I SPOKE TO MY DOC ABOUT THE SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS AND THE INCREASING GENERAL ANXIETY - CANNOT FOCUS - EXTREME FOOT & FINGER TAPPING. THIS IS AFTER 6 WEEKS OF LEXAPRO 20MG.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED ON PROZAC, I HAD THIS WAVE OF EUPHORIA THAT CAME TO ME AFTER A FEW WEEKS. I STAYED ON IT FOR 3 YEARS AND THEN IT TUCKERED OUT ON ME, AND THE DEPRESSION CAME BACK.
I MENTION THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HAD EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED 'EUPHORIA'. INSTEAD, WITH LEXAPRO IT HAS BEEN A REDUCTION IN FATALISTIC THOUGHTS, BUT AN INCREASED ANXIETY, SEXUAL DISFUNTION, AND AN INABILITY TO FOCUS.
IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED TO ME THAT BUSPAR MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE ANXIETY. AS FOR THE SEXUAL ISSUES, I TOO HAVE HEARD ABOUT WELBUTRIN HELPING.
THE DOC HAS ADVISED ME TO REDUCE DOSEAGE TO 10 MG.
