i don't usually read the lex posts, but yours stood out and was all too familiar to me. i was in your exact position last year with lexapro. i hate to see you suffering. i had several SSRI's pushed upon me over the years, all with equally disastrous results. they aren't for everyone, that's just a fact. i really hate to see you suffering this way. my *former* doctor told me that lexapro "doesn't have side effects" and to just keep taking it. obviously *that* isn't true.
i managed to make it through about four weeks before i found another doctor who rediagnosed me as a particularly sneaky bipolar II and got me on an entirely different track, medicinally speaking. i just wanted to write and say, please know that if you decide not to stick with the lex, then there are other options and that no matter how bad it gets, i promise it will get better again. during the nights of panic, i thought i would never find the right meds for me, and i did. it took some time to get the lex out of my system, but it turned out okay. hang in there. i'm really sorry about your girlfriend.
