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.
if you have to wait for 6 weeks, maybe you can get advice from an MD before then to see if you should wean off the zoloft or if you can switch from zoloft to lexapro or something else w/o a waiting period. i think it depends what drugs you'll switch to so hard to say before you know that. sooner you get headed the right direction with meds, the better. but you'll make it through this, and in the not too distant future will be breathing great sighs of relief that this period has passed.

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. 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.
