Update and Bon Voyage to me! :D

Posted by merpmerp on December 10, 2010, at 12:03:04

Quick update as I leave for vacation on Sunday and will not be able to post for a couple of weeks.

I'm very happy with the 2.5 mg/Lex for now. It's been I think almost 2 weeks since lowering the dose. Motivation has improved and fatigue has decreased. Even though there's some really bad stuff going on in my family right now that's making me cry a lot, I feel that I am not going into the dark pit of depression. I feel really bad and cry about it for a while, then my brain gets bored thinking about bad stuff and I want to go do something fun for a while. That is how I felt when the Prozac was working well for me several years ago.

However I do feel a daily shift in my moods as the Lex builds up in and then is metabolized out of my body. This is not so great. I may shift to taking it at night so that I sleep through some of that. Only concern is I'm afraid I may forget to take it as my morning routine is pretty set in stone but my night routine is a little scattered.

Talk to you all in 2011!


Diagnosis: recurrent melancholic depression

Meds: Lexapro since Sept. 2009
