So do you guys think that plan sounds good? And I know this sounds odd, but when you take a daytime AD that "works" are you supposed to feel like yourself, just a calmer version or do you find yourself feeling like you are "medicated"? I'm just asking because this nervous/ jittery feeling is all I've gotten. I have a friend that takes 10mg of Lexapro and loves it. She says it takes the edge off and evens her out.
Thanks again for all the info.

see if you can get on the cancellation list for an earlier appt. That got me in two months early at a shrink--i do it at every specialist now and almost always get in earlier than expected

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
