Lexapro and Iron question

[Guest guest]

Where do you get chromagen forte? Is it by prescription only or is

it over the counter? Approximately what is the cost.

Before WLS, I took BRAND NAME Prozac and it worked great. I never

had a problem and felt 10000% better than I ever did and never

thought about suicide which was a problem for me.

After surgery, I tried Prozac, Fluoxetine (the generic Prozac) and

Lexapro tablets. I might as well have been eating a banana for all

the good any of them did. My psycho-pharmacologist (fancy name for a

psychiatrist that specializes in medicine management for depression)

checked for me and Lexapro comes in liquid so I am moving on to that

next because she thinks I have absorption problems related to WLS. I

just wanted to throw this out there because it might help some of

you.

I also take Rispardol as an SSRI booster and feel pretty damn good

lately, almost normal. Rispardol is actually an anti-psychotic but

they combine it with SSRIs to boost the SSRIs effectiveness. I am

not and never have been psychotic in any way, just depressed.

However, the Rispardol has been INCREDIBLE and it is a tiny tiny pill

that dissolves on your tongue in less than 3 seconds so I know I am

getting it in my system.

Per my recent medical reading, generics only have to have an 80%

effacacy compared to the brand name and I think that is one reason I

did so poorly on the Fluoxetine. There has been a lot of medical

discussion that although helpful, generic anti-depressants don't work

for a lot of people like the brand names do. fyi...
