Sorry a bit long winded - I suffer from dysthemia.atypical depression
I always struggle on SSRis at about the month mark and panic that im going to gain weight, or get paranoid that im turning into a unmotivated apathetic procrastinating lazy being - this usually leads to an abrupt discontinuation.
I've discovered that after a day or 2 after discontinuation, I feel great. This as happened on long term and short term failed treatments.
The good mood obviously doesn't last long, a few days maybe then im back to stage 1.
I was wondering if alternate dosing would be an answer. Currently been on 10mg lexapro for a month and im at the stage where im wondering if its worth it - I was thinking about taking one every other day ? Is that feasible ?
