I had a psych doc tell me once that EACH psych med only worked on 15-20% of the population. That is why there are soooooooooooo many of them....each one tweaked just a tad differently because of how sensitive our brain chemistry is. I was only trying to get the point across that the *med roller coaster* can be an up and down one.........having to try many meds before hitting the right one. G's new psych doc decided today to slowly switch him from Lexapro back to Luvox. Se's not too keen on the Dr J and Mr H persona.....which she saw in full force today!!! It's funny, I just always dealt with it. What else can you do?!?!? He's been on Lexapro for over 4 yrs now, since the Scleroderma hit in Nov 06. We shall see what happens. I'll keep you posted. Prayers coming your way for ....sure hope they find a way to get him motivated to enjoy life again. <<sent DH to buy a bear of his own. He came home with an adorable bear that he'd chosen, dressed in a Phillies t-shirt...and wants nothing to do with it! Ugh.>> ....sounds like Gareth.....just HAD to have that TV for HIS bedroom wall and won't watch it!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
