Let’s rap…LOL
Hey everyone - thanx for responding to my pill-cutting post, etc 
Thumbnails
work,
i’ve found, (if you have them) - Thanks!
I think my body has gotten pretty used to this drug pretty fast - I have only
had the
effect of being a little drowsy and a little bit more of an insomniac than I
usually
am (oh, who am I kidding, I just ran out of Ambien a couple of days ago…it’s
probably not even Lexapro-related…)
But, being new to the whole SSRI thing, i just wonder how to gauge how well it’s
working. I don’t have panic attacks, unless I am trying to get to sleep. I
vaguely
remember being irritable and joyless and frustrated - almost “cursed” - all the
time, as little as 2 weeks ago. My general feeling now, is that I still feel
like the
world is out to get me a little, I just don’t care quite as much.
I still have depressed thoughts, but am absent of the enraged feelings that go
with
them.
How long before it started to “work” for most of you? And by “working”, I mean,
do
any of you truly feel happier, or just more functional?
How long before most side effects show up - have I weathered the storm, or are
there still more coming?
I know all people react to meds differently - if there is anything I’ve learned
from
reading all your posts, this is it. All of you have elected to take Lex, at a
doctor’s
recommendation, and I am hoping to hear some of your experiences.
Any input is welcome, appreciated even…
