I think I have almost used every antidepressant out there. I have found Lexapro to be the one to help me. I also take Klonipin 1 mg during the day and 2 at night to help me sleep. Also take Lamictal which is a mood elevator. It's used for seizures too. I hope this helps some of you guys out there. This virus has not helped. I had to give up my dog because I couldn't take care of her. That's been the most depressing thing for me. I'm going to be having a fusion surgery down my low back from T-10 to my pelvis. It's a big surgery, but I have done everything I can do to now have to have it. I have an excellent surgeon at Mayo so I'm very confident all will go well. They did do a test that showed the surgery will work. Take care all of you. I know it's not easy. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2, but since I moved back to Iowa I'm dx depression with anxiety. My son is Bipolar 1. It has traveled all through my family. May Peace be with all of you. Bless all who suffer for Jesus knows.

I will be praying for you and your family. Genetic history was a really big discovery in tracking down my mental health causes. I will pray for your surgery and complete success. I had transplant surgery on cervical disk C-6 13 years ago; still doing great!

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear what you are going through. Finding the right antidepressant is so trying. Just waiting after taking a new one to see if it will work can be miserable. I pray you’ll find the right one. I wanted to tell you that giving up your dog must have been excruciating but it was incredibly generous. I will keep you in my prayers.
