All about Lexapro

Here are the first 2 paragraphs in the article :
Jan. 7, 2000 (Indianapolis) — Research published in the January
issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry shows that women who have
had a history of depression may be at greater risk for recurrence of
depression if they diet.
Low-calorie dieting can lead to depletion of a certain dietary
component called tryptophan. This chemical is important for the
creation of serotonin in the brain, a chemical responsible for
transmitting nerve impulses, which are involved in mood regulation.

you have to read this page .My Dr. didn’t really explain much about
tryptophan …I had found out it was an amino acid but until now
didn’t fully realise it’s importance .No wonder it helped.
Why the heck don’t more Doctors know this ?

I was poking around trying to get some information for the person
that asked about St Johns Wort.
I found a page ( i’ll post the link in a second ) anyway It mentions
that St Johns wort contains “Tryptophan ”
My Doctor put me on Tryptophan WITH the celexa and I still take it .
He said it helps the AD work better!
It is an amino acid.I had never heard of it …. and when I just saw
that it is in St.Johns wort I was surprised .
When I researched tryptophan ….. it said that used alone there
appears to be little therapudic value but used in conjunction with an
SSRI there was a marked increase in the AD benefit, and it is also
said to help with the side effects .
The pills are big.Each pill is a gram.My Dr. has prescribed one and
1/2 grams (one and 1/2 pills) at bedtime.
I guesss he is not as full of crap as I thought lol

Hi all, does anybody know if it is okay to take Xanax and St john’s Wort?? I am trying the St John’s as my last ditch effort before I try the Lexapro or Celexa, and I’d like to take a small amount of Xanax from time to time as my anxiety is up and down. I am hoping that somebody knows about this.

and did something sexually compulsive( Don’t worry, wasn’t that
bad) Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything for OCD . I think I’m
just that way, maybe because i’m an alcoholic. I dunno and when
I went iup to 15 I felt like a zombie. Maybe because I’m on .50 low
dose of klonopin too. I just wish I could change and I don’t know
if pill can help me.

good thing im not clostraphobic lol

Is it 10pm eastern time?? Help me-lol!!
Brandy

Think I’ll crawl into a hole now .
hugs

anyway, I will send an invitation back to the group to the man with
an apology .
Hugs again
