> I too am outrageously sensitive to these medicines. Your comment about sleeping all day on anything more than 5mg of Lexapro brought back bad memories from Effexor, Paxil, Zoloft and others. I honestly reached a point - especially on Paxil, of sleeping 18-20 hours per day. Then I said enough is enough and got off it, withdrawl and all.

> I am currently trying to get on Cymbalta and it is just about killing me. I had a compounding pharmacist make me 5mg capsules and I can't even tolerate that. After 4 or 5 days it was becoming unbearable. Now I'm breaking them open and counting the little pieces inside. It's still not good. Unbelievable, my sister was able to go on the Cymbalta almost without any difficulty and started right out on 30mg. What is wrong with me???

Yikes, I was thinking of going on Cymbalta but someone on this forum told me about the nasty side effects. I am also very med sensitive so I changed my mind about the Cymbalta. Lexapro supposedly has one of the fewest side effects from the SSRI group, and I have noticed that (I've also tried Paxil, Effexor, Prosac, etc etc etc and the side effects were hell), but the sleeping my life away isn't that great either.I think I'm going to the crisis unit tomorrow at the local hospital. I really want to get on a mood stabilizer, I think Lamictal sounds the best to me at this point. Definately want to get off the Lexapro, unless it starts working with a mood stabilizer!!!!
I have diagnosed myself (Dr. Cynthia in the house.. lol) with bipolar!!! These never ending mood swings...
