I have been monitering her and making sure that a) she is taking her meds and b) because she tried to leave us last year, that she is not overmedicating, especially on her sleeping pills. She is scheduled to see her psychiatrist tomorrow and I hope that he will suggest a med chnge for the exact reasons that you mentioned. From my reading, I have gathered that 30 mg of Lexapro is kind of excessive and they haven't shown that there is any difference between the effect of 20 and 30. She is also on 15mg Zyprexa (someone asked that)

I wish that her psychiatrist saw her more often. I thought that at least once a week was standard when they are trying to get the right level of meds and then they taper off to maybe onece every three to four week, but he's been seeing her much less often.. more like once a month.

no less than the trees and the stars
you have a right to be here...
