Sabina,
I hope you are feeling better soon... I've never posted to you before, but I am a BP 2 sufferer, with ADHD, been on the board here for about 2 years. I know the kinds of feelings you're talking about...
Have you talked to your pdoc about your side effects from the Lexapro? I don't think your reaction is typical... but not having tried Lex or Celexa, I don't know. It just seems like one shouldn't have to suffer so much on a drug that's supposed to make you feel better... (right?) Sometimes people here have said that a strong, immediate negative side effect to a drug is a sign that it's not going to work for you. Check the meds board, I'll try to later after work...Sorry again for the pain you're in. And don't do the self-deprecating thing where your boyfriend is concerned. I'm sure the love and care you give him has a lot of value to him, in and of itself. Your illness is not a "fault," and the judgemental thing probably doesn't even enter his mind. I'm sure he just wants to understand and help...
best wishes,
Wendy
