to learn to live with mild altzheimers basically.
Hi dutch<
Do you get enough exercize? My pdoc was telling me about studies that aerobic exercize can help regenerate brain cells. Mine are recovering from years of alcohol use/abuse. The other thing is that I feel much brighter and calmer on the days I get a good walk in or something. Also, as you probably know, depression itself can make one unfocused and unable to concentrate, thus perhaps a memory loss?
I also live with my "redesigned" brain. I have been on Lexapro for 11 months, now up to 20mg with Wellbutrin added at 150mg almost a month ago. I am feeling better now than I have in years and I always hope that people experience good results as I have. It seemes most of the side effects are gone and, like you, I can live with the rest. Best wishes for peace.

Sussus,Thanks for responding back. Sounds like things are getting alot better for you!! Don't you just love revelations? They bring about so much awareness which is huge in healing.
Also, glad that you're now realizing that everything isn't your fault - that both you and your significant other play a part in things. Do you think that you "see" that now because you are starting to heal?
I've been doing okay - actually, I've been feeling quite crazy and emotional lately. Have alot of stress and change in my life right now and there never seems to be enough time to process and get in touch with my feelings, etc. So, I'm starting to up my dose from 10mg to 15mg hoping that will help. 10mg just isn't working like it used to.
Have a 4-day weekend coming up so I'm just hanging on until then. Aaaah, I hope to be able to finally rest!!
Again, I'm really happy that you are feeling better!! It's a process, but keep your eye on the goal.

Hi Arriana -
It's nice to see your posts again. You were so kind when I first posted several weeks ago - that I missed you while you were gone! From what I gathered reading your past posts, you and I started 10 of Lex around the same time. I started on 4th of July - wanted to get back my independence on Independence Day!
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing some poop-out. However, it does seem that yours maybe likely to the new job - dealing with hours you're not used to. Congrats by the way. It takes a special person to be a teacher - let alone a special ed teacher!
I hope you're feeling better soon and your life can bring you comfort. Lord knows we've all got our battles to fight every day and we should find the joy in what we can. Thank goodness for this board which allows us to lean on each other for support.
Take care and you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Scribbler -
I'm going on four months of 10 Lex. I, too, was overwhelmed with the quick effect the Lex had in my system with my very first dose. I just didn't feel quite right. I felt dizzy, nauseas, light-headed, etc. I was pleasantly surprised by day two - that the side effects decreased significantly.
As you read past posts, you will likely see that what you're experiencing has happened to someone else throughout various course of treatement. Unfortunately, since we are all different, our bodies react differently to these meds. If you seem to have extreme side effects, you might want to contact your doctor immediately for his or her take. Otherwise, you will have the support of this board behind you as you struggle. Some days are good - some are not so good. That's what we're all here to share with one another.
Keep us posted Scribbler. Write daily if you feel the need to. We'll be there right along side of you.
Best of luck.

I've never belonged to a group like this before, so your support and encouragement means really a lot to me! I want this to work (Lexapro); I'm so tired of feeling anxious all the time. So I'll hang in there tomorrow with day #2. Thanks, from my heart!
