I started taking Lexapro a year ago. I'm now at 20mg and have been for over 6 months. I am also on Risperdal (1.5) and Depakote (500). The Dr. is slowly tapering me off the Depakote. I was on it originally from having a grand mal seizure from going off Klonapin too fast. (That happened in the psych. hosp.) I'm very sensitive to medicine. Now on to my concern. I just took a depression screening and came out moderately dpressed! I feel like it but thought my lack of motivation was due to the medication. How does one tell when what you feel needs further reevaluation of treatment or it is just side effects of meds that I need to cope with. By the way I have been involved with talk therapy for over a year.
