In reply to These SSRIs failed..WB or Lithium next?, posted by venus mcmars on October 27, 2003, at 12:47:39
> My husband has a cranky, irritable, moody affect. Prozac and paxil made him anxious and hyper. Lamital made him lose weight. Lexapro made him lose his appetite and he had no sex drive. He has also been on Neurontin and Trazadone. He takes Klonapin and Ambien. His doc says Lithium or Depokate is the next step but he refused.

> thanksI too have "cranky, irritable, moody affect". I am on Lexapro. I did not lose my drive, but did have some SE's early on. Everything is fine now. How many weeks did your husband use Lexapro? Does he drink coffee or alchol? Both create irritability for me.
Best!
