Today has been bad. They call me "treatment resistant". I just can't get past the pain and anxiety. I'm finally off the Lexapro after tapering and re-starting and tapering and re-starting. The feelings were awful when I would try to stop. I've been finally off of it for four days. I went on a site that describes a withdrawal syndrome for some people and I now realize it was not just me. Anyway, the doctor will try an maoi antidepressant next. I'm in counselling, but she doesn't seem to be helping me. I guess I need to just keep praying and hope for a miracle.
I find it very harsh that some doctor has called you 'treatment resistant' I wonder if it actually means he/she just doesnt know how to help you. Maybe your therapist is just not the one for you I wonder if it would be worth ending therapy with her having a 'rest' and then look for someone else. Hey I dont believe in 'treatment resistant' what a cop out by the doctor, I really believe we can all move forward even if it is just enough to let some 'sunshine' in. Thinking of you, love Margxx
