Can antidepressants stop having their desired effect? Been on Escitalopram ( lexapro) for a few years now but lately have been feeling pretty down. For a few months now.

I’ll hit my Dr up. This stuff has just seemed to stop. Thanks all

Absolutely. Talk to your doctor, they will either change your meds or increase your dosage.

Yes they stop after the first few weeks and you need a higher dose. Common complaint w lexapro

I switched to Celexa from Lexapro. Made a huge difference for me

I was on escotalopram for 11 years and it stopped working, I had to switch to a new SSRI

Yes. And it’s different for everyone. Your own experience is what is the most important. Talk with a therapist and tell them you’d like to try a new medication. Don’t be shy or coy about it. Don’t wait for them to suggest it. Advocate for yourself and try something new. Don’t delay

Deloitte folks - I moved to DT Canada last year due to not getting picked in H1. However US made it clear they will apply again (if and when I ask). Planning to have this conversation with PPMD mid Jan. Does anyone know if there a cut off imposed by Seyfarth after which they won’t consider candidate for FY22 lottery? I know they typically ask for info in Jan which is why I was planning to raise this again now. Just want to make sure I don’t miss the FY22 H1 attempt. TIA!

13 Partners leaving PwC to form a new company under Luke Sayers - called 'Sayers' ? Wow, does this mean there's more money to spread around at PwC ?

And to think, they called it Sayers ? Whilst some of these partners are going around calling themselves 'Founding Partners', they not only followed the leader, they couldn't even come up with an inventive name !

Perhaps they should all be called 'Following Partners'.

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
