((((Juliana))))

I'm sorry that you are beginning to feel out of sorts again. A lot of people can go on a high with a new job, and then drop down once they start to settle in. It's rather like when you eat chocolate (yum yum!). It can raise your glucose so high and you're all giddy and talkative and happy.....and then the glucose actually plunges LOWER than before you actually ate the chocolate (so you get tired and things aren't as funny as they were. Lol). It may just be an adjustment reaction to the whole new job situation, and has nothing to do with your meds.

However, I do have a question for you. Where are you getting the Lexapro? Are you in a clinical study? Because we don't have that med in Canada yet, and I even checked the Canadian Drug Database under the generic name. It's not approved here yet. Are you sure it's not Celexa, which is quite similiar to Lexapro? I've just been curious for a little while, and just figured you must be in a clinical study.

Yes, I would talk with your doctor about such things as raising the dose or even augmenting the med with a mood stabilizer. It only helps to ask, right? And the only one hurting by not asking is *you*. We want you to take great care of yourself, Juliana, because we've all come to like you a lot on this Board. You're a nice girl!

God bless,
Sandy
