I have not checked the board in three days. You guys have been very active and very silly!!!
Lexy, good luck!! You will be missed! To all my other yo-yo's, you all sound wonderful! I have upped my dose to 20 and hope that it does the trick. I have not been in a very good place lately but feel like I am coming out of it now. I have missed reading all of the posts! Mrs. C

Hey Ya'll
I just wanted to say hi! I made it in yesterday afternoon and am sooooo sleepy. We got stuck in a 4 hour traffic jam, 15 miles in 4 hours, needless to say, I am exhausted but glad to be home. I believe my montly friend is going to pay a visit tomorrow so I think that is why my mood has been so bad. Yuck, oh well things will get better and it is really nice to be home. I hope you all are doing well. Sounds like there have been some ups and downs in the past few days but more ups! Mrs. C I really hope you come out of your "bad way" soon. I know how it feels but again, I have come out of it each time too~
Everyone thanks for all the support and well wishing. It is hard for me to believe that I am done with school and kentucky, its still hanging over me, but I know that with time I will get in the swing of things!! I hope everyone is having a great day, I will be checking at laast once a day so do not forget about me!!!!
Lots of Love,
Lexy

Sassy?? did you say SASSY??? My dear, there is NO WORD for what you were last night!! Actually, I am kidding; there are several: "sweet", "kind", "open", "per*SIS*tent", "loveable", "genuine", ["embibed"], and a little "crazy" (just like the rest of us:~).
{LG, if you are reading this post, can you add some more adjectives??}
I actually managed to get 8 hrs in last night:~)
No worries, my pet!

Lexy, so happy that you made it home safely! It must feel so wonderful to be back and finally done with school! I am proud of you. Thanks so much for thinking of me. I do feel better already. I started 20mgs on Tuesday. Hopefully it will do the trick! Sorry that your monthly friend is there to greet your arrival home. Get it over with and enjoy your new life! bye for now. Mrs. C

Hello...Not much going on out there, eh? I had a decent day at school, I didnt cry and I didn't get beat up...Not much motivation for the middle school diet though:) I need to have some anger built up to do anything of worth...
I did reflect some more on my crazy open episode with jylenne and lonely:0 I am a hoot, I know it, at least my inhibitions were in a chat room...:) I hope everyone else had a decent day, only 24 more days of school:)Actually 21, because i am taking three Friday off SLLLAACCKEERRR and a week of testing that the kids usually are pretty good for.

Hey Yo Yos
I did not take my Lex today and do not feel any different than any other day. I am not feeling bad nor good. I am sick of some of this limbo, I know its because I am starting my period but I am just so sick of this, I am so ready just to feel normal. I have a pdoc apt on Monday so hopefully she will have some suggestions. Blah, any support would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and God Bless,
Lexy

lexy, i know how you feel. i just started wellabutrin with my lex and i dont feel great either. we are here for each other and both of us know it will get better. i am so sick of yawning all day. does the lex do that to you? i am almost ready to say the hell with it and quit taking it. i feel like it does not do anything for me. i am just really frusterated and i dont know what to do. sorry this is not very encouraging, but maybe we can help each other get through this slump. write me back.

Lexy, I know exactly how you feel. Been there, every month since starting Lex. I STILL have my period! It's now on it's 10th day! YUCK! I think that lex must really mess with our hormones. All I can say is this will pass and the hormonal fog that you are in will lift soon. I always think of it as being behind a glass window and looking out at my life that is so wonderful but I am inside this room of hormones and can't get out. Eventually it passes, it sucks, but it passes. You know this but it's hard to recognize it when it is happening to you. Just like all of you guys told me during my last "episode". You're doing great and you will continue to do great, next week! Bye for now, Mrs. C

You are on Wellbutrin also, aren't you? I just stopped Lex cold turkey the day I started 150mg Wellbutrin, and really the only side effect/withdrawal I had was insomnia. I am not sure if that was from starting Wellbutrin or stopping Lex. But my doctor knew I had withdrawal problems from other ADs and he still had no problem with me just stopping the Lex (20mg). It was a little rough for just a few days of only a couple hours of sleep a night, but I soon started getting more sleep. I still have some insomnia, but then, I always have. Oh, and make sure you take the Wellbutrin in the morning.
One word of caution if you are going to be on Wellbutrin only, and this came from my family physician, not my pdoc: BE CAREFUL WITH CAFFEINE - coffee, tea, cola, and even chocolate. It magnifies the effect, and it can be very uncomfortable for a while. I tried about 2oz of wine to help me sleep once, and it hit me like 2 glasses of wine. So it could have the same magnifying effect with alcohol.
Am I glad I made the change? YES!!! I used to feel like a zombie, just numb all the time. Now I can actually "feel" again. I haven't felt this good since I started ADs 9 years ago!
Study up on magnesium too. It helps with PMS and it has a calming effect.
I know that everybody is different, but I hope and pray that if this doesn't help you, that you find something else that does.
God bless.

I have been on several ADs, but I have NEVER taken anything that messed with my hormones like LEX.

Simus,
I am acutally just on Lexapro and ended up taking it last night. I swear it is so strange because last month my period was wonderful, very little PMS not PMDD and no crying or hormal rage. This month it is oppisite, I was taking a lot of B vitamins last months so I wonder what difference that made. I am going to the p doc on Monday and am going ask her about it. Its like sometimes I feel I am fighting to hard to be on an antidepressant. Its sucks because I will feel great for a little bit then as soon as the hormones come to town I feel not so good. Yuck, anyway, I am going to start taking some vitimans again and work out to see if that will help! God Bless, so glad Welbutrin works for you, I may be on it soon!!!!
Love ya and God's Blessings
Lexy

Thanks Mrs C,
That is excatly how I feel. A week ago I was feeling the best I had felt so far, really positive thinkikng and pretty happy, now I am back to feeling like everyone is against me and very negitive, it is so upsetting, I am hoping to start soon, it seems like I have PMDD even when my period is late...ughhh I hate the hormonal room!!!!
Love and Blessiings,
Lexy

Bride,
Lord knows I am right there with you. I do not know what to do at this point. I mean, my biggest problem is now that I have had this stupid depression, I have lost a lot of confidence in myself. Everytime I start to feel better I gain confidence and then come crashing down. It is so frusterating. I mean I did not take my stupid pill until late last night and really felt no difference. It just really pisses me off. I was hoping you would tell me that wellbutrin would make it better...haha, well I am going to ask my Pdoc, I have heard a lot of good things about prozac and it also does not make you gain weight, I refuse to gain weight because of this stupid medication. I am 24 years old and feel like it is ridiculous to be wasting time being depressed. Life is waiting for me.
Love and Blessings,
Lexy
