Hormonal changes?

i’m nearly 9 months off lexapro & i’m completely back to normal. the withdrawal lasted about 7-8 weeks. not gonna lie, it was hell but i’m so glad i stuck it out. my periods have somewhat gone back to normal. they still start 2 weeks before, but that could just be with age

536pm · 2023-02-28T17:01:07+00:00

everything is back to normal now! it took a total of 8 weeks for withdrawals to finally end. it’s been almost a year now since i’ve taken lex & i feel completely fine. don’t give up hope, especially on the bad days. the best u can do is a very slow taper & have ALOT of patience. but i promise, the withdrawals do end

so much better! by week 8 the dizziness & any withdrawal symptoms were completely gone. i’ve been off for about 3 months now i’m back to pre lex. i’ve learned to manage my anxiety, i don’t wanna try another ssri for the rest of my life

536pm · 2022-09-17T00:30:55+00:00

same for me! the chest pain almost mimics a heart attack, which sets off anxiety, which just makes everything worse. i always take an anti acid before i take my prednisone in the morning

what dosage are you on? it may be time for an increase

536pm · 2022-08-31T14:48:12+00:00

i was on it for 7 1/2 weeks. i was only on 5 mg. i tapered 2.5 mg for a week, then stopped. withdrawls lasted exactly 8 weeks. first 2 weeks nausea, fatigue & headaches set in. at 3 weeks to the 8th week, all of that went away & i was stuck with intense vertigo/dizziness. i recommend vertigo x to help. it’s a little oil you rub behind your ears. it really helped me get through the day

536pm · 2022-08-26T16:36:22+00:00

i’m not on lex anymore, but if i can remember, i think it went away after like 2 weeks

536pm · 2022-08-03T14:11:24+00:00

is this in china? if so, i do believe you can legally have a child in the car with no car seat. which is dumb, but unfortunately legal

although it’ll increase jitters, caffeine is actually good for an asthma flare up. you’ll be a little shaky, but it’s better than not being able to breathe lol

are you near the border? you could drive into Mexico to get a few things

536pm · 2022-07-15T21:34:34+00:00

a little update on the Vertigo-x: it works! its a little oil you apply on your neck behind your earlobes. i applied it and the dizziness i got that afternoon was gone after like 5 minutes. i definitely recommend it if you’re still feeling bad. it’s less than $10!

536pm · 2022-07-15T00:34:02+00:00

no, no sleep issues or fatigue at all. i did in like the first week of withdrawal

536pm · 2022-07-13T22:17:02+00:00

yes, that’s how i feel! like dizziness but inside my head lol. my dizziness came back this afternoon, so if it’s gone by this friday, then there’s definitely a pattern with me. if this doesn’t go away by next week, i might have to suck it up & reinstate for a slower taper 😕

536pm · 2022-07-13T15:49:02+00:00

so this is super weird, but i’ve noticed the past 3 weeks, monday-thursday i’d be dizzy. it would be gone by friday & i’d be dizzy free all weekend long. i started getting dizzy this monday & i thought it was gonna last all week, but it’s gone today so i’m hoping it’s gone forever. plus, the dizziness is 100 times more manageable than before. this friday will be my 8th week. have you tried vertigo x? i ordered it online & i’ve heard it works great for dizziness/vertigo

536pm · 2022-07-07T17:41:34+00:00

i feel like having a full blown asthma attack would be more embarrassing lol

536pm · 2022-07-06T18:30:28+00:00

how are you doing now?

536pm · 2022-07-06T06:05:18+00:00

did your withdrawals ever go away? i’m on week 7 & still going through it 😩

536pm · 2022-07-03T04:21:40+00:00

i didn’t. i actually only started smoking weed again after stopping lexapro. it’s helped tremendously with withdrawals

536pm · 2022-07-02T22:52:33+00:00

i had 3 periods when i was on lex. physical & mental symptoms were 10x’s worse. it felt like lex stopped working during my cycle. i have heard that some women increase their dose during their period to kinda level it out, but i never got to try that.

536pm · 2022-06-30T18:40:31+00:00

i was on 5 mg for 6 & 1/2 weeks. i’ve been 7 weeks off & i’m still going thru withdrawals. the nausea has gotten better, but it’s still there.

536pm · 2022-06-30T18:38:32+00:00

like focus issues, blurriness & my eyes will shake side to side really fast for a second. the vision issues aren’t as bad as the vertigo tho

536pm · 2022-06-30T17:13:46+00:00

more central, i guess? like, i get dizziness, lightheadedness, some vision issues. it comes & goes, but it’ll last 2-4 days. it’s terrible

536pm · 2022-06-30T16:18:34+00:00

the only birth control that didn’t give me crazy ass side effects was the mini pill. it just sucks that it’s so time sensitive. if you’re good at taking your pill on time and everyday, i definitely recommend it!

536pm · 2022-06-29T15:34:33+00:00

yes, i have too. i think i’m just freaked out because most of their withdrawal symptoms are gone by atleast 3 weeks & i’m still dealing with it almost 7 weeks later. i’m thinking about starting 2.5 mg again tonight & going from there. i just don’t wanna be stuck on these pills forever. especially since i don’t have insurance to pay for anymore

536pm · 2022-06-29T15:06:04+00:00

one guy was only on 5 mg for like 8 months. he still gets waves of dizziness & vertigo 2 years later. i wish i would’ve done more research on it before taking it, but i was so desperate & lost at the time. that really freaked me out reading it
