> Hello, I am a redhead with blue eyes and have not noticed any sensitivity to the sun. I did start the lex in the winter, but have been in the sun alot this summer with baseball games and also a vacation to Florida. I have to wear sunscreen to slowly build up a tan, but now dont burn hardly at all. I do tan better than most redheads but was worried the med may make me more sensitive.


Hi all-
I tan fairly easily without burning so as I go in to the sun I use an SPF8. I have not burnt so far this summer except for a real itchy place on my back that didn't get covered by oil.
I'm on 20mg of Lex and since I am somewhat med sensitive and had been on abundant other AD's before the Lex, guess I just expected some side effects. And I remind myself that this is less than a year on the market, with some (from what I have read) short clinical trials. I also read the package inserts but sometines think this makes me imagine effects that aren't there. All in all, I guess I want to say that I am human again after feeling sub-human for a long time and if I have to put up with a few inconveniences (sweats and dizziness for me) I am more than willing!!
And I don't think even the docs know what all to expect from this med, yet.
Wishing us all peace and joyful hearts and laughter.

In reply to Lexapro still isn't different - pharmrep, posted by dr. dave on August 20, 2002, at 5:48:24

Hi all.
I tried just about any drug there is I think. Celexa worked best for me in mood terms. I felt a lot better on it. However I stopped it because of sexual side effects and decreased libido. I then tried zoloft and it didn't help + I still had sexual side effects.
Then my doctor mentioned lexapro, and I thought, maybe it's like celexa only with less side effects. I started taking it about 2 months ago (10mg) and my conclusions are:
- lexapro is DIFFERENT than celexa
- lexapro has less side effects and no sexual side effects at all it seems.
- My mood was better with celexa, but somehow I prefer lexapro because I feel more 'myself' than with celexa. It feels milder.

If sexual side effects are your main concern, try lexapro. If not, try celexa first, it's the most helpful of all SSRI's (again, at least for me)

 

Lexapro and dirurnal variation

In reply to Re: Lexapro still isn't different - pharmrep, posted by dan22 on July 28, 2003, at 9:30:56

I have a question for Lexapro users and those that who have experienced the poop-out syndrome with other SSRIs. Over the years of experiencing the SSRI merry-go-round, the main depression symptom I experience when they all quit working, was diurnal variation (DV). DV involves no motivation in the morning, dragging the butt out of bed, etc., with improvement as the day progresses. At present, the Lexapro is working for me and basically eliminated the DV, but I am not optimistic about it working forever. For any of you that have experienced DV, do you have suggestions for psychotherapeutic coping mechanisms? Do any of you know what happens during the night to cause the cycle to repeat itself the next day?

JaneB,
The term diurnal variation typically refers to some kind of 24 hour cycle or periodicity. I have run across it in the psychiatric literature in reference to daily mood cycles, and my own psychiatrist also mentioned used the term. I am not sure about the headaches, but that is not a problem for me.

Lexapro to 30mg or higher anyone?

In reply to Re: Lexapro and dirurnal variation » JaneB, posted by Bela on July 28, 2003, at 12:04:57


I've been on Lexapro for about 7 weeks with not a lot of benefit. I increased to 20 mg last week and noticed a slight increase in mood, but now it seems to be dissipating. I'm wondering if others have gone beyond 20mg and whether this has worked.

My pdoc has talked about examples of people not responding fully to Prozac until they got up to 80mg. Maybe Lex has the same effect- I've seen research that indicates that there isn't a whole lot of difference between 10 and 20mg, but it's such a new drug and there are so many individual differences about how people respond to meds.

Thanks for any responses!

Peter

Bela
Do you dread going to bed because the good feelings you experience by nightfall will be gone when you wake up only to return when it is about time to go back to bed. And no method of changing time of med dosing works.
I don't have answers for you but it I anxiously await the "experts" answers (if there are any.)

I also tried Lex and side effects outweighed the benefits. I now only take clonazepam without any antidepressant. I have less DV without any AD. But I have only been off Ad's since March. Time will tell.
JaneB
PS Lexapro made me want to drag my butt back into bed by early afternoon! If I got out of the house I was fine. But stay home and couldn't resist the nap. Possibly because Lex seemed to activate me during sleep at night too much.

JaneB,
My experience fits very closely to yours. When DV is a problem, I dread going to bed because of what I know I will feel like in the morning. Also, if I stay around the house, the bed is like a huge magnet sucking me in. No motivation.

You made one comment which REALLY interests me. I never experiencing diurnal variation until I started taking ADs. Before ADs, I used to absolutely love the mornings. I would be interested in knowing how you took yourself off them; the few times I have tried it have resulted in horrible relapses.

Micheke, Well, I went back to a quarter of a pill on Thursday-Sunday and I had a great weekend. The getaway weekend with my friends went well and I felt fine. Now it’s time to get back to work. I was going to stop it totally again today, but I am not. What I am going to do is to take less than a quarter of a pill for a while. I take a quarter of a pill (5mg) then slice bits of it off with a knife. I will do this for a week or so before I try to stop all together. I decided to do that because I was thinking that I was in for another miserable week and I was dreading it. Maybe this will work out better. How are you doing? You have been off it totally for a while now, right? How many days?

> Bela

I took myself off ADs by accident in a way. I got stuck in the March snowstorm, stranded in Denver airport with no access to suitcases. All meds (Lexapro) in suitcase except clonazepam. I slept fine and woke up feeling better and just never took any more. All the side effects which I was attributing to depression went away. But I kept taking clonazepam. In the past I had times when I was fed up with meds and stopped gradually but I always included the clonazepam in the decrease and had trouble. This time no trouble. So I have concluded that the pdoc who wanted to eliminate clonazepam and thought that Celexa, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, etc. would eliminate anxiety, night time terrors, etc. if I had adequate SSRI dose was mistaken. Clonazepam works. Just .5 mg. With the AD's I would have to increase the clonazepam just to counteract the anxiety produced by the SSRI. Why would a dr. want to eliminate what works and is inexpensive (clonazepam) and replace it with what does not work (SSRI)and is very expensive?

However, a major KEY has been the elimination of extreme stress. For years I was on stress overload. Are you on stress overload? I recognize I may need to go back on an AD if stress level skyrocketed again.
JaneB
PS This is a long story in a nutshell.
By the way, another thread questions the use of benzos for OCD. Since a child I have had mild OCD which includes simple counting in my mind. That's all. It is gone.
Also, I do avoid triggers for depression--rape movies, too much news about clergy abuse, etc.

Also, my previous pdoc, before I moved, highly recommended the clonazepam as long term treatment and caution about AD's because they produced mild cycling. I value his opinion and overcame the stigma of benzo use.

Do you have any cycling? EX. Maybe 4 days of DV and than 4 days without? Very subtle but definite if charted. Days when you say, "Why can't I wake up every day feeling good like today?"

JaneB:
In answer to your question about stress: no, I am definitely not on stress overload, and never really have been. I have taken clonazpam for periods before, but was fearful of the habituation, so I quit. Anxiety was also NEVER a problem for me until I started with the ADs.

I don't have OCD except in regards to obsessive thought patterns. Very annoying.

I do have mood cycles that overlay the daily cycles, just as you described. I can feel fabulous for days, and for no apparent reason, wake up the next morning and feel like the sky has fallen. This has happened to me on wonderful, relaxing vacations! The reverse has happened, but usually not as abruptly.

JaneB,
I have tried both Lithobid (Lithium) and Lamictal. I hated Lithium. I am currently taking the Lamictal. It may eliminate deep depression, but it doesn't seem to affect the more subtle DV. I wonder, as you suggest, perhaps the AD is causing the DV.

Can anyone else out there in "Psycho-Babble Land" contribute to this dialogue between JaneB me?

Rich:
Glad to hear that the vacation was great! How did everything go with your lady friend?
I think you have the right idea about the tapering. Unfortunately, after a few days I was not able to stay off it completely. I was feeling pretty bummed about having to start again but I try to tell myself that I just have to taper slower. I went back to 5mg then down to 2.5mg. I haven't bothered to consult my doc because the only thing she can tell me is that she doesn't know why I'm even experiencing withdrawal. Funny, huh? I get more information from this site. Anyway, I will stay on 2.5mg for this week until Friday when my fiance comes back from his business trip. I am having the same problem where I start to dread trying to go off completely. I can deal with everything except the extreme dizziness. So, I have decided that I will then start chopping pieces off until I can't chop anymore. I'm wishing us both luck!
-Michele

Has anybody gone through this before that can give us an idea of how long the withdrawal lasts??

Hi.

The pattern you describe is considered typical of endogenous depression, sometimes known as melancholic or "typical" depression. Have you ever tried imipramine or any other tricyclic? They are sometimes very effective for that kind of depression. What about Effexor?

No,to both of your questions. You are the first, obviously knowledgeable, person who has ever mentioned the term endogenous, melancholic, or "typical" depression to me. I will look into both your suggestions. Thanks.

I have been on Lexapro going on the 4th week and the light switch just came on 3 days ago but I still have the side effect of diarrhea. Does anyone else have the same problem. It's interesting because I don't have all of the other side effects that I did with Paxil and Zoloft. I have also been off of Xanax for the past 2 weeks because of the ability of Lexapro to wane my anxiety. Very interesting posting board. Good luck to all who need the help!

Hi Jim,

I'm hanging in there. I just came back from vacation. Just did a local thing this year.

I just increased my Lex to 7.5 mg. Trying to give this med a chance. Not sure if it's working or not. Really tired in the a.m. and headache since I increased it. I know though those SE's will go away. Had some anxiety on vacation so I can't say this medication is totally working.

I've been on this board daily (I think sometimes that could be a bad thing being I start to think I will get other people's SE's). I see you post often...check in on me once in awhile would ya (ha!)

Be good,
Capri
