P doctor just added 10mg Lexapro to my mix. I have taken before and it was hard to sleep on it for me. My cocktail is 350mg Seroquel, 2mg Risperdal, 900mg Neurontin, 1mg Klonopin, 4mg Cogentin. It’s going to take some time for me to adjust to the Lexapro. Last time I took it, I was comfortably numb and did stop it because I felt like I was going beyond a point of no return. By that I mean it seemed that I was not recognizing myself or how ambivalent I was to to world around me. Like I was not a able to focus at all and I did not care. Part of me wants to let go to see if that is a temporary state of mind or if I will get to the point that I won’t remember how I was without this med. does anybody ever have these internal thoughts of resistance? This is the best I can do to explain it.

I took lexapro for years. It didn't make me feel numb though. I felt better on it.

I have taken also with nothing else. I think it’s the combination that I am taking. It seems to be different

I've never been on Lexapro, but someone in my household is. It seems to work for his condition.

I am on risperidone, and it has worked well for me for the last several years since I got on it. I have sza, bipolar type. I am also on another psych med.

I do not resist what the doctor wants for me; if they and I decide I will take a med, I take it precisely as ordered, and report any problems. I wish I could say that I always was like this. It is the only way the doctor knows what is really going on with the patient: if the patient takes precisely what they are supposed to.

I hope I don't sound like I am scolding. Maybe this helps.



Be Well,
Jeff
