Oh one more thing, Kitt, Trazadone, never worked for me. I don't know why. I tried to increse the dosage, but still nothing. I don't fall asleep, but I do in the middle of the night, and then I don't...
Hi Larry, Thank you for dropping by and yes, I agree with you, Skitt come out strong and is very kind on this posts. I am so glad for that....
Hi Kitt, Thank you so much for your response. And thanks for sharing your email, I will write to you. First off, I am not pleased with my psychiatrist at all. The last time I met her, I was very...
Hi Kitty, Oh I see... I am on therapy too. And since I am still at the inception, I find I get agitated every time I go and come back. But I find that helping me. I am so glad to know about the...
Well finally I was able to get at my psychiatrist, and I had to insist on new medication for myself as I feel I am getting depressed all over again. So she put me on Wellburtin 150 mg. I am already...
Hope everything will go out well, and sending you good vibes....
Yes, Trina hope this would straighten out for me. Soon. In the meantime I am keeping myself active and doing other things. Thank you so much for being there for me. I really appreciate it. Oh thank...
Hi memphie, I have been on Celexa a long time ago for about 3 or 4 years. And it did good for me. I cannot go on Cymbalta as I have BP. So I have no idea what Cymbalta is like or the withdrawals. But...
Scaredy Cat, I think she stopped the Trazadone because it was making me feel drowsy in the mornings. But when I told her, after that, I was feeling down, she didn't say anything about it. I don't...
Trina, I find that talking to my family doc is easy and when I tell him about my D/A he immediately would prescribe meds etc. But the Psychiatrist I got last month doesn't seem to get it. Or I don't...
When I saw my psychiatrist two weeks ago, I was feeling the same and told her I was feeling D/A. But she didn't say anything. She told me to stop taking trazadone and I don't know if that is the...
I have started getting depressed and anxious and this time it is very deep. I have no energy and spirit to go on....
I have already told the psychiatrist what the therapist says and and therapist what the psychiatrist is saying. But they both seem to ignore it. I still have not spoken to me family doc about the...
Hi, haven't been here for a long time. But I am back. I got a new Psychiatrist and also has a therapist. But before I got my psychiatrist, I was taking treatment from the family doc who used to...
Thank you so much for your feedback. The Lorazapam that I take is part of Ativan. (I Googled and found out.) I have been taking 2mg on and off, and has helped me with the anxiety. But I am scared to...
Hi Karen, When you say Xanax, is it also known as Lorazapam? Because what the Dr. gave me, Zopiclone doesn't work after awhile. And I have trouble sleeping. I started on 100mg of Pristiq today. So I...
My Dr. has increased my Pristiq to 100mg from 50mg. As I have said before, I was on other meds, like Trimiphamine and the celebrex, but niether of them helped. But I have found a difference in...
I cannot deal with drama too. If there is any conflict I start feeling depressed. I meditate and write on journal what I feel. Also I have a cat, I love playing with....
Hi Karen, She was. I was too nervous and anxious. But I am glad I went. I am glad I am in therapy now. This was a much needed thing for me. I have been looking for one for a long time. The first...
taking Cipralex 10mg that how it didn't work after I thought it did. So I went back to my doc, and changed it. I had to go back on weaning it off and then started taking Pristiq. At first it wasn't...
Hi Karen, Do you take that in the morning or evening? I am asking because when I take it in the morning, I feel drowsy, so from today I started taking in the evening. I am still not feeling good. The...
KM1984 said... Sorry to hear that you arent having much luck with treatment. I find if I try and involve myself with friends around me it helps for my mood. But I am feeling somewhat down today....
I went to my doc, and he prescribed Pristiq 50mg. I have been on it, for 3 days. Haven't had much side effects. When he wanted to increase Cipralex dose I said that I want a change. I am still...
Thanks Karen....
Effexor worked for me too, but had to change it because I got High blood preassure. I think I find I get used to meds easily or something, that it soon wears off....
Hi, I too have been on Cipralex 10 mg for 3 weeks and for me too, I had side effects that lasted about three days and afterwards, I felt so good. And I was so glad. But it all went flat from last...
I was on Lex for only two weeks now. And I might have felt good for a week and and then it went down. I think mine will have to be increased. Or probably go on another one. I think you should...
I was on 10mg of Lexapro and felt good for a week and then there was some setback and now I am feeling anxious again....
I started on taking Cipralex about two weeks ago. After the initial side effects weared off, after three days I started feeling so happy and haven't felt like this for two years. But then there was...
It's Genetic said... Hello, Sad and Angry, and welcome to the Depression Forum. I have a lot of compassion for you because you are going through, in my view, what is called a traumatic stress...
Thank you Smurfy. That is so sweet. I will email you. Thank you so much....

I am on Cipralex (Lexapro) 10 mg. And I have insomnia. So I take Trazadone small dosage, and Seraquel. Yes she emotionally abused me, right upto her death. I don't want to go into all the details but...
Kitt, hope you take the time to heal yourself. Don't worry we all understand. Take care of yourself...
Thank you Smurgyshadow and maggie. I still feel as if I am living in that trauma of what she did. I have difficulty in forming and keeping relationships. I have trust issues, because of what I went...
Thank you Karen, I did start having tremors, which the doctor said I would have. And was also feeling dizzy, and I don't want to go out anywhere, in case I face other side effects....
I am sorry for what you are going through. Grieving can be hard for some people that they can get confused. And being the brother that died, perhaps she must be trying to live him through this other...
Well I went ahead and took the Cipralex or Lexapro tab today as indicated in the morning with food. So far I don't feel anything. I will see how it goes....
I went for counselling soon after her death, but the one I got was not that good, and I stopped going to her. But I haven't been able to find another place to go to. Some of the difficulty I face is...
O.k. Karen I will call them and find. Thanks for pushing me as I don't seem to have any energy for it....
I think that is what is happening to me. She did use a lot of guilt trips on me. Towards the end, she wanted to come and live with me. But I didn't allow her. And that was one of the areas she tried...
Yes Karen. I haven't taken the Lexapro still as I am on day 4 weaning off the Trimiphamine. I don't know as I asked the pharmacist if I could take and he told me to ask my Doctor. But calling him is...
Thank you Karen for the welcome. :-)...
Hi Karen, Thank you so much for letting me know the other name used. I have seen many others use the name Lexapro, so now I know it is the same. At least that way, I can compare the effect it has....
To Genetics, thank you so much for your reply. Thank you for pointing out that I may be going through a TRaumatic Stress Syndrome. Knowing that helps me a little. Also about the Cipralex, I am having...
Oh really! I read in another post too, that this is not working for that person. For me Triimiphamine didn't work, and I hope this would....
Hi, I lost my mother 3 years ago. My relationship with her was very chaotic. She and I were never close, and I always wanted to have a loving relationship with a mother, but I never had it. She was a...
I am so sorry to hear it. Have you tried to speak to a doctor immediately. I think you need to get to a doc or the nearest ER and get help....
