sorry to keep assaulting with questions - i feel so pedantic - but i just thought i'd update:
i tried taking 5mg of lexapro and fell asleep in the late afternoon, which seems to be a recurring theme with me and anti-depressants (even on moclobemide & st john's wort); it's like by the time 5pm rolls round, it's impossible for me to stay awake. the headaches are persisting, and two this week have been really bad. RSL also doesn;t show any signs of abating. the thing is tho, aside from some memory problems, cognitive functioning seems to have emerged relatively unscathed. it's hard to tell if it's because my dose is low, but it's enough reason for me to keep going for a little while at least to see if things improve. the thing is though, taking the lex at night doesn't seem to make me tired. so i thinking of maybe trying to take the 5mg in the afternoon, or maybe trying 10mg at night to see if that's more sedating?
i also have a prescription now for wellbutrin to hopefully deal w/ the RSL, memory problems, etc. but i'm kinda nervous because i've never augmented. is it a wise idea to bump lex up to 10mg at the same time as starting wellbutrin? also, is it possible for wellbutrin to have an effect on the headaches? because if not i'm wondering if it might be better just give wellbutrin a shot on its own , , i donno ... sorry if this is kinda scatterbrained .. my mind is just overrun with possibilities . .
