I'm fine, finer than fine, everything's fine.
 except it's not. Went to meet my new pdoc Tuesday. I think I like her. For some reason it occured to me to say "I think I'm depressed. We talked a bit about how I'm feeling and she reviewed my meds. Then she commented that I'm still in the starter dose of my AD Celexa. She suggested upping the dose which I did. Ta da! I can't believe how much better I feel already. Can you say "denial"? Even after all these years I tell myself bah your just a little down it will pass. Why do I do this to myself?

I know how you feel. I didn't think I was depressed but Pdoc put me on wellbutrin and it's like when you get glasses for the first time- fuzzy to crystal clear!

I know for a FACT that I can do better on some more meds. But I fall into a category with my benefits where the copay for some of those medications are through the roof! I mean I would be totally open to trying something new, I just can't afford it.
Bring on the Universal Healthcare somebody please!

Lucky for those who can take ADs. They make me a total mess of anger. I've tried ones that raised serotonin and ones that raise dopamine with the same ugly outcome. When I'm depressed my only option is to ride it out till the darkness goes away.

That's awesome.
I tried going off Lexapro once and I became severely depressed a month later. Then when I went back on it and felt a lot better. Hopefully Celexa works out for you. I think Celexa is citalopram, and I know Lexapro is escitalopram. It's the same drug actually, except Lexapro is a bit stronger. I think Celexa/Lexapro are great ADs from my experience. |

I need something new in meds too. Cant recall if I've ever been on celexa. But I was on lorazepam for years.
I was thinking about asking for Topamax.
