Hi PJ,
First and foremost, I think it's very important not to overgeneralise.
>Well my old pdoc said the dose amount of meds was being prescribed at lower doses and she frowned on med cocktails as one doesn't know what one does to the other or all combined. The new pdoc feels the same. He doesn't raise doses or prescribe a med to add to the mix so to speak.
I think that's specific to your doctor or your area. Some doctors use complex combinations and others don't.
>To Gadchik it's the lexapro will stop that tonight. Makes no sense to continue hasn't helped.
I never did understand why you were taking it! I have been asking that question ever since you started taking it.
>The luvox must find Lar's thread if in archieves where it caused psychosis in him.
I don't think Larry's response to Luvox is relevent. All that is important is your response to Luvox.
>I know so many others family included that no longer take meds and are fine.
Well, you can reduce your meds very gradually if you and your doctor agree that it's appropriate. Do not stop or reduce more than one medication at once. Stopping Lexapro certainly makes sense as a starting point.
I get the impression that boredom and family problems are among your main problems PJ, neither of which can be solved by medication. Medication can only deal with so much.
Take care.
