I have been slipping back into illness for about 2 months now, no the signs i have been hear hundreds of time,s in my life. My eyes give me away the life goes from them, im taking the minimum of meds to cut side effects lexapro seems to have bit me on the bum after a good start. 10MG is low and i could easy go up to 20mg , but i will suffer to much on the side effects. i have ran out of most ssri,s and snris to try has i have took them all in my 35year AD run. mabye i can go back on an old one that pooped on me 30 years ago who knows. The costipation on lexapro is a downer and i have taken all the nhs meds to help it. Get a fisher cut in your ar** and you soon go on a downer believe me. I go to the mental hospital next month for my 6 month check up , but to be honest i only go to stay on there books , and not have to start at the bottom again. To say there useless would be a compliment . The GP is better they have more money to spend than NHS hospitals. Its bad when a gp can give you meds the hospital carnt afford to give you. Take lexapro you wont get that at hospital citalopram yes its cheaper. I have the benzo, s which still work for me im not addicted has i dont crave more , but i carnt come of them after all these years or i would be in trouble big time. I have been hear many times it dont get any easier but life goes on.
