Hi, I'm not new to the therapy forum but I am in this section. I'd like an opinion on what I've been going through. I've seen a therapist for about 2 years and while i've healed from what brought me to start (a food problem) everything happened and in the end I'm still there. This is the most difficult period of my life so far. My therapist was against meds but in the summer my gp prescribed me Lexapro 10mg and xanax. After being tired and sleepy it seemed like Lexapro was starting to work a little bit. Then I had a breakdown and my therapist wanted me to also go to a pdoc.
So i went and this pdoc whom diagnosed me with severe depression doubled Lexapro to 20mg. after the adjustmet I felt no benefit this time. I go from dumbness to wanting to hang myself to despair. This is not me, the effect is totally different this time. I want to stop it and go back to only therapy. Is it possible? do you think I might suffer from stopping it? It's torture. Anyone been there? Help. Thanks.
