Lexapro/Celexa stopped working for me also. You need to change to something else.OP here again. I was not expecting a featured thread. Thank you to everyone who responded and you're suggestions.
To answer some questions:
I am currently on 20mg Lexapro which was previously increased from 10mg. I have been on Lexapro since January.
I was recently given 25mg of Hydroxyzine which I feel is just like Benadryl. It does not help outside of sleeping but I just got on it.
My psychiatrist is through my therapist.
I did not know what type of mood stabilizer my psychiatrist was going to give me.
I declined because I do not want to take various mental health medications. I didn't want to really get on medication in the first place.
I will be taking to my psychiatrist soon so I will tell her how I feel. I think the journal idea is good.
I feel small changes with the medication but overall I am still having issues such as tearing/crying, not being able to sleep sometime due to thoughts, and I'm irritabile sometime to where I can physically feel it.
I started therapy in May of last years and medication this year.
I was crying a little hear and there in counseling but it's more frequent now. I was not an emotional person before this.
I am dealing with failure and disappointment in life right now which caused my depression to get to a point where I seemed counseling.
I am worried that even if I do get to a good place in life it will not be enough.
I also strongly recommend you getting checked for ADHD and be adamant about it. If the doctor is dismissive then have them put it in your file.
