Yes indeed, that was me. I'm still in the "waiting" period to see if this last increase is going to be effective. To date, it clearly has not. According to my Psych. and what I've read, the uptake period can take longer as we get older.
My next appointment with him is at the end of this month, that will have been almost 8 weeks since the increase. If there is no movement to the positive side, we will have to look into a Plan B.
I feel stuck in a purgatory of SO hoping the increase will take hold ( I try really, really not to give up on Hope, even when it is transient) and so afraid of what my next hell will be if it doesn't.

@rufus31 so sorry it sounds like you’re still going through it with the dosage change. These meds can be tough to figure out. And some that worked before don’t work when you try them the second time around (my more recent experience). Our bodies definitely seem to change as we get older and hormones etc seem to play a role. I really hope you find the right dose/med soon and hope your symptoms get more manageable. I’ve thought about trying TMS possibly as an alternative if I need more support. The Lexapro did end up evening out for me. Please keep us updated on how things are going!

@rufus31 have you tried any fast acting antidepressants that could help get you some relief while you wait for others to kick in? Spravato or IV ketamine?
