Thanks for your post and I hope you are feeling better! You have give. Us all faith that there are still good and caring doctors in this world!

Incidentally, don’t ever say anything about ever being a failure! No matter what happens, nothing is a failure. Just be well!

All that being said, I am back on Lexapro. Well, I was never on Lexapro, but I’m back on an SSRI. Prescribed 10 mgs but couldn’t handle it, went down to 5mg and now 2.5 which I’m tolerating well. After a week or so I’ll go up to 5. Maybe even stop there. Maybe it’s just a thing for us folks that are super sensitive to medicine... who knows. But the higher doses made me very nervous and shaky.

Anyway, happiness for you and your great doctor!

Good Morning,
You are right!
We all react to meds differently and we are NOT failures if we have bad reactions or the meds don't work for us.
Finding meds that are good for us can be a process.

Have a great day!
