I’m on Lexapro and feel depressed a lot. When I was on a higher dose I became manic and stayed awake two days.

Lexapro didn’t do the trick for me either. @Jinx
My dr finally tried an SNRI called desvenlafaxine or Pristiq. It’s worked out well for me. The SSRI ones didn’t work for me but the SNRI ones do she figured out. Another example of an SNRI is Effexor xr, which I took in the past a while back.
I can’t tolerate Wellbutrin either because of my severe anxiety disorders. So I take desvenlafaxine.

I’m on max dose generic cymbalta 120 mg (2 x 60 mg) daily. I take it in the morning. It helps. It’s the only med that works for me. I tried so many meds it’s freaking depressing. None of them work like either I’m TR or the caffeine nullifies everything. I sometimes feel less or not schizophrenic when I cut down the caffeine, sleep a lot, and even stay hydrated and exercise. I would say 9/10 doctors agree I’m schizophrenic. I think it’s a diagnosis of exclusion and it’s a life sentence to me. It’s debilitating and sticks with you forever. It’s a negative thing to have that follows you around and I feel like it discredits me.
Vraylar helps me too. I thought about going back on Risperdal or Abilify, but parents say I haven’t been this well or talkative since I got sick back in 2011.
I’ve tried dozens of supplements for memory, iq, and negatives, and even was willing to experiment on my self.
Cymbalta is an SNRI and doesn’t really stimulate me but gives me physical energy and reduces pain. It also makes me dependent on it because if I didn’t take it, I get brain zaps and withdraws and stuff like that.
I’m on paxil. I’m not depressed. But I suffer from panic attacks.
Duloxetine it stops me from feeling too rough.
I take Vortioxetine but that is for anxiety
I’m on wellbutrin. But I still don’t notice any effects because I’ve been taking it for 4 days.
I’m taking effexor/venlafaxine. It’s okay Ive had ups and downs. I hope you feel better.
Seroxat 40mg 20 years now
I was on seroxat for 23 years it worked well but seemed to stop working so now I’m on duloxetine and it keeps me from getting too low but probably seroxat was better

I take Vortioxetine. It really helps me a lot.
Amitriptyline 25mg once daily. It’s suppose to go good with perphenazine. I do well on it. Started taking it again recently and have felt better mood and more motivated.
