Originally posted by gadzooks I would 'Thank' this post twice if I could.
While I have contemplated getting off the meds (tapering, to reduce withdrawal effects), I only ever thought of it as a shaky correlation assumption (i.e. I think my depression has gotten worse since they put me on anti-depressants (and I still get a kick out of that irony), but I'm not quite sure, so it's something I can consider among many options).
But I never really considered the possible mechanism of action behind it. And maybe that's precisely the issue. It's flattened my affect to the point that I lost all the motivation I once had in life, and reduced my high's as well and not just my low's.
But I always figured that was more a Lithium thing. I was actually prescribed Lithium like 15 years ago when psychiatrists thought I might be bipolar (one even said schizoaffective - it's like bipolar with a dash of schizophrenia symptoms thrown in). Now that was a medication I couldn't stand taking for long.
I actually have a long history of stopping any psychiatric medications.
I'm 34 now and this round of a treatment attempt is by far the longest one I've stuck with (close to two years now).
I really do need to think through the psychiatric medication angle quite a bit more though.
So thank you, because that was another blind spot I had for some reason and you've helped bring it to light.
Feeling more depressed... or suicidal.. although statistically rare... is a potential side effect of taking Lexapro... or any SSRI. I'm surprised you were not made aware of that by your psychiatrist. It's also listed as one of the possible side effects in the information packet that came with your script. Moving forward... it would be best for you to familiarize yourself as much as possible with any medication ur putting into your body. 👍 -

You live in the South too, you dumb bastard.. if it's truly Virginia, where you live... which you have stated before. Your winters aren't shit, either... you're a pussy when it comes to cold weather tolerance. -

allow me mathematisize it :
to suicide, you need lots of courage in one burst,
to live, you only needed a constant drip of small courage.
the difference between combustion and explosion.
Great analogy, Benny.👍 love the way you articulated that. -

Originally posted by gadzooks Lexapro looks to be an SSRI.
SSRI's are primarily for managing mood. But studies have found that in really high doses, they can be effective in treating OCD, so that's why I'm prescribed them, just a different SSRI (Fluoxetine AKA Prozac).
The downside is that high doses end up 'zombifying' you... you end up being too flat. It sucks, but perhaps get back on the Medication Carousel and get back to trial and error and Hopefully you'll find something better, eventually. Or, you could get a pill cutter and keep reducing your daily medication dosage by 5mg until you reach a proper therapeutic dose for your body chemistry. You will know what dose that is, subjectively, intuitively, when you achieve it 👍
