[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 192417"] There is another therapist really close to me that my GP knows and likes. I'm going to call her tomorrow and tell her that I'm in the midst of a 'scary' depression (my terminology for major depression, cause 'major' just doesnt' do it justice) and see how soon she can get me in. In the meantime, I called my pharmacy to see if any of my medications could be interacting with my aygestin (synthetic progestin). I've been spotting almost daily and I haven't done that ever in the 4 years I've been on the aygestin. It's possibe I'm doing perimenopause and have an appointment with a GYN in a couple weeks. Thing is, it's the aygestin with the lexapro that really fixed my depression. If the aygestin isn't working right - or if I am in perimenopause - it's going to have a huge impact on my depression. The pharmacist looked at all of my medications and even pulled out the insert for the aygestin and couldn't find anything. Then she looked at Prilosec OTC (which she didn't know about) and said that it lists depression as a possible side effect. Now a lot of medications list that, but while I was stable on the lexapro and aygestin it was never an issue. While I was thinking about that, the timing of starting the Prilosec and the spotting match up. So, I'm going to stop the Prilosec and see if I can determine a cause and effect scenario. I'm just feeling desperate in doing anything to make this stop. I'm still only at 25mg on the lamictal so it's too soon to see any benefits from that. [/QUOTE]
