Thanks for your reply. Good to hear someone else is on a high dose of Lexapro. I'm actually doing better on the higher dose, so dumping everything to try Emsam might not be prudent.
My pdoc isn't a big fan of Abilify and I'm concerned about its chance of making my anxiety worse.
No, I haven't tried lithium, but I've definitely thought about it. I worry about the side effects - that's great you don't have any. I worry about getting the hand tremor side effect as I need a steady hand at work. Do you have any tremor problems?
I took Lamictal for about year without success like you.
I know what you mean about being afraid to go off everything just to try an MAOI. The potential of getting really depressed again is scary. I didn't have much success with Effexor, but hopefully you will find it helpful.
