Edna,
I am so sorry you have been having a bad time of it. And, I was particularly saddened to hear that your daughter was injured by your dog. I do hope she is healing and there will not be any permanent scars. I am also sorry to hear that you will have to give up your dog. But in a situation such as this, it is better to err on the side of caution, no matter how emotional the decision is. I have a dog, and would be heartbroken if she ever bit a human, particularly a child. You are doing the right thing in this situation. You will probably shed a few tears, but that is normal and should not be avoided. An AD does not shelter us from life's ups and downs, but rather help us cope a little better. You should allow yourself to feel the emotions.
I'm sorry that I can't help you with your Lexapro poop-out question. I have never used Lexapro (it is not available in Canada yet). I hope your return to Celexa proves beneficial to you.
Good luck, and take good care.
Tamara

> It's the first day of 30mgs Celexa, but my question concerns lexapro. I know some of you have written in the past about lexapro poop-out when it just stops working as well, and I'd like to hear your stories again because it wasn't working as well at the end there. At least, I think it wasn't--I've had a bad few days. Saturday one of my dogs bit my daughter in the cheek, so we are probably going to have to find him a new home. My husband went ballistic, scruffed him and tossed him into his crate rather roughly, which was extremely upsetting--but that IS our daughter. We cried all day Sunday.

With my teaching load and with mostly freshman students, it's hard to carve out the time or conserve the energy to work on my scholarship. And it's midterm, and we're going to the in-laws for the weekend (it's fall break, or should I say fall-behind break?).

Hey Edna, sorry to hear about your poop-out. I have been on 20mgs now for awhile (not sure how long) and it's been working really well. I was on 10mgs for about five months before it pooped out on me. Once I went up to 20 I go immediate relief. My lex also seems to poop out sometimes during my time of the month.
You are going through alot right now and it just may seem that your med is not working. They aren't wonder drugs, life is still bound to get us down from time to time. It's our coping methods that they help change, I think.
My dog has also bitten a few people including myself, my hubby and my daughter. Just on the hand though and because we took something from him that he didn't want to give up. He warned us first with lots of growling but we didn't listen. We worked with the vet on some behavior techniques that have really worked and there has not been a problem getting things from him since. I don't know the situation or why your dog bit your daughter but there may be hope for him.
I sympathize with your life right now and I will be praying for you and your family. Mrs. C

Hi,
I too experienced poop-out on the following SSRI's: paxil, celexa, lexapro, and most recently zoloft. I was up to 60mg/day of lexapro when I threw in the towel. Basically, all of the SSRI's have treated me the same with very few variations in side effects. I have been taking them for depression and social anxiety disorder, augmenting along the way with Buspar, Ativan, and Xanax.
My opinion is that SSRI's suck for me, although my mother and father have a good history of success with zoloft and lexapro respectively. IMHO, Celexa is no different that Lexapro.

I haven't experienced a poop out, but I have experienced a complete lack of sex drive. I was on Celexa for 3 years, with minimal sexual side effects. A year ago my doc suggested switching to Lexapro because of the "split" and lack of "side effects." Well, crap. I can honestly say Lexapro made it much much worse. My relationship is kinda on the line at this point. Anyone else have this awful experience?
Tomorrow I start supplementing with 150 mg of Wellbutrin. So I'll see how that goes for a month. I'm also switching back to Celexa, but can't afford it for another few weeks.
Thanks!

Dear all,
Just an update because I like to be in the know, and I'd like to hear from the others who have switched back to Celexa who have been following this thread. I am nearing week three of Celexa switchback, and I have had few minor side effects--headaches, a bit of nausea, some minimal sadness due to my limited position with the university. But the benefits have been greater than the negative side effects: I have been more focused, less tired in the middle of the day, less forgetful, and have been able to accomplish more because of these effects. As for the sadness about the job, I think I may be at a place where I could move to another university with a better position BUT away from my family. I believe I have lost a bit of the belly puffiness as well--but I am going to do the fat flush diet for two weeks when my supplements arrive. At any rate, keep me posted about your lives and your switches. And even though one posted pointed that lexapro and celexa are the same except for an isomer, all I can say is that maybe I need that isomer for something!
Good luck and Godspeed,
Edna Q Babish

Edna,
Glad to hear that the Celexa is helping you, and that you are seeing positive effects. I have not been so lucky and it has been just under 8 weeks. I think it is time for me to throw in the towel on this one. But, I continue to have faith that I will find the right med. Wishing you well. Take care.

Honestly, there are thousands of brain proteins that suspected targets of endogenous bodily chemicals and synthetic drugs that no one has discovered yet. Wanna bet at least a few are involved in the pathology of mood disorders? Who knows, maybe that 'inactive' isomer interacts with one of those unknown systems to bring about an anti-depressant effect. Remember, neuropsychopharmacology is not yet an exact science in terms of application of drugs, so the best way to know if a drug works or not is through your individual evaluation of it.
Good luck Celexers and Lexers!

I used to post a lot here last year when I started lexapro. You can search my name and there is probably a 1000 posts of mine. I post on other boards and have even made a website. Its about me and has links about everything you ever wanted to know about depression and anxiety. I dont get paid or anything like that. Its all free and is just good info for new people that post on boards that I post at. Not sure but I believe I have been on lexapro for about 17 months. I tried 2 other meds and lets just say that didnt work to well. In a lot of ways lexapro was my last shot. Yea I was very desperate and very close to doing something. I was suffering depression that I will describe as HELL!!! The worst thing I have ever felt in my life. I also had panic disorder and spent many nights in the ER. I had all the symptoms!!!! Poop out has been discussed on this board and many others. Does it really exist once you find a med that works? I dunno!!! My own experience is this. I have thought maybe 3 or 4 times my med was not working anymore. Each time I was wrong and it was just something that was going on in my life. Anytime you get the flu or whatever you will instantly think about your med, even though you know you have the flu. The latest thing for me was in January when my dad got sick. Well I happened to be there at the exact time the dr. came in and gave him 6 weeks to live. He died in March and the dr. was pretty close on the 6 weeks. During the 6 weeks I held up pretty well. At the funeral I held up pretty well. I would say a couple of weeks afterwards it just hit me and I got pretty depressed. Blah, I started thinking about my med and totally relapsing. After a week or so I got better and was ok. Sometimes when you have a bad day or even week it doesnt hit you until later. I have found this to be the case with me. Everyone breathing gets depressed at times. Everyone breathing has anxiety at times. Its going to happen even if your med is working!!!! As for me I have been on the same dose for more than a year. I have things in my life that depress me today. My wife is an alcoholic, my dads b-day was oct. 29th. After a life long fear of the dentist I have been there over 20 times since may. Root canals, fillings, extractions, crowns and cosmetic stuff. I figure the 1st of the year it will all be done. I guess I will go for now!!! TAKE CARE!!!

Wayne,
I have been on Lexapro, currently at 30mgs, for 5 months now. Like you, I also was extremely tired especially the first couple of weeks, when I was practically bedridden and the fatigueness lasted at least 6 weeks. However, the fatigueness eventually got less and less.
I have two questions for you.
1. Do you still have your website? and if so, may I have the website address?
2. What dosage are you on currently and are you still taking the Lex at 4PM, because recently, I am beginning to feel my depression creeping back around 3PM to 9PM. I also take 100mg Trazodone at bedtime to help with the Lex induced insomnia. My unipolar depression is mostly caused by chronic low back pain incurred nearly 20 years ago in a traffic accident, for which I take 10 tabs daily of 30mg Tylenol/Codeine. I have been on AD's for 13 years.
Thanks in advance,

>Hi, I take 7.5mg of lexapro and have been there like I said for over a year. After my 1st 2 meds I decided to do my own dosing. I had tried going up in dose many times but I always felt worse. I changed mt dose many times until I settled in at 7.5mg. I DONT RECOMMEND ANYONE CHANGING THEIR DOSE ON THEIR OWN!!!!!!! Also remember I am very sensitive to meds. Yep I still take my med at 4pm. The main reason I started doing that, was because when I took it in the morning it made me tired and at night I had insomnia. Changing times didnt really help with either one at the time. The reason I take it at this time now is because I am not an early riser lol. I have had insomnia since I was a kid. I still dont sleep great but I sleep better than I have my whole life. Here is the link you requested. I hope it is ok with Dr. Bob!!! It has a lot to do with my recovery with lexapro and I dont sell anything. Its just thoughts and info. TAKE CARE!!

In reply to Anyone Combining Lexapro and Lamictal?, posted by Ann1983 on September 12, 2004, at 18:30:26
I just added Lamictal to the Topamax I have been taking for over a year. My depression is pretty severe and my doctor wants me to add Lexapro. I am terrified. The last time I was on an SSRI I was hypomanic and I am so afraid to go back to that. However, I am also afraid of of staying in this depression because it's starting to get a bit dangerous. My doctor seems to think that my hypomania was triggered by the fact that I had to take prednisone for an allergic reaction when I was on Zoloft before and not because of Zoloft. I am so afraid to be awake all night and crazy again. I'm not sure if I should risk it. I tried Wellbutrin but it did nothing for me at all. I don't know. Any suggestions?
> Hi All,
> I am new to this message board. I have been on meds for 1 1/2 years. Tried many combos. Currently taking 10 mg Lexapro in AM and 200 mg Lamictal in evening. Combined with 1 mg Xanax XR. I suffer from GAD, panic attacks and anxiety. My symptons are shortness of breath and sometimes dizzyness or get the feeling like I have a head cold with that light-headedness. Anyway, I am wondering if I should continue taking meds forever or what. I hear withdrawl is terrible. I recently tried to stop Lexapro and became very depressed. That was not one of my original symptoms. Just finished reading the book Your Drug May Be Your Problem by Peter R. Breggin, MD and David Cohen, PhD. Now I am really confused. The book is all about how meds are prescribed freely without the real understanding of the long-term affects. Also, that doctors give everyone a "disease" name like Bi-Polar, etc. And that no one needs meds. I don't think the book is all true, but it does make me question some things. If anyone has similar meds and symptons as I do, please, reply to me. I really don't know what to do next....

You were just going back out on the road again I believe. Maybe your break from work will help you get energized. I hope weaning down the lex helps also.

LONG TIME NO HEAR!!! where have you been??? me i am now off the road and now on ssdi. and medicare. the answers to my prayers keep shining thru.
how have ya been. there has been a big house cleaning here on the lex thread and the social thread. folks got there dander up and left. i have returned to zoloft. the lexapro was making me foggy and wanting to sleep, my T (which i no longer use) addmitted to me that she was over medicating me. and that was that i had old zoloft and weanded off the lex and back on zoloft. iwill still stay in touch if you like. probably on the social thread though!
take care

i still own the truck, and i could if i desired to, drive it, but i want to have a life and go to school. everything is set up for this fall.
glad to hear that lex is doing you well. i reached a point where i was too foggy and she (T) wouldn't adjust it so i did it with out her and then she desided she wanted to get rid of me. and then i think she had a change of heart, but once i cry, which is rare, i am done.
