Hi wonderful. i am in 75 of Pristiq. And 600 Lithium. I just started 10 mg of Escitalopram/ Lexapro. This episode of depression started witg worrying about crazy devt and finances and not knowing about my acting career and painfully thinking and feeling should i give up my dreams. I have so much guilt all over. All over all my mistakes and have a hard tike forgiving myself. I am also mad at myself. WHY AM I back here again. I was good for 8 months. of course in This past december i thought i would drink lots of wine and not take the Pristiq or Lithium. So anxious and conflicted. I want to be me again and have joy! I cant live this way.!!!! Help! I hope Lexapro helps me! any advice???? please???

    Hi it sounds like you fine when taking your meds but went downhill when you stopped them and took to drinking wine. The answer is there, so carry on with meds and stop drinking so much as alcohol is a depressant.
