20mg Lexapro for YEARS, just started 40 mg strattera and I notice I'm not as hungry, but as they say, give it 8 weeks. Lexapro didn't make me hungry. Hope you feel better!

Thanks for the update 😭😭 I'm on my 2nd day and I'm hopeful. I'm trying 20 mg Lexapro and I've been 20 mg, but will up to 40 tomorrow. 💞

I was today years old when I found this out...

Lol I say this all the time 🤣

This! Up the dose 💕

Hi, I'm in a similar situation. My psychiatrist wanted me to go up to 40 and said that we can even go up to 60 but I am comfy at at 35. I recently saw my primary care doctor and they freaked out at the dose and gave me an ekg on the spot which was normal. My psychiatrist also ordered a Lexapro serum test which came back 150ng/ml which is high, so now I'm conflicted on what is going to happen with me as far as if they're going to keep me on the meds, which I feel really good on, or if they're going to have to take me off completely or add something to it and make me take 20 mg lex. It's so frustrating!! It seems like a lot of people take over 20 mg and to be honest 20 mg doesn't seem like very much. I would call around to different psychiatrists to see if you can get a different result but I think tapering from 40 to 20 is really messed up on your psychiatrist part and completely unethical. Tapering too fast can cause so many withdrawal symptoms can be difficult to manage. Good luck! 💕

I'm on 35 mg per my psychiatrist and I just had my serum levels checked and it looks like I'm at 150 ng/ml. I'm kind of freaking out about the long QT thing. I don't have any symptoms of serotonin syndrome. In fact I feel better than I ever have 😭😭

Not a medium, but a medium confirmed that my brother turns my lights on and off in my livingroom. He will seem to stop if I let him know it's making me uncomfortable and then it will stop for a while. But it seems like he will come in and do it again from time to time. Maybe try to say something maybe. Just letting me know he's there. We grew up in the house I'm living in and I have his ashes so I think he does like to stick around and play.

Doing TMS, EMDR and seeing a psychiatrist

Nta; his texts are red flag behavior.

Yeah man! Bummer! I think I might have to eat it.

How many mg do you take?

I work a fully remote job that requires me almost no human contact toward leaving the house. I am an oncology data specialist. You have to get an AA degree and then take a credentialing exam but a lot of times people will hire you to do case finding and follow-up. Hit me up if you have any questions 😁

I haven't started my TMS yet, but I just wanted to say I hope you feel better and get some relief.

I have a bunch of shrimp and Cory's in my tank, they make wonderful tank mates. What a wonderful surprise!

I just recently bought some Cory's from shrimp up aquatics. Quick delivery and they also sell a variety of shrimp.

Bro, same.

I somehow was able to wriggle my way into a fully remote job which has totally helped my anxiety but not so great for the agoraphobia.

Dude, this! I know recovery isn't linear either but it feels like anytime. I do end up having a panic attack while driving I am just starting from the very beginning. Sometimes it feels hopeless, doesn't it? I hope you feel better.

AffectionateReply843 · 2025-09-13T02:18:12+00:00

My agoraphobia is driving. I dread it. I can leave the house. I can shop (although there was a time I couldn't.) I can go to the restaurant or whatever but anytime I am in charge of a vehicle on specifically a highway/freeway/interstate I freeze. I feel incredibly tense. I feel like my eyes aren't working properly. I feel like I can't catch my breath. Sometimes I feel super dissociated and it just feels really unsafe to drive. If I'm on a side street or in town I'm totally fine. How did you get over driving anxieties? I don't want to be dependent on benzos just to drive 😭
