Hi Lexy and Mrs. C,
At first I was very apprehensive about increasing my lex dose, but now I'm glad I did because the results have been quite positive. My mood has lifted and my anxiety has been reduced considerably.
I'm on day 2 of week 9. For the last 2 1/2 weeks I've been on 15 mg. My attitude has been much more positive, I feel motived and I'm laughing again. It has been a very gradual transformation and I still have my bad days, but they're much more tolerable than they were in the past.
Lexy, finding a good therapist can do wonders. I encourage you to get recommendations from co-workers and friends so you can find someone you're comfortable with. Also, I admire that you're waiting until week 10 before you increase. It's a frustrating battle, but you're closer to winning than you think.
Mrs. C, I hope you begin feeling better soon. I encourage you to speak with your pdoc about increasing. Just adding 5 mg to my lex dose has been very helpful.
K.
