On month….
Wow,interesting reading the previous posts..Shauna and Faiv about how
you are feeling…
I too have been on it a month.I must say I feel pretty good
emotionally…..but I have physical complaints….Do not know if its
related to the Lexapro.
But it seemed to occur as soon as I started it. Lots of stomach
problems……I have not had my period since Sept…….(not
pregnant!) Now i’m experiencing shortness of breath..like u Shauna.
I may make a trip to my dr and get things checked out…. I feel the
same mentally on Lexapro which is good……MoRe up days then
down….But this feeling lousy is not fun…….
Let us know u guys……how it goes,U shauna if you go back to
Celexa……

Mary,
I decided this morning I am going to try taking the Lex at night for
my remainder of the pills which will take me thru Thursday and see
if that maybe helps anything. My stomach feels pretty “yuck” some
mornings after I take the meds so maybe before snoozing won’t bother
so much. Feels like acid reflux some days, just a “sick” feeling
for a few hours. Still…..I hate the feeling. The shortness of
breath is what is really bugging me. I have too much to do with
working and taking care of horses and child to be walking around
trying to catch my breath. Plus it’s just NOT a pleasant feeling.
I guess my only complaint with the Celexa was the afternoon
sleepiness which I considered enough of a problem to try the Lex but
now…..I think I could live with that much easier than what I am up
against now. Maybe it would wear off over time…maybe it won’t.
That’s the hard part; do I switch back or stick this out? I KNOW
how I felt on the Celexa which makes it so much easier to just say
the heck with it and switch back…which I will probably do.
Undecided….hmmmm. Nothing is ever easy is it?? I feel good
emotionally on the Lex but not as “steady” as the C.
As for the periods, join the club girl. I found that while on the
Celexa my periods got lighter and lighter…actually a PLUS for me.
The C handled the PMS after the 3rd month too while the Lex didn’t
do a thing for that this month. Of course I haven’t really given it
a chance either.
Take care,
Shauna
