Hi Mystic - I went to my dr. on Friday. I told him how foggy/tired I am and also about the weight gain. He is switching me to Wellbutrin which is supposed to be more "activating" & should help on both counts.
I'm taking 10mg of Lex every other day then every 3rd day for the next 10 days, while starting the Wellbutrin at about day 7 of this withdrawal period. I'm having some reactions to the lower dose in that I cried and yelled and fought with my husband a bit over the weekend - Yuck!! Like my old self! It makes me remember why I need to be on meds right now - ha!
Anyway, let me know what your doc says. I'm a little nervous about switching meds, but also eager to get rid of the fatigue because it's effecting my job and my safety (so tired when driving!!). I also had blood work done to be sure it's not anything else.
I hope you can find a good solution Mystic, you deserve to start feeling some improvement!!

Hey Everyone...Went to the drs yesterday and she is going to check with another dr about maybe switching to something else also..I hate to do that being med phobic and all but the lex just doesnt seem to be helping although it is only a week sunday that I have increased to 17.5 but my memory is horrible and that might go away but feel the weight starting to creep up also...Not sure of what they will do but will be interested to see how it goes.. .My dr is going to call on monday or tuesday and tell me what to do ..for now still taking the lex and hoping some miracle happens and I am fine by then but she was thinking of me going to go see a psychiatrist but with my experience they always want you to be on so many different meds or over medicate ...We will see..Hope you all have a great weekend...Your friend Mystic
