I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. Does your doctor know you're cutting and still dismiss what you're telling him? I agree, it sounds like you might be better off finding someone who will take you more seriously and be of more help during critical times. I know that's easier said than done. In the meantime maybe you could ask if there is anything you could take with the lexapro to get through the next few weeks, or to avoid cutting. (I'm not a therapist, but I've heard that some people can avoid cutting by putting ice on those areas.) I hope at least you have someone to talk to, and I'm glad you posted here. I'm really going to try and give the Lexapro a chance. But it's so much more involved for some of us actual people adjusting to medication than it is in theory.
