> **come on geezer...be more sensitive or constructive...she has described discontinuation/withdrawal syndrome...anything taken after the effexor would still have similar issues...prozac might work, but will most likely create bigger problems, like jitters, a compromised p450 system for any other meds in the liver, variance issues with the over 14 companies producing a generic, and way too many other issues.Sure don't mean to be disrespectful, insensitive, or lacking in constructive comments. All I have to offer is my own anecdotal experience, that combined with the total absence of empirical proof of ANYTHING in the field of psychiatry, should count for something. There seem to be some reports of discontinuation/withdrawal syndrome from Lexapro showing up here on the board lately. I have done the SSRI promenade (haven't tried Lexapro....unless you think that would add something to my Parnate and ECT treatments). You stick with marketing and "spliting isomers", think I will hang out here in the "no spin zone".
Cheers,
Geezer
