You are NOT being irrational or weak. This is an illness you CAN NOT control. Maybe you need a new doctor. It sounds as if you're bipolar, but he's giving you Lexapro. I'm no expert, but from what I've read, you should probably already be on a mood stablizer in conjunction with an AD. I've also heard people say that sometimes AD's make their cycling worse. And from my experience, Lexapro didn't work at all for my depression. I know how tiresome the med merry-go-round can be. But these days it seems to be what it takes to reach the right combo. Please keep trying with the meds. And please call your pdoc or therapist. I am very worried about you. Please write back and let us know how you are doing. There ARE people who understand and care!
