These last two weeks have been absolutely terrible. I have had periods of depression previously but not as long a stretch as this and never as bad. I had a bad reaction to Mirtazapine a few years back and have tried to avoid drug treatment since then.
This week my psychiatrist suggested I try Cipralex. The first day I just didn't know what I had gotten myself into. I don't feel any less tired. I had diarrhea five times, no appetite and still really tired. After I got home from a trip downtown, I stop the car fell asleep in it and lost my keys. I hope it doesn't take long to adjust to this.
I also had my epilepsy drugs adjusted my decreasing the Keppra from 750 to 500 twice daily and increasing Lamotrigine from 100 to 125 twice daily because apparently Keppra can cause thoughts of suicide. And I thought I wanted to get away from Lamotrigine.
