Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Nells, I am on Lexpro. I have been having terrible depression. I am having terrible family problems. My husband is bi-polar and had a psychotic episode and caused a big family stink. Now they hate us. I am ill with systemic lupus, arthritis, osteoporoses, degenerative disk disease, TMJ dysfunction, fibromyalgia, & beguine familial tremor. I had a small stroke 7 years ago and survived cancer. I have trouble thinking and remembering. I have been on permanent disability for 7 years now. I just had my gallbladder out in January and am still recovering. I am real tired. My husband has a sinus infection. Before my surgery, I vomited uncontrollably for hours on end all night and into the morning with horrible cramping. It went on for 2 years. The last year it happened once a month. Right before surgery it happened 2 weeks apart. My husband thought I might have a stroke due to the pressure extreme vomiting puts on your brain. He was nuts with worry. We had no insurance. I have medi-care but I still have to pay over $1000. My husband has had about 16 jobs in the 25 years since we have been married. The fact that I can’t work has put a lot of pressure on us both and he holds up pretty well considering his illness. I am not sure Lexpro is helping. I have had to undergo such family stress this last whole year! I cry a lot. I am going to see the Dr again Monday & talk. I hope your Mom gets better. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HI, I would like to know if any here have tried Lexapro an antidepressant? I try to read all the posts. I had to quit my job a month ago after 14 yrs. working with battered women. The office politics were a million times worse than the counseling. I had to take a job working with at risk youth and families. I also need the insurance. I barely have any energy. Requesting prayers for my Mom.
