I am 54 years old lost my mom 2 and a half yrs ago, husband 1 and half year ago, I truly handled all fine and stayed very STRONG for our grown sons 22 and 27, kept steaming along, went right back to work, now for about a month or 2 very depressed, I ve always suffered with depression and anxiety, I take citalaphram .25 for a few years for anxiety, as needed and went to my pcp, he gave me lexapro 10 mg. I took it and it gave me shakes, more anxiety and I do not feel any happier? I spoke to dr after 3rd day on Lexapro 10mg, he said take only half, I have been, the nausea has gone away, i m not as tired, I usually have ALOT of nervous energy, but still wake up shaky and not comfortable, I am thinking of taking 5mg every other day, and weaning myself off. Celexa had worked for me years ago, then I weaned myself off when it seemed like life was easier and I was fine for a LONG time. I am bipolar have very highs and lows please tell me what to do? God Bless you and thank you.... Brenda
