Dear SunshineGirl,
I have taken Lexapro. I recently read in Readers Digest that Lexapro and Zoloft are considered the most effective SSRI's. I don't recall any particular improvement on Lexapro above that of any other SSRI/SSRNI. As far as the other condition that you mention, I am afraid that I am not familiar with that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.  billie

I take Lexapro, but I took it long before I got RSD. I was diagnosed with depression after I had a hysterectomy so, I don't know how it works with my RSD. Recently, my GP put me on Elavil and I can see a huge difference with that. I also take Xanax and Vicaprofen. I hope they can find something that helps with the burning soon.

Hi I was on Lexapro for depression but that was pre rsd and pain. For me it did not help with the depression but I do know others it does. It is a common drug for psychs to prescribe. I was on Zoloft too with rsd and pre rsd which is also a very common one I'm not the best to go on as I am a hard person to get medicated. I was on Elavil too which my neuro put me on and that is supposed to assist in sleep for some as well. Have you tried Cymbalta I am on that for depression and it helps with pain I guess?
Cindi have you tried Lyrica or neurnotin for the burning pain |

I take Cymbalta, and it helps with the burning pain, as well as depression. It also assists with Fibromyalgia. Many diabetics take Cymbalta to ease neuropathy...which is burning pain.
Hope you get relief soon.
