I am now only on LExapro at 20 mg
This 20 mg is a good solid dose that is moderate to high moderate

hard to imagine that one tiny pill is holding my brain together

It helps manage my anxiety attacks and OCD
 
Good side effects is I get movie like DREAMS that are amazing

BAD side effects- slight stomach pains, increase in scary diarreha and finally impotence lol

Remember I mentioned that to you long ago?

Now Lamictal could be a good additive to Lexapro

20 mg is a very high initial dose. Usually it is 5. Are you dancing like Julie Andrews in the opening scene of, The Sound of Music?
 
Every psychiatrist will tell you that if 15MG doesn't do it, you are in a skewed percentage.

You should get off that stuff. Try mescaline. You might get stomach pain from laughing at stupid shit.
 
30 years ago I did a course of anti-depressants, and it worked out fine.

I was taking Pamelor, 25 mg, for about a year. I think they gave me that drug because I knew a broad named Pamela back then.

Yeah, that's a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor). Don't 'cold turkey' on this one. It increases serotonin in the brain by blocking it's re-uptake into neurons. This makes more serotonin available that improves transmission of messages between neurons. The effect is to decrease depression. It's kind of like Dopamine but works more like a regulator whereas Dopamine creates chemicals that enhance the reward system and mood. I currently take a different SSRI at a low dose. Cocaine, for instance, stimulates the creation of Dopamine.
