The doctor you currently see is not the doctor that gave you the Lexapro is it? I was't clear on that point. Your new doc would never agree to a case study, I wouldn't think, since he did not prescribe the lexapro and I'm sure doesn't want any part of that situation. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Did you ever get your medical records from the Lexapro doctor? I would do this for what it's worth...just to see what was said, could be very interesting and may not be accurate. Ask your family, the docs, what you should do about this, they should be able to advise you on next steps if you want to pursue a case or write an article,whatever it takes to get your story told.

If you live near a medical center, there may be someone that could write up your case for a journal or something. I'm just grasping at straws here to find ways to tell your story to others...perhaps start with on-line forums where it will be documented for others to be aware of. I tell my Zoloft story alot, becasue it was the beginning of my ability to say ""NO, I won't continue taking it. If I do I will kill myself and I am dead serious about this, trust me on this one." Luckily my pdoc has learned to trust my judgement and is really good about hearing what I say to him and that episode made us much more honest with eachother.

It hasn't cured my depression, by a long shot, that happened in the mid-90's, but who said depression is ever something you can eradicate completely.
