I can't believe these plugs for Dr. Laura Primakoff. I really can't. When I saw her she was extremely pro-drug and really poor at A) empathy and B) professionalism. I got way worse under her "care." I'm suspicious, therefore, about these raving plugs, which, incidentally, include her phone number, location, and payment information.

I wish I could just take a SSRI like everyone else. If Lexapro is too stimulating for me, I don't think any SSRIs will work.


lexapro made me feel terrible, but prozac works wonders. you just never know. good luck!

Thanks. Op again. This is what I tried and it gave me terrible cramps and stomach issues (diarrheah) for almost two days. But I think I started with 1 tsp.

Op again. I have tried magnesium in various forms and it either gave me a horribly upset stomach or gave me what felt like skipped heartbeats (another issue I have frequently). I guess I can try again. I took the magnesium chelate form.
