Is escitalopram working at all and how much are you taking?
It is for Anxiety and depression. I can't find much info online about this one, so would welcome any experience or advice.
Lofepramine is primarily a noradrenaline, aka norepinephrine, reuptake inhibitor that also inhibits serotonin reuptake to a much lesser extent. If SSRIs haven't been effective it is worth a shot.
I have tried so many antidepressants, I am beginning to wonder if I will ever find one that suits.
What have you tried, at what maximum dose, how long were you on that dose and why did you stop taking it?
