All about Lexapro

Hi,
I’m A Mess. Actually, my name is Angela, but sometimes I really
feel like I should change my name to I’m A Mess. I’ve had anxiety
attacks for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, although back
then I didn’t know what was happening. All I knew was that something
was happening to me, and I was afraid that if I told anyone, they
would take me to the hospital. I have always had a very intense fear
of hospitals and anything medical. I’m in my mid-30’s now, and that
fear is as intense now as it was back then. And now, to make matters
worse, I have developed severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I’ve had
it for about ten years now, but it has steadily gotten worse and
worse. I feel like I have every worry and fear known to man. I worry
constantly about absolutely everything. I worry about everything and
everyone. I feel so angry at myself sometimes because I can’t seem to
stop my fears and my worrying from preventing me from living a normal
life. My present problem is my medication. I asked my doctor to please
give me something to help me with my Generalized Anxiety Disorder
because I really do want to feel better and to feel at least somewhat
normal again…and now I can’t make myself take it. He gave me a
prescription for Lexapro. I am terrified of the possible side effects.
I guess my first mistake was reading that little paper that they
always put in the bag with any prescription you get which lists every
possible side effect, no matter how remote. I got up this morning all
set and ready to take it. I was going to start taking it yesterday
because it was the first day of a brand new month. Well, I’ve sat here
all day yesterday and today wanting to take it but terrified of what’s
going to happen to me if I do, which of course, has made my anxiety
level very high today. And now that it’s almost nighttime, I’m afraid
to take it for fear of not waking up in the morning. Also, I take .25
of Xanax twice a day, and I’m afraid of taking the Lexapro and the
Xanax anytime even remotely close to each other. In other words, I am
a complete, all-around mess. I want very badly to take this medicine
knowing that it might possibly help make me feel better, yet I just
can’t seem to get past the fear of what might happen if I do take it.
It just feels like a big circle. My intentions are good, but I always
seem to end up right back where I started, sitting here, afraid. I
want very much to get past this, but I just don’t seem to know how.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Angela

What is Islam¿
ISLAM AND MUSLIM
The name of this religion is Islam, the root of which is Silm and Salam which
means peace. Salam may also mean greeting one another with peace. One of the
beautiful names of God is that He is the Peace. It means more than that:
submission to the One God, and to live in peace with the Creator, within one’s
self, with other people and with the environment. Thus, Islam is a total system
of living. A Muslim is supposed to live in peace and harmony with all these
segments; hence, a Muslim is any person anywhere in the world whose obedience,
allegiance, and loyalty are to God, the Lord of the Universe.
MUSLIMS AND ARAB
The followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are not to be confused with
Arabs. Muslims may be Arabs, Turks, Persians, Indians, Pakistanis, Malaysians,
Indonesians, Europeans, Africans, Americans, Chinese, or other nationalities.
An Arab could be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or an atheist. Any person who
adopts the Arabic language is called an Arab. However, the language of the
Qur’an (the Holy Book of Islam) is Arabic. Muslims all over the world try to
learn Arabic so that they may be able to read the Qur’an and understand its
meaning. They pray in the language of the Qur’an, namely Arabic. Supplications
to God could be in any language.
While there are one billion Muslims in the world there are about 200 million
Arabs. Among them, approximately ten percent are not Muslims. Thus Arab Muslims
constitute only about twenty percent of the Muslim population of the world.
-
ALLAH THE ONE AND THE ONLY GOD
Muslims believe that Allah is the name of the One and Only God. He is the
Creator of all human beings. He is the God for the Christians, the Jews, the
Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the atheists, and others. Muslims worship
God whose name is Allah. They put their trust in Him and they seek His help and
His guidance.
MUHAMMAD
Muhammad was chosen by God to deliver His Message of Peace, namely Islam. He was
born in 570 C.E. (Common Era) in Makkah, Arabia. He was entrusted with the
Message of Islam when he was at the age of forty years. The revelation that he
received is called the Qur’an, while the message is called Islam.
Muhammad is the very last Prophet of God to mankind. He is the final Messenger
of God. His message was and is still to the Christians, the Jews and the rest of
mankind. He was sent to those religious people to inform them about the true
mission of Jesus, Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham.
Muhammad is considered to be the summation and the culmination of all the
prophets and messengers that came before him. He purified the previous messages
from adulteration and completed the Message of God for all humanity. He was
entrusted with the power of explaining, interpreting and living the teaching of
the Qur’an.
NON-MUSLIMS
Muslims are required to respect all those who are faithful and God conscious
people, namely those who received messages. Christians and Jews are called
People of the Book. Muslims are asked to call upon the People of the Book for
common terms, namely, to worship One God, and to work together for the solutions
of the many problems in the society.
Christians and Jews lived peacefully with Muslims throughout centuries in the
Middle East and other Asian and African countries. The second Caliph Umar, did
not pray in the church in Jerusalem so as not to give the Muslims an excuse to
take it over. Christians entrusted the Muslims, and as such the key of the
Church in Jerusalem is still in the hands of the Muslims.
Jews fled from Spain during the Inquisition, and they were welcomed by the
Muslims. They settled in the heart of the Islamic Caliphate. They enjoyed
positions of power and authority.
Throughout the Muslim world, churches, synagogues and missionary schools were
built within the Muslim neighborhoods. These places were protected by Muslims
even during the contemporary crises in the Middle East

Hi group
I’ve been on lexapro for 10 months and I’m having anxiety in the
afternoon. Just wondered if anyone else has been on lexapro longer than
this? And has it continued to work for you?
Becky

Hi Group! Richard here in Chicago. Been diagnosed with depression,
OCD,and generalized anxiety disorder for more than 15 years. On
Lexapro, Wellbutrin XL and Neurontin. I see my Psychiatrist for a
med ck and 20 minutes of talk every 6 weeks. But I also see a Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist every week for 50 minutes.
I was seeing a therapist long before I ever went to a Psychiatrist
or got on meds. It was because of my ongoing depression and
alcoholism that I went to see a Psychiatrist. The help I get from
working through my issues with a therapist is immense!! I could
never do this on just meds alone; and a good Psych/MD would hardly
ever recommend just meds alone without talk therapy. A pill cannot
help you deal with all your underlying emotions, fears, issues,
etc. — is just can’t!!
Has anyone had experience with taking Sam-e?? I am recovering from
back surgery and my Rehab Dr. recommends it for arthritic / joint
pain. Also I read that it has great anti-depressant effects. It
looks to be fairly expensive; so I would appreciate hearing from
someone who has taken it before I spend the mone.
Finally as far as the man with the very very BIG EGO!!! is
concerned, I recommend that he put himself on CRUISE CONTROL!!
Peace.

Allah (God)
Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God).
The name Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many
Christians may think; Allah is the personal name of God.
What do Muslims believe about Allah?
1. He is the one God, Who has no partner.
2. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His
creation.
3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just.
4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides
Him.
5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when
nothing else remains.
6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful,the Supreme, the Sovereign.
7. It is only He Who is capable of granting life to anything.
8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.
9. He sent Muhammad (pbuh) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.
10. His book is the Holy Qur’an, the only authentic revealed book in the world
that has been kept without change.
11. Allah knows what is in our hearts.

I keep reading about Lexapro and Celexa being used as antidepressants.
Lexapro was recommended to me months ago to help me calm down tics and
itching which I was assured is caused by OCD. But I really haven’t seen any
information from anyone regarding Lexapro being prescribed for these things.
I hate to add any more medicines to what I already take. I have Tourette’s
which is the cause of the tics, but I don’t think being in a stupor from an
antidepressant to stop the itching is the answer. Does anyone know anyone
with Tourette’s? I belong to a Tourette’s chat group in addition to this one,
but
this one is geared specifically to Lexapro, which is why I joined it first. I
tried
ONE a long time ago and I didn’t like the side effect, so I didn’t pursue it. I
go
back to my doctor in late July and I would like to tell him what other people
say and feel about Lexapro. I will have to decide then what to do.
Thanks, anyone and everyone.
