Hi morgan,
well, lexapro has improved my mood, or at least keeps me from getting too depressed without side-effects like anxiety (hi TCAs & wellbutrin) or insomnia (hi strattera) or being furiously angry all the time (hi, TCAs)
I've tried pretty much everything, from TCAs to MAOIs to 3 or 4 SSRIs to lamictal to emsam to strattera to minacipran, etc. etc. etc.
funny thing is - it doesn't matter what I take - if I'm taking any mood drug, I do not exercise. I find it practically impossible. If I stop, I start exercising right away. damnedest thing.
anyway, I've even combined lexapro with adderal and focalin at different times... the weight keeps coming on.
on strattera I lost weight - it was great - except for the insomnia and the depression it caused.
thanks.
