2 wks doing well on lex…getting irritable again now.
Hi again,
2 weeks ago my dr added 10 mg lexapro to the 400mg of Wellbutrin I
have been taking for several months to help depression. I’ve had
side effects (difficulty sleeping, sexual side effects, funny taste
in my mouth, a bit shaky, sleepy, etc.), but my mood had been MUCH
better, and I was less anxious as well.
HOWEVER, yesterday and today I’ve been feeling crabby and anxious
like I was before. Nothing in my life is different, situationally.
My nonmedical opinion is that I’ve adjusted to the 10mgs of lexapro
and need the dose bumped up. My sleep has been better lately, and I
think that’s another indication that my body’s adjusting to this
dose.
To muddy the waters, though, I’m expecting my period, and usually
my mood is the worst when it’s PMS time. I’ll have my follow-up
with the doc in a week, so the PMS phase will be over by then. If
I’m still crabby and anxious, how do I know if that’s an indication
that I need the dose bumped up, OR if it’s not working for me???
Does anyone else have experience with this type of situation????
Patty
