10mg not enough, 15mg more depressed
Hey there, I hope someone has some ideas. Next week is my psychiatrist appointment and I'd like to have some ideas what to do next.
Basically I take lexapro for half a year now and at some point it was not enough anymore (low moods). So we dosed up to 15mg but that was horrible!! I stayed on for a few weeks and had a massive crisis and really low lows. It got better when going back to 10mg. But I'm still more depressed than I'd like to be when taking ANTIdepressants.
After this huge down phase I'm really scared to switch to a different med. But at the same time I need something else or something to add to stabilize and not constantly go into depressive episodes. Any ideas what's good to add? Or did you have the same and switched to a different med?
Also taking vyvanse 40mg for adhd and low dose abilify (off label usefor chronic illnesses).
Would like to stay at SSRIs cause I seem to react badly to Noradrenaline ones (SNRIs).
