Today I met with her and brought in a detailed chronology of all my recent med changes and how they have affected me, so she could see it all on paper. She agreed that I could stay on the 5 mg. (Whew! I thought we'd have to argue about it.)
Our plan is to stay on the 5 mg for a month or so and then re-evaluate. At that time, I may raise to her the idea of going to 2.5 mg, or switching to some low dose of Celexa (since it's less potent, I'd imagine I can have more ability to tweak the dosing). Of course if I'm feeling fine, then I'll just stay on the 5 mg of Lex... I've learned from this experience that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Diagnosis: recurrent melancholic depression
Meds: Lexapro since Sept. 2009
