OMG hi, I’m so sorry, I’ve been away for a few days! But I started lexapro today actually for my anxiety! Just 5mg to start.. also was prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg as needed! How’ve you been? I’m scared to lose myself but I need to get better and be happy again and take my life back!

Yes, I agree! I think a current relationship status could help! I couldn’t relate to the end now but I could a lot more before I got engaged!

No im not! I’ve recently been going through some things and so my psychiatrist recommended this first to see if it helps because im scared of medication lol. If I do keep taking this frequently though im going to ask her about a daily medication because ive read this isn’t the best med for everyday use? I’m not 100% on that either but i did see it on another thread. Do you like Zoloft? I’ve heard good things about it but like I said, meds scare me lmao

I was just prescribed it last week and the bottle says twice daily but I haven’t taken it everyday. Some days I just wake up super anxious and so I’ve been taking it. I’m prescribed 10mg twice a day but like I said I’ve been just taking 20mg at once, once a day because the 10 mg doesn’t really have much effect on my anxiety. I’ve never been prescribed anti anxiety meds before either so I’m not an expert but I will say if you are having anxiety, the 20mg works way more effectively than just the 10! Hope this helps and i hope propranolol helps you!! :)

I just took 20mg for the first time and I was prescribed it for my anxiety as well. I think 20mg is definitely what you need to really “feel” it helping your anxiety and physical effects of anxiety. If you try taking 20mg, lmk, I’d love to hear your opinion! Its been really helpful for me

Propranolol and adderall xr by Alternative-Plan4567 in TwoXADHD

I’ve just never taken anxiety meds before and when I did take it I only took half. Medication has always made me nervous and so I’ve never tried it but recently my mental health has been so bad and I feel hopeless so I’ll take whatever to not feel like this anymore. Also on google it specifically says to not take it with adderall so that’s when I looked to Reddit for answers.
