Can you still enjoy a glass of wine or no?
Good luck to all on your journeys

Abilify in not often used by the psychiatrist where I go as it has its own nasty withdrawal on top of the antidepressant withdrawal and its efficacy is questionable. I asked about it once when going through Cymbalta withdrawal and they said it would be a last resort.
I agree with CJ, I was on Lexapro with good success twice but then when I passed 60 was advised not to use it. (Yes, I am older than dirt).

How come you cannot use Lexapro when you are on that age? By the way you are NOT OLD!

Of course our boy isn't old! He still wears g strings that I made for him last year. Leopard models are his favorite. He puts them on when he mows the lawn to impress his lovely wife!
Just thought it would be good to laugh once in a while!!!!

The same limitations were placed on Lexapro not to exceed 20 mg if over 60 and not to exceed 10 mg if the patient has a history of cardiac arrhythmias. I have had transient arrhythmias since I was 13.
For those that may not know, Citalopram (Celexa) and Lexapro are identical compounds but one molecule twist counter clockwise and the other twists clockwise.

Safe is the key word there Gail. I am assuming they have no history of an erratic heart beat. Going to 30 mg would put them at risk for developing heart arrhythmias. How dangerous that would be would also depend on the condition of their hearts, what type of heart irregularity they develop, weight, eating habits, etc. but it is not recommended by the FDA.
