hi x_Ronda_x,

> I was switched three weeks ago from Celexa to Lexapro. Of course, I'm switched every time I go to the dr. Feels like a rollercoaster most of the time. I'm on 10 mg Lexapro, 150 Effexor-XR, 150 trileptal, and either I sleep all the time, or not at all. That's not even counting the Neuronton 4 times a day, and Xanax at night, if I'm awake long enough to take the rest of them. After three years, I'm really tired of this medicine-go-round. I just WISH they could find SOME combination that worked. Still on therapy, but I agree ... the head-nodding and vague reflections on what I say does little to help me find a way to get structure, direction, OR my life back.

so you've gone from
celexa to lexapro while you're taking

effexor
trilepal
neuronton
xanax

and you've been going through the medication circus for 3 YEARS !! (???)

awesome, and AWFUL for you there ... sorry ...

but you're beyond me .. .... .. i don't begin to know what to offer you because
i've only been on lex for 5 months (i take 10 mg)...
it is the only AD i've ever had ...
... of your other meds, of the ones i've read about, i only know them by there reputations ... ...
so you need a lot better information than you can get from me ...

... so here's my suggestion, while we are here in pBabble land:
go to the main message board (click the 'Psycho Babble' link at the top of the page);
post a new thread by clicking the "Start new thread" link at the bottom of the main message board page ;
write an attention grabbing subject line, the better to get the attention of folks with info ...
... maybe something like

"lexapro, effexor, trileptal, neuronton PLUS xanax:: HELP!!"
... maybe ?
... and then hope someone like Larry Hoover or JrBecker ot Ron Hill reply with their expertise.

... ... of course reading posts about your meds on the main message page could help and doing searches there may turn up some useful info also ...

sorry i don't have any answers for you!
good luck ... let us hear how you're doing .

TAKE CARE !!!
~ jim
