Hi Tracy,

Nice to meet you here. Thanks for caring enough to post on this issue. Today I feel somewhat better, enough where I don't think hospitalization is a problem. I saw my pdoc this morning and after I told him about these symptoms, he prescribed Lexapro. I've taken it before, but I don't remember why he took me off. He says it's one of the safer antidepressants you can take with Bipolar disorder. I had to get off Lamictal it caused me to have a rash.

Each day I wake up is a miracle and gives me a second chance to change my mood if possible to one that is more hopeful. I have a lot of circumstances in my life that bring me way way down, and no med will cure it. It just might put a bandaid on it for now.
