Ssris lexapro

One does not just go off SSRIs, unless one wants a nasty withdrawal. I speak from experience. It takes months of slow reduction in dosage. Great story otherwise.

Can someone out there confirm that most antidepressants are dispensed as pills, which are hard to grind to soluble dust?
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.

I have survived serious deprssion (by which I mean I was in the bath, with the knife touching my wrist), and am now a neuroscientist, I would like to point out some things. First, medication and therapy together work much better than either one alone. Second, we have no idea why. We do not know what causes depression, what its physiology is, or even what it effects. We have no real idea how SSRIs work (seritonin itself does not seem to effect mood), but we know they do. The bottom line is this: no one actually knows how to cure it, but there are a lot of things that can help survive it. This subission is excellent because it covers a lot of them.

And to anyone who still strugles (like I do) with depression: don't lose hope, and you are not alone.

First off, the story was phenomenal. I think the thing that struck me was the reality of it. You allowed realworld consequences, the conflict, even the big fight. So many of these stories just assume that theres a happily ever after involved and no consequences. Though the ending was happy, the conflict that the main character felt was very realistic, believable, amd well-conveyed.
As a medical professional however, I enjoyed the use of the SSRI as a very clever and creative plot device but have to mention that these results are not typical. Low dise SSRIs ARE commonly used for males with premature ejaculation problems, BUT the therapeutic window us VERY narrow. More often, the result is erectile dysfunction or total anorgasmia. I hope folks do not rush out and get an SSRI thinking they will last forever. All in all however, my most sincere and enthusiastic compliments on an amazing story. Thank you for sharing!

As the title says, I'm not a doctor (or a lawyer, counselor, or any other medical type), but I am an engineer. I hadn't noticed the comparision to Ohios' story, but it is valid. I'll buy the BiPolar excuse before the depression. I have inlaws, outlaws, and regular relatives that are bipolar, and each in their own way are very scary. The biggest problem with the bipolar excuse, is that it just doesn't manifest in six months. The infidelity was, I assume (risking all for that word) was a one-time occurence. She knew what she was doing but couldn't (wouldn't) help herself. Very strange circumstances, but I guess the onset of menopause could start triggering symptoms. God knows menopause triggers enough on its own. Things just didn't seem to fit together on the cheating.
Next thing that bothered me, Ju never seemed to profess any desire to have a restored muscle car, that was his dream. Why would he plan to give it to her? Especially as a surprise. It would make more sense to tell her upfront that he wanted to give her a part of his dream, and let her share in the restoration. Then she'd appreciate the car.
Lastly an observation, if I were to see my S.O. performing in a car next to me, I'd loose it too. I don't know if I'd be racing the troopers, but I'd sure be leaving in a hurry! Strange that the wife gets a 'walk' on her infidelity due to mental health issues. The husband gets nailed for loosing it during what could be considered a serious mental health incident. Seems like the constant inequities in civil vs criminal offenses will never change.
Time for me to take my Lexapro again, I'm starting to feel depressed (grin)! Thanks for sharing a very good story!
