I don’t think they are as often though .What surprised me at first
was the details and vividness that I remembered .I don’t remember
them as well anymore except when I get a real humdinger.
I guess it stands to reason that if you are having a very vivid ,
possibly disturbing dream, that it could make you sweat AND clench
your teeth .That seems to be another thing alot of us have in common.

seems as though I have been up and down depressed for years. A drug
will work awhile then quit. Started on 20 of Lexapro today. How long
does it take to begin to take effect?
Thanks
wow, there is a sub-culture for everything on the internet!!
I started on 10mg Lexapro about a week ago.
I’m noticiably less focused on actually killing myself, although the
persistent desire to not be alive is still there. The reality of a
life wasted and ruined is a huge thing to expect any medication to
overcome.
Anyway, has anyone experienced more vivid dreams. This has been
really annoying for me as the dreams always seem to be about my ex-
wife, who cuckold me.
Thanks, nice group of people here.

The thousand is for the lawyer .The fine would only be $150.00 but
she would have ground to threaten the dogs with .
anyway bye again and ..
Hugs all again
I know this is off topic lol but what kind of dogs do you have ? and
how many?
I guess everyone must know by now how much my dern mutts mean to
me.lol
Please say a prayer on the 13th of february .Thats the court date.The
fact that animal control has 6 statements from neighbours in my
favor ,plus a few willing to go to court,plus another 25 names from
all the people around here, and a recipt from the bridge proving i
was not in the province , and a falso complaint she files about
pooping which never mentioned barking , plus several pictures of a
stray dog at her place as well as mine……and a few other
things …….I can not see how they can possibly win but then again
this is the justice or non-justice system .
I’ll have to pay the thousand dollars but if it will shut her up and
assure she has no grounds to say i have to get rid of them then its
worth it .
Anyway nice to talk to a fellow dog nut lol.
Hugs

The 40 mg of C was taking, seemed to be the right dosage for me .I
started at 10 of C and gradually my Dr. increased that.
I think 10 mg of Lex is usually the starting dose .Some need to
increase or decrease that after awhile, but so far 10 mg seems to be
working fine .
If 10mg of L is really the equivalent of 40 C … you would think
they would start people out at lower dosages if they have never taken
C ……… do they ?

That link has alot of info about lex and explains exactly how it is
very similar in stucture to celexa it simply has some ingredients
that had no medicinal purpose in the C removed…. therefore less
side effects and lower dosages are usually the norm .
We all do react differently … but my experience is less side
effects especially memory and……. the sex part .ugh blushes .
I read the Celexa board and am new here. I’ve been up and down doses
on Celexa for about a year- 40mg seems to be good for anxiety/panic-
but seem more down on SSRI’s ( or maybe due to Xanax 2mg a day).
However, I can easily sleep 10 hrs a night, and maybe even nap early
evening an hour or 2- seems too much; also seem to procratinate-
lethargic- some trouble with getting focused on projects. Also, this
time on 40mg (after a 6 week trial of prozac) seem to have more
sexual side effects than last time on 40 C- (always an adventure,
these ssri’s 
So… the question is: how is Lexapro compare to C in regards to
helping anxiety /panic and sides of sleepiness/ lethargy/focus,
slightly down, and sex?
