Hi papillon,My pdoc originally wanted to do that (raise Lexapro) only during the time I have PMS. Because I have other things happening, we opted out of that approach for now.
I like the vitamin/supplement idea; I typically don't like oral contraceptives, and that sounds very doable.
Thanks for your input =).
