@mariemarie, antidepressants do work. But they are not immediate (usually take them 2-3 weeks to see how they work) and your doctor may have to experiment with different antidepressants that work best for you. This is from my personal experience. Hang in there. Rick

Thanks, Rick. Wish dry heaves in morning when first wakeup would stop.

My neurologist said today to go back to 10 mg until Monday. Stop on monday . Start taking Depakote on Tuesday.

Anybody taking Depakote?

@mariemarie I'm not familiar with that med at all. You might try posting this question in the Mental Health group. Just go to the Mental Health Home page and post the question as you did here. Lots of folks there are taking meds and will share with you. By the way, how are you doing with the exercise program? Looking forward to hearing from you. Teresa

Teresa, escitalopram is generic for lexapro.
