wow- very similiar lives we lead. I was on drugs when i was younger and quit also a LONG time ago but have suffered with anxiety and depression for years. I've been on Lexapro for about a year and 1/2 or so and just upped my dose from 10mgs to 15mgs. I still don't feel the difference but it has only been a couple of days. I've tried may different meds like u and had alot of the same reactions as you and also struggle with weight gain. Tried the therapy thing but felt like nobody else could solve my problems, I already know them I just have to do something about it but can't get to that place...I wish I had some advice for you, I've tried self help books, meditation, I go to church, you name it, I've tried but I just can't get past this overwhelming feeling and have to continue to remind myself that I'm not alone. I'm trying to work even closer with my pdoc to solve this but feel like I'm hopeless. I know this isn't true but struggle with these thoughts. I've been keeping a journal and try to force myself to write lows and highs for the day so when i feel so hopeless I can look and see that there is positive in everyday and try hard to embrace that. This message board is wonderful to support and let you know that you're not alone. I suggest at least continuing to connect through here and try some of their suggestions. I'm here whenever you need a friend...(((hugs)))
