I think you should stick with the Lexapro for a while longer, although I'm certainly not a doctor to give advice. But you said that the Celexa worked fine, and that Lexapro was even better in terms of side effects. PLEASE don't play the roller coaster game of trying one med after another. It can really mess you up, and make you even worse than when you first started out. It seems pretty obvious that serotonin is the culprit in your body chemistry, so I would definately stick with the SSRIs (if you DO decide to try other meds). As well, you could always add a mood stabilizer to help augment the Lexapro.

Didn't you say that you are only on 10 mg? That's just a starting point. Ask your doctor to increase it to 20 mg and see how that works for you first. I'd hate to see you get all twisted around from the horrors of searching for a new medication.

With love,
Sandy
