All about Lexapro

For the emotional flatlining thoughts you all. I’ve been feeling it
this week and your thoughts have helped me put my feelings (or lack
of) into better perspective.-Steeve

LOL! I’ve had increase flatulence on Lexapro.I think its the Lexapro.
Do I need to move to the country or will this pass? ROFLOL! I’m
serious , no really .:-)

It makes perfect sense when you think of it in regard to weight.If
people can metabolize food at different rates, it makes sense that
this same factor is at work with how people metabolize drugs.
I only weigh about 102 but I eat WAY more than my sister and she
weighs about 160.
I don’t think they can fairly say what a “therapudic dose” is unless
they decide this on the basis of a persons , age , weight , and sex
etc.

Hey guys,
How’s it going? Still bummed out about my job. However, I managed to
get quite a bit done today. I cleaned out my closet, finished all my
laundry, dusted my bedroom, and finally got the last couple of
addresses added to the guest list for my wedding. I didn’t get any
homework done this weekend though. That’s really bad. I’ll still be
up for a few hours, so I’m sure I’ll get some done before I go to
bed. I mean I have homework due tomorrow night so I kinda have to do
it tonight because I won’t have any time to do it tomorrow. My fourth
class starts this Wednesday. Man I’m not looking forward to that.
I’ll be soooooooo glad when this semester is finished.
It’s a good thing I’m on Lexapro, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to
juggle all of this stuff.

Hey guys how’s everyone doing? Sorry I haven’t written in a while,
my last few days have been a little frusterating. Ok I had a P doc
appointment on Friday and I knew that he wanted me to go up to 10Mg
of Lex anyway so I figured I try it before I saw him to report the
results. Well on Thursay I did the bump up, and actually I was fine
for the first couple of hours, then I got very ill (throwing up), and
I spent the rest of the day in bed.
Well I’m back on the 5Mg and I’m still nauseated but not as bad as
Thursday. My doctor has me on Protonix (Basically like Nexium) and I
need to take Maalox tabs along with the Protonix two to three times a
day now too. Its a shame, because except for the stomach sickness
this stuff (Lex) is pretty good. Now I’m scared how life is going to
be for me now with all this stomach sickness, and how much damage I’m
going to be doing to an already sensitive stomach with all the meds.
Its been now 2.5 weeks on the Lex.
I’m also in the middle of switching my therapist, because my old one
just decided to quit. So I hope to find a new one that is strong
with anxiety and mind distractors.
Well I glad that you guys are for the most part doing pretty good. I
guess I will stay as stong as I possibly can for the next couple of
weeks. Talks to you guys later…

i’m so glad I found a group!I’ve been on Lexapro about 2 weeks.I had
been on 30 mg Celexa for 2 years.I already feel so much better i can
hardly believe it.I feel like doing things again, and not so
tired.Plus I can consentrate on things again.
I had a couple of headaches that i don’t usually have since i
started but they didn’tlast long .

Hi, well, I feel good, a little too much energy, my afternoon naps
are not needed anymore. I still feel more anxious than I did on c.
I’m hoping that will go away, still. my shorterm memory is worse, my
eyesight is worse.
I am doing better than I was on 40 of c. I am on 20 of lex. But
I feel like my ocd is worse as well. But I felt that way on c on the
end before I switched as well.
I am actually making dinner again! That , I can’t even believe!

Hey guys,
Feeling pretty good after 4 weeks on Lexapro. I’m a little depressed
tonight because yesterday, I found out that I’ll probably be laid off
in a few weeks. But for the most part I’m handling it pretty well. I
haven’t gone off the deep end or anything. Just kinda bummed. I’m
trying to stay optimistic though. Hey it’s not the end of the world
if I lose my job. At least I can say that and mean it now. A year ago
I’d be thinking about driving my car into a telephone pole. That’s
probably more than you guys wanted to know. Anyway, I’ll keep you
updated. Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Liz

No PA’s in weeks and feeling pretty good! 10 mg in the morning ! Yay!
Started Sept 19th my math sucks ! LOL

Some of the dreams were disturbing.It is also the fact that I
remembered them so clearly.
I remember bits and pieces from a dream last night, but nothing too
bad .
Do any of you remember a regarding broken teeth and fillings?
Well,I just got home from the dentist.I have a broken filling which
he can’t fix until tomorrow. grrrr
Hugs
