Better living through chemistry...or something

[bjornwilde]

With my last doctor's visit, I requested a script for an antidepressant. I've always had trouble with depression, it comes and goes, but with teh death of my father, I'd decided life is too short of swallow or white knuckle through emotions, so I've been trying to acknowledge them and deal, which has had some effects.

The medication I was prescribed was Lexipro and after two days I was noticing changes I wasn't so sure about. Basically, I was feeling like I'd drunk a triple espresso on an empty stomach, without the jitters. Fortunately that phase of the medication seems to have passed now, cause that was not a feeling I was enjoying.

I hope that antidepressants help you find a good place for yourself and also that you can find the best medicine to help you feel like you want to.

Thanks. So far they seem to? Mostly I just need a little help.
