Hi Coop,
I have major depression, GAD and panic disorder and am on my third week of Lex. I started at 10mg and am now on 20. The Lex seems to be working okay for the depression but I've been taking Klonopin for the anxiety. Yes, I too have been to the hospital for blood tests, etc. because I thought there surely must be something physically wrong with me. But it turns out I'm fine except for the above mentioned disorders. The Klonopin really helps for the anxiety, but I still wasn't able to sleep so my doc just gave me an rx for some sleeping pills (I can't remember what they're called). Hang in there. That's what I'm trying to do. My doc said to try the Lex for 6 weeks before we re-evaluate my meds. She really wants me to go on Paxil but I've heard such scary things about it that I really don't want to try it. Besides, except for the fatigue, dry mouth and anorgasmia, I'm finally over the Lex side effects!
