I've been on Lexapro, Cogentin, Abilify, and Klonopin for the past year. Just 3 months ago my meds stopped working and I've become suicidal and very depressed. I've talked to my T and Crisis Intervention. They both believe that it's a med problem. My pdoc is in Italy on vacation until the 18th.

Could this med problem be from the antidepressant, Lexapro?

Lexi what dose of Abilify are ya on? Yes...you may need another anti-depressant and/ or an upgrade on your Abilify. I am not a Phamacist or a Doctor so....perhaps you could post this for CamW in the Drug info section. Hope this helps ya. I am only on my first cup of coffee this morn. Med Question

Hmmmmm...You are on quite a bit of Ablify. I am thinking that you are in need of another drug addition or substitution. I am on Wellbutrin 300mg., Cybalta 30mg., Abilify 5 mg. And 1 mg. of Konopin..q 8hr. per day.

My pain meds are Methadone 10 mg. Q6hr., Xanax 1 mg. Q 12 hr...prn. and Flexeril 10 mg. q 6 hr..prn, and last in the starring lineup is Ultram 50 mg. Q 6 hr...prn

I am trying to get my P doc to prescibe Straterra for my AADD..but she is reluctant for some reason. PDocs have their own little querks when it comes to prescibing meds. Med Question Med Question

Good luck..and take good care of yourself!
