Hi Ines,
I appreciated your note, It makes me feel a bit better when I read that somebody is going through the same frustrations as me. As many people on this board are. But you've put it so well.
I think I'm going to have to just stick with this 10mg of Lexapro for another six weeks, touch wood the anxiety hasn't been too bad over the last week but the apathy and tiredness is still there. I just hope I don't start feeling really bad again like I did the other day.
I'm not sure that even if I went up to 40mg of Lexapro it would work as the high dose Seroxat had stopped working.
I'd like to give ECT a try but at the moment work at least keeps me distracted (in fact I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't work) and I'd hate to be rendered incapable of even doing that. Doesn't make much difference though because my psychiatrist won't even discuss ECT with me.
Sorry to harp on, I hope you do find something that works eventually. It's good to know that I'm not alone with my frustrations.
I know sometimes I act irrationally and feel like swallowing just about anything in an effort to get better. I even sort of think sometimes, if this doesn't work then I hope I get an adverse reaction to it and it kills me. I probably don't mean that really but I sometimes feel a bit gung ho about it all.
Anyway, thanks again for the response.
Denise
