Hi there Under the Weather,
I'm sorry to hear about the nausea you're experiencing. I wonder if those sea bands would help? A friend of mine used them during pregnancy and said they really cut down on the nauseousness.
Re: thyroid - I think depression can be related to thyroid disorders. I read a great book about this several years ago (but can't remember the title). If I think of it I'll post an Amazon link.
I'm on a combination of Adderall, Wellbutrin and 5 mg. of Lexapro. I take the Lexapro pretty late in the evening.
I was on 10 mg. (and went off) about six weeks ago. I found 10 mg. to be high of a dosage and simply couldn't take it in the morning without being zombie-like the rest of the day.
Many people here have done well with Lexapro, which has encouraged me to stay with it this time. Blkvettes, Okopolosi (sp?) and 'lil Jimi are three that come to mind immediately. Maybe you can do a search over the last few months and get a feel for the different side effects and how they have fared with this medication.
This Monday will be the third week mark for me, but considering the other medications I'm taking I might not be the best for comparison.
I hope you start feeling better soon. You'll get a lot of great words of wisdom from the long-term Lexapro (and non-Lexapro users as well) users here on this board.
Best wishes!
Lee
