> > So sorry you're suffering so badly. Inpatient or intensive outpatient might be worth considering. I'm wondering about the throwing up. Did you make any sort of med dosage increase or add a new med when it started, or had you been on everything for while? Are you feeling better stomach wise without the meds? Are you confident that they ruled everything else out?

> thanks, emme. there was nothing new or changed when i got sick. it just sort of happened. i'm thinking of taking half of my lexapro dose until i can fully wean off or speak to my pdoc. better yet, i'd like to find a new pdoc as this guy has proved to be worthless. i'm a somewhat easy patient--i'm not difficult, i don't challenge, i comply and i offer intelligent insight and suggestions into my case. oh, sometimes i cry. so what? i say "somewhat" easy patient because i'm tx resistant and my pdoc doesn't seem to know what to do w/ me and i'm getting the feeling that it's annoying to him.

> thanks again. i might go inpatient. i can't do this anymore.Hi Bryn,
When you say vomiting so frequently that just sort of appeared makes me think food poisoning or some sort of horrid viral infection. My friend's child abruptly started having stomach pain and throwing up every half an hour. They suspect norovirus, although I don't think they have a firm diagnosis (the kid is doing much better now).
Anyway, your medical professionals may very well have done due diligence and truly explored all avenues, and maybe it really was your meds. I just worry that they may have incorrectly chalked your symptoms up to psych meds simply because you take them, and pulled you off them cold turkey unnecessarily, throwing your psyche into the pit of hell.
I do hope you are hanging in there and starting to feel a little better.
