I am on day 18 with Lexapro. I can't believe how much better the depression seems! I actually caught myself having and keeping a positive attitude!!! I still don't sleep well, it's 4:30 am as we speak. The teeth clenching seems to have improved. I have very little appetite but since I gained around fifty pounds on a combo of Celexa and Remeron, I don't mind. Have lost eleven of it since summer and do eat but just not constantly anymore. Don't have alot of zip either but that seems to be improving too.
I anticipate needing this board and the support it brings as a week from Saturday I move in with my parents. (I am 53.........arrrrgh!!). I expect it will be difficult for all concerned but they are in their mid 80's so I hope to be some help to them in return for a place to stay. When I said I caught myself keeping a positive attitude, it was in the face of a scathing email from my mother regarding the situation. (The aliens abducted my real mother about 12 years ago and left this mean-spirited old woman in her place, he he ). But she didn't rock my world with her meaness as she has in the past and I believe that the Lexapro has contributed significantly to my feelings of peace in the situation.
So, keep up the good fight Neptune! If the Lexapro isn't the one there are others out there and combos of them. Sending you wishes for a good result.
