"in october 2010 i had a psychotic attack.  it appears that my old medicine escitalopram (taken since 2004) has failed to treat my ongoing depressions. since have transferred onto this medicine about six months ago by a psychiatrist. taken with escitalopram i gained 1.5 stones in weight. no longer taking escitalopram the weight has dropped off of me. now taking a dosage of 200 mg daily this medicine is not working on either the hallucinations or the depression. may need a stronger dosage and/or take in combination with an antidepressant."
