Antidepressants?


Question:
Is there anyone out there who has anything good to say about antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Currently taking Lexapro, since I've been taking it I can't leave the house, can't work and I feel disconnected. I had to stop Paxil due to too much weight gain...will i have to go back on Paxil and be fat or is there something else. In the past I've tried Paxil, Zoloft, I think those are all. I tried Welbutrin but it gave me an instant headache. Also I only take 10mg of Lexapro..not enough?? I had trouble getting on 10. Any suggestions. Oh I feel like I'm walking like a drunk and my legs ache etc.

Any comments or suggestions please...Thank you Dianne

After being on medication for 20 years, My Dr. put me back on Prozac. I am on a high dosage and also welbutrin. But when it is that time of the month i need even more help so I take an something for anxiety. I know this sound like a lot but I feel so much better. Just keep on seeing your Dr. and have him help you until you get it right. I know its not fun changing meds but when you finally get it right..Life is so good!
I'm am an antidepressent user and believer! Tom Cruise can kiss my white butt on his views! I am in my forties, and didn't get meds until the last year. What a difference a pill makes! The right pill, that is. I tried Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexipro, and the winner for me is Paxil! There's so many kinds out there, so a human guinea pig might be what you'll have to be, for awhile. And each new med gave me nausea and fatigue for two solid weeks before it "kicked in". (I also tried Trazodone) Every one has different body chemistry, but there is one out there that will work for you. Actually, I liked Lexipro, but menopause is creeping it's ugly head and I started Paxil. Ya know, I was at the point where I just wanted to"croak". I was tired of being a nervious Nellie and tired of being tired from being nervious, depression...vicious cycle,huh? Let the Lexipro have it's chance for a month. If it aint doin' it for you, get the mg. upped or changed to something else. I'm sure doc could give you a prescription for xanax to get you thru the rough spots. And I understand right now the spots are all rough! At my worst time, I avoided banks, the store, driving when I didn't have to, avoiding left hand turn lanes and roads under construction when I had to...I started counting stuff (like I was in charge of inventory on everything) OCD..Oh, and I'd take the dog with me if I could, like the mutt could take charge of the steering wheel! I used to carry a can of beer under my seat of my car in case of severe panic. I guess I figured if I had to I'd pull over and slam it! That never happen..thank God...DUI...I hated answering the phone, the door, leaving my house some days. I'd want to sleep my days off away, but couldn't stay asleep at nite. SOOOOOO, you see, I swear by antidepressents. I did gain wait, but gained my sanity. The meds had me starving, cravin' sweets and carbs. I have lost the weight by using junk food substitions, like fruit, pretzels, seeds, popcorn. And mostly, I feel content in my own skin now, except for my tiny tot titties, which I may change!!!!
god bless you my son for i am jesus almighty. come to my church and give all your money so the preachers may drive fancy cars and have oh so elegant houses. churches are run like a business dont let them win or they will suck you dry. why should they have tax exemptions? they thrive on profit and try to minimise expenses. but i will send them all to hell with my mighty wrath.

ps maybe lexapro isnt for you. there are many other options to try
