I found Lexapro is the ONLY one I would recommend, had good results with and actually works.
I tried everything except Cymbalta because of what I heard.
The cost is going to be difficult being on medicare and Plan D, it will be a tier item that would cost me $75 a month mail order at @ 2 $150.00
BUT Canada is the only one the PCP will allow me to purchase from is $88 for three months supply.
I did have to titer up because of insomnia and loss of appitite, It took about 4 weeks and I got to 20 mg. One extra side help, is my Rosecea is completly gone on the 20 mg, the pain flares are reduced. My mind does not work mulling over my sadness and conflicts in life.
So I don't know how I will do it, but It took me 9 months to detox all the nasties on effexor, the horrid nightmares, weight gains, the feeling that I am spending money and the problems are not manageable from the medication.
It will be about 2 years in the US until the generic is avaiable, but in CA it is availble now.
I just need the $88 asap so I am not short, I tried to cut in half and it is not working out.
