Scott, you are so persistent with your confidence in trying different medications. I'm wary, having experienced only a few shattering let downs.
During my move across the continent I went immediately into benzo withdrawal. I'd neglected to fill my scrip from my Florida doctor for the last time. I developed - as expected - loss of large motor function, the ability to concentrate or communicate effectively, to sleep....the usual misery. With a country to cross. I was so very fortunate to have a friend making the journey with me, able to navigate, drive, and take care of me. It was my first serious suicide attempt.
Most recently, I was cross tapered onto Brintilex from Lexapro, again with disastrous results. Suicidal ideation landed me in the ER for a circus of a day, when mental health services evaluated me and decided the best option was to train me for peer to peer support through NAMI. (Shaking my head.) once again, close friends helped me through a difficult time.
I'm feeling pretty stuck, personally. The odyssey of my divorce started in August 2014 is ongoing. None of the assets I'm legally due have been transferred. A misguided (on my part) relationship has dumped me, a blessing in disguise. Fully on my own, my isolation has lead me to having few friends.
I'll be OK. It is taking longer than I thought.
