Beastress, I have tried TCA's in the past with no discernable benefits. However, I think the dosage may have been too low.
Bill, As per your kind suggestion, I called to inquire about adding Xanax, and my doctor has agreed. Hopefully, that will help get me over the rough spots until I see her again in three weeks, at which time I plan to ask about Buspar. Xanax just makes me a little stoned, but I work at home, so that should be okay.
I also felt somewhat relieved when my therapist saw how tweaked I was this afternoon and told me that if I got anymore flak about the doc denying my Lex side effects that she would call her personally and back me up. She said some people are just very sensitive to SSRI's and not to let her invalidation get me down too much. Thanks to her support and that of everyone here, I'm going to try to push on through. Thanks again, Bina
