[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 156906"] SW - I wasn't aware it can help with IBS issues, too. That's really good to know. I wanted to try it because of the sleep issues and headaches. I very rarely get migraines, but I often have thumping headaches. I really don't need any more help with weight gain. :faint: on the other hand, I was always so thin and worried about every little pound and if feeling better means I end up a little heavier (ahem...cough cough) then I'm ok with that. My doctor is worried about it causing dry mouth. I've had a swollen salivary gland for 2 weeks now that keeps getting in the way of my bite - even when I talk some days - and she said that's from a dry mouth...possibly sjogren's syndrome as I also have the very dry eyes. I'm nervous about the switch now that evening is here and it's time to take it. I'll just keep my eyes open for any changes. I'm more worried about the lexapro withdrawal because I know I'm going to experience it based on past history. I was taking 20mg. I added the nortriptyline tonight and took 10mg lexapro. I'll do that for a week and then drop down to 5mg lexapro. I have a feeling I'm going to have to drag out the taper a bit. I'm so glad I have the GP I do. It's taken years. I hope we get more answers with the rheumy, but if not at least I know my GP will treat me according to my symptoms. I haven't heard yet when I see the sleep specialist. But something has to give and soon. I took a two hour nap today. Afterwards, I loaded the dishwasher, watered the flowers, washed the doggie bowls and a couple loads of laundry. Was feeling really good energy wise. Then Wynter's tutor came and we talked for 2 hours and I am absolutely, beyond explaining exhausted. [/QUOTE]
