Welcome back, I am glad that you are doing a little better. I hope things keep getting better!! My
is this: After awhile, if you aren't doing as well as you think you should be, don't be afraid to change meds. Each med works in a slightly different way, and one might be better than another. Get some honest imput from someone close to you if possible. I thought my old med was working OK, then just quit. Hubby told me nah, it hadn't been working for awhile, and you hit a big dip. I only really noticed the big dip. A new med, and I am back to 'normal'. So says hubby too.
Lexapro update: Week 3 @10mg. The dreams have tapered off a bit, though last night was another really crazy vivid one. Anorgasmia is a potential side effect,
though since I rarely have a full blown orgasm I really have no opinion on this potential problem. The few times we have had intercourse I think I was thinking too much to really relax enough to enjoy it, so after a few more weeks I'll be better able to comment on this. No other side effects. Whoot!! Met with Doc this week, and we're going to stay here @10mg. Haven't had a menstral cycle since being on this, she said I may have a shallow dip during PMS, but as long as it's transient not to sweat it. I sometimes have some PMS (pre menstral shitties) when I am otherwise feeling peachy so I don't plan on getting too concerned.
Won't update again unless something develops. Good luck to everyone.
