Just wanted all to know - the 39 tablets of Lexapro (taken in hot tea) did nothing...just let me get some sleep I needed. On the one hand, I am deeply disappointed; I was so ready to pack it in. On the other, I got to see an other sunrise. I just wonder what the damn drug was supposed to do to help me out.
Whole thing came about because of a new shrink who was treating me as a number and when I pointed out he had also prescribed a med I had been taking but at 1/3 the dose, became very haughty as though I had made the mistake. Second time he had done this...made a mistake in prescription.
He was also incredible rude to my case manager who was sitting in with me during the "consulatation".
My other psychiatrist (in another state) always addressed any change in my meds and let me know what to expect.
I am totally non-confrontational but today put in calls to him and my case manager about my terrible disappointment in him.
I deeply apologize for any concern I caused...I will keep my mouth shut and sign off.
