Lexapro is a good med. but it wasn't right for me. I was on Lexapro for almost 3 months. I started at 5mg to 20mg. The higher doses caused me to have constant diarrhea, feeling extremely spacey and unreal, lack of energy and always sleepy. After 3 months with these symptoms and still not feeling happy or having that clarity that so many others speak of who are on the right AD, I decided to talk with my dr. about something different. How do you like provigil?
God Bless

everything except the extreme fatigue. I want to sleep all the time and can't concentrate. The Dr. gave me Provigil to help but it doesn't- makes me feel weird. I tried Zoloft for about 2 months back in September and don't remember it helping with depression but I don't know- at least it gave me energy and I took no naps. I don't know what to do =(
