I told him I thought prozac was the better antidepressant for me, but that lexapro was much better for anxiety, he said I might end up taking both...wow, that took me by surprise. But he wants me to start on lexapro first. He said the crashes I experience after starting an ssri are probably dopamine related and that is what the ropinirole is for. He said I have mild tremors and mild parkinsons probably from zyprexa, and the ropinirole is for that too. He wants me to just stop zyprexa, and that scares the hell out of me. I can't do that.

I think you are FINALLY going to get the help you need and deserve. My best wishes and prayers go out to you Blueberry!
