Thanks, stargazer. Today I went up to 35 mgs and in a week I'll go to 40. My doctor wanted me to go straight to 40 mgs, but when I did that I had major lightheadedness for about a week until I went back to 30. This time I'm taking it slow (I should know better). And he wanted me to add Lamictal but I'm not until I'm stable on Marplan. I don't want to increase two drugs at the same time and have to guess which one is causing which side effects. I'll probably stop at 40 mgs and then add Lamictal.
I've only been on Marplan 10 weeks so it's still early. I remember when I took Lexapro I was ready to give up and then after about 12 weeks it finally kicked in and I was a new person. I'll never forget walking outside that morning and the "fog" that I had had for so many years was gone.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to look for a job. That's what I should do too, but I can't right now. Too tired and too out of it. Like you I also have thyroid issues.
Take care,
Brooke
