i hope i am not alone in this but has anyone tried multiple meds and they just stop working after a good response of a few months? i've tried what feels like everything and i realize depression is recurrent. i've been on lexapro 10mg for 2 weeks and i feel somewhat better (finally my libido is returning and it's not as challenging to get myself out of bed everyday)and just tapered off effexor xr 150mg and neurontin 1600mg (for pain). other meds i am taking are wellbutrin sr 300mg, topamax 400mg (mood stabilization and migraines), flexeril 10mg (fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis), colchicine (mediterranean fever), and low dose birth control pills.
i felt a definite difference in mood control and depression by the first week on 10mg lexapro. having my first orgasms since may '02 but they are not as intense prior to multi-meds. i am still binge eating but i am wondering if it is due to my stress level rather than the lexapro (or is it a side effect of flexeril?). i am still not quite feeling myself and i am still confused about the dosages, ie, lexapro 10 vs 20mg (i used to take celexa 40mg but stopped due to insomnia). any advice would be appreciated. also, anyone know a good replacement for flexeril? some days i sleep 16 hours and eat every waking hour. thanks!
