I am a regular lurker and avid Cathe fan. I have recently bit off way more than I can chew including building a new house, selling my current house, and starting a new teaching position. I finally broke down and called my Dr. He offered Lexapro for 6 mos to help me make it thru the building process.
I took one 10mg pill just before bed on an empty stomach. I was sick as a dog for the next 24 hours with pretty much every side effect possible listed. My husband (a pharmacist) has suggested I try 1/2 a pill with breakfast on Saturday. I really believe it will not matter. Can any one tell me their experience whit this or similar drug? Dare I try again or will my body just not accept this chemical?
What about the natural antidepressants? St. John's Wort or 5HTP? Or do I just plug thru the next 6 months as best I can. Thanks for any information on you personal experience with this drug.
