In truth it occurred to me you might be worried about measuring it. i wonder if you could enlist hubby as a med-buddy to measure this out for you, and perhaps even record the dosage, nightly, . his OCD-proneness would make him a reliably meticulous and accurate measurer and recorder.

you could use the solution just for titration. you will probably work up to 5 mg - and then could switch to pills.

the part that "works" is EXACTLY the same drug. the other part in celexa is non-therapeutic. Lexapro simply lacks that non-working part. I tried to be precise without using chemical terminology. I was afraid that would have been gobbledygook if you aren't familiar with the terms.

yuck. ok. i wasn't sure if you'd tried it. i may have missed it in your post.

mostly, since i've taken it many times over a couple decades, i was relating my experience as to:
-- absence of side effects when i was younger
-- presence of bothersome side effects in recent years, during titration
-- what i found helpful to reduce discomfort during titration.

I posted that because in the past when you've tried AD's, i've seen you start out slow, and then get impatient about having the drug work yesterday, and decide to ramp it up and either "deal" or chuck it. the result so far has been the latter. in some cases a drug still may not be tolerable, but it is well documented that faster titration = more likelyhood of s/e, and increased likelyhood of drug d/c. my recent issues when i started zoloft were sort of a testimonial to that.

i hope you manage to talk to pdoc tomorrow. sorry you had your phone off. stuff like that happens.
