To Nells/ Lexapro and prayer request

[Guest guest]

Dear Nells,

When deciding on a new drug, I like to try ones that have been on

the market for awhile because: (1)there is usually a generic form

which costs much less, and (2)the drug has been around long enough

for researchers to have done studies regarding long-term side-

effects.

Everybody's body chemistry is different, so what works for me may

not be the best option for you. I have severe clinical depression

and have been content for the last 7 years on 100mg/day of Luvox, or

it's generic form. I had previously tried Paxil 20mg/day but found

that I was " too happy " , almost a zombie, resistant to any negative

emotion. And while most people might think that is great, I felt

that I wasn't a normal human anymore. I mean, you have to be able

to experience some sad emotions in order to truly appreciate the

happier emotions. My dad, who is also depressed has been stable on

a combination of Wellbutrin and Remeron. Hope this helps.

My thoughts & prayers are with you and your mother. Take care.

Love,
