I was on it far too long and I experienced all the symptoms that that were suggested to me here. I never thought for a minute it was that because I believed both my doctor and psych when they both said they were safe to take.
I did however reduce the Lexapro 30mg back to 20mgs but I don't think my problem was that as I was put on 40mgs before to try and ease anxiety and it made no difference how much I was taking.
It is great now however that when I wake during the night I dont have to take another zopiclone to get back to sleep. I can simply drift back without anything.
I'm still not fully out of the water though but I'm a hell of a lot better than I was for the the last year. I can eat and enjoy my food again although I still do have slight depression and a little anxiety.
I may still need something milder for sleep but if there's nothing safe there I'll suffer on as I can't risk going back to that awful place I was in. It's just to dangerous for me with my other addictions, alcohol, codeine, benzos etc.
Thanks again for being there for me and pointing me in the right direction.
I will definitely be posting here more and let you know of any changes made to my meds as feel you the are the people who know best as you've been there.
My psych. is retiring very soon so I hope I'll get a younger more reliable one in his place.
