[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 324354, member: 8226"] I'd definitely go with a psychiatrist. I've been too messed up before by the non-specialists. I hope you can find a good one, Heather. I've been lucky on that. I've heard the same thing about the abilify. Don't know personally anybody who's done it though. My thinking about the lexapro was just wondering if it's still helping you at all, since you are still having so much trouble at max dose after being on it for years. That would be hard for you to find out, though, without a trial reduction and risk of a harder fall that you're already feeling. I guess the good part, if you have to do that, is that lexapro is probably the one that would give you the quickest message among SSRI's. My psychiatrist's approach is to add on if getting some good results but just need more. Change if no positive results. I've talked to other people whose docs just add, add, add--and I actually think a lot of docs in my area do that. That's where the tangled mess comes in, and I can't figure out why they do that. I hope you can find some relief soon. [/QUOTE]
