Hello,
In my previous post I mention how I was diagnosed eight yrs ago but avoided meds. Well the truth is I bounced from one anti dep to another but I had forgotten this as I was supposedly being treated for post partum, Boy were they wrong! In fact, the first time I ever had an anti dep in my system I almost ran my then boyfriend over in my car in front of his mothers house over the littlest argument. I wanted to die and I was completely out of control, that med was Lexapro. Paxil did nothing. Cymbalta made me physically hurt and did nothing, Prozac helped for oh a whole whopping three weeks and left me with 20 extra pounds.
My point is that if you found one ant dep that worked for 8 yrs then you are one lucky ducky! Good for you! I wouldnt wish the crap Ive been through on my worst enemy... well, maybe but thats another post.LOL!
If Link's,post had mentioned that he/she was extremely happy with the anti dep, I wouldn't ever try to sway them but they mentioned how they think the anti dep might be hindering the recovery. I just wanted to provide the information my psychiatrist had shared with me. Thank you for sharing your experience with us as it is important to get a variety of experiences in order to help someone to the fullest. : )
