Happy Easter to all of you! I have taken Celexa,Wellbutrin,Lexapro,Pristiq.Paxil,Cymbalta in the last 22 months.Paxil worked for 9 months so it had the longest lasting affect.The AD that worked the best was Cymbalta but it was the hardest to get on and off,also constipation and could not sleep more than 2-3 hours per night.After 3 months my doc here, in Florida said that s enough and gave me a 3 week sample of Fetzima to try out.I told him that Fetzima was in the same family as Cymbalta and Pristiq so why should it work?He said it might so i said we may also have a blizzard here in Florida!!!! Anyways,i have the samples and i will not use them but after checking the tryouts with different meds i became aware that i had taken Lexapro for only 10 days before telling my doc in Canada that i felt nothing so we went to Celexa( which worked for 5 months).I asked the doc here in Florida if i could try Lexapro again and he agreed.I have been on Lexapro for 18 days and i do not feel it kicking in.I know my body and with the meds that did work i could feel a small positive affect after 4-6 days.I am taking 20 mg of Lexapro per day and i wonder if i added on 10 mg of Paxil(i have some left over) if this could help me.I am leaving to drive back to Canada on the 15 of April and i have an appointment with my doc (GP) on April 23.I will also be able to see a psychiatrist in May and they are supposed to know more about the AD meds.I think that i will need a combination of meds to get my life back to normal.Until that time to any of you think that mixing the Lexapro with Paxil could help ?
