Lexapro

[Aggie_Ama]

Everyone's experience with a drug can be mixed but usually people who have a very negative response remember it more. When my tremors first started I was on Neurontin. I was also extremely depressed. I thought it was the Neurontin and was convinced it was the devil's drug. Now that I have had the same depression feelings I had in 2004 and my tremors were coming out of remission I know it probably wasn't Neurontin. Although I felt like an idiot on it (many people say that), it gave me hot flashes and made me really loopy if I took anything else but the depression wasn't the Neurontin. Oh and quitting Neurontin made me feel really out of it, I would say wacko but that isn't the word. I was even more depressed, irritable and frustrated for the two week taper. Many people take Neurontin for tremors and are quite happy with the results, so there you go.

I appreciate everyone's stories and cautions about their experience. I go back to the doctor next week to see what he thinks but I feel less irritable, more in control and overall content. I guess for me, for now it is the right choice.

Oh and the sleeping? I realized I always take a lot of naps in the spring, have since I was 15 I guess it could be the time change and not a thing to do with the Lexapro. The insomnia has stopped. Sometimes we want to blame something when it probably has nothing to do with it.
