Hi, I'm so excited and thankful to have found PNP. I'm 46 years old and have suffered from depression and have been taking antidepressants for 20+ years. I take 10 mg of lexapro daily and 90 mg of armour thyroid daily. The armour thyroid has allowed me to decrease the lexapro dose from 20 to 10 mg.

I'm in Step 1. I've always been a big breakfast eater. However, I now realize I haven't been eating nearly enough protein. The last 2 days I've eaten 30 grams of protein with breakfast (aligned with PNP recommendation based on my weight). I feel great.

My goal is to follow the Steps slowly and deliberately as recommended. I hope one day to get off lexapro. There are side effects that I just don't like, but feel I've had no alternative.

I'm happy to be here!!!
