Yes, I'm sorry! On these kinds of boards members tend to shorten things or turn

them into a slang type terms. Sides = side effects. Lex and C you might see

also.

40 mg of Lex would probably make me feel like sleeping all day...(Icurrently

take 20 mg)

wow, that sounds like a lot of reuptake of serotonin.

how does it make you feel?

That's a lot of Lex. I have never met anyone on a dose that high. I have never

heard of anyone taking multiple doses throughout the day either, although I

guess it's possible.

Serotonin Syndrome can be a real problem, especially if you take other meds.

Watch for rigid muscles and a high fever.

I've got a few about another week to go on lexapro before i switch to

generic celexa. I hope it doesn't make me feel weird.

With some drugs you have to go in and get your blood tested every six months to

make sure you're not getting too much or too little. Examples are lithium and

synthetic thyroid. I wonder if they ever do that for the SSRIs, to make sure

you're not getting too much seratonin? Anybody ever heard of that?

My liver enzymes are always elevated anyway from the hepatitis C.

Serotoin symdrome is supposed to very rare. I also understood it to be

caused most often by a combination of meds rather than taking just one.

If I remember correctly what I read about Cymbalta and certain other AD's, you

would not be able to take it or them because your liver function would be

considered already compromised. The only time that would not be so is if it's

determined that it or one of the others would be the only drug(s) that would

work for you. And then they'd be constantly monitoring your liver function. They

would start with a base level measurement and go from there.

Alot of meds are hard on the liver. For most people it's not a problem

especially if the med was being taken for only a short time.

My enzymes are only a little bit above normal and two liver biopsies, four years

apart, both showed stage one grade one. My gastroenterologist, who is a

hepatitis specialist, says that I can still take any med I want as long as it's

prescribed by a doctor for a medical reason. I've had hepatitis C since 1969.
