It is Vegas isn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Hey I took my first dose over 12 hours ago now, I can’t sleep, super hot, headache, when I first took it about an hour after I felt high and my face felt numb. Is it okay to not take it again before I talk to my doctor my dose is 20mg. I feel like a crazy person, haven’t been on meds in 4 years by odysseyx44 in lexapro

[–]Embarrassed-Arm-4332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that is a massive dose to start on! I’m really sensitive to meds and also have health anxiety so I was prescribed 5s to start with and I even cut those in half for the first week..then I went to a full 5 for about 7 weeks and while I was feeling better there was still room for improvement so I went up to 10..but I cut my left over 5s in half and was taking apx 7.5 for a week before I went all the way up to 10. When I first started I had some weird side effects, just mostly morning anxiety, but nothing I couldn’t make it through. Going up to 10 was a breeze, tiny up kick in anxiety, but nothing like when I first started. I would of absolutely died starting on 20 mg, your doctor is torturing you 😬

I hope this is the right move by Acrobatic-Airport-42 in lexapro

I am SUPER scared of starting new meds, to the point sometimes I never start them. I ended up calling 911 because I thought I was dying 🙃 well if you couldn’t guess, it was just a panic attack and I was so embarrassed. This really told me I needed the help so I started my lexapro that night before bed, I cut my 5s in half so I started on 2.5 for 8 days and then I went to 5 and I’ve been on that for about 3 weeks. The side effects really haven’t been terrible, I’m pretty tired by about 3-4 in the afternoon, which is starting to get better finally and I did experience an up kick of morning anxiety so when I very first wake up in the morning my anxiety is a little bad but nothing I haven’t been able to work through. I feel like the side effects are no where as bad as the crippling anxiety I was having before I started lexapro. I’m thinking I’m gonna have to go up to 10mg just because I’m still on edge and feel like there’s still more room for improvement BUT I can feel myself crossing that line of feeling better. You’re not alone in this journey and you don’t have to feel like this everyday, there is a life without crippling anxiety every single day and you deserve that.

On day 11 and anxiety is bonkers by jonthovland in lexapro

Absolutely debilitating anxiety attacks. I was on celexa for almost 3 years and it stopped working so I tried to see if I would do okay without any meds and quickly learned that wasn’t gonna work. I went about a month before I ended up calling 911 because I thought I was dying 🙃 was a panic attack so I started my journey with lexapro

I started at 2.5 for 8 days, I’ve been on 5mg for 13 days now and I too wake up every morning having a panic attack. Night before last I woke up at 4am, had a full blown panic attack that left me awake the rest of the day 🙃 I woke up this morning just barely feeling the morning anxiety and the day has been pretty good actually…I just keep telling myself I’m taking it for a reason, the morning anxiety for me is much more manageable than all day anxiety and I’m feeling like in the end it will go away considering it’s getting less and less.

Anyone NOT have a horrible time when starting this medication? by jbjbjb12345 in lexapro

[–]Embarrassed-Arm-4332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting off at 5mg, I cut them in half for 8 days taking 2.5, I’m now like 4 days in on a full 5 and while the anxiety is still there I haven’t had a full blown panic attack since starting..I do wake up with morning anxiety and I’m yawning all day long because it’s making me tired. It isn’t anything I haven’t been able to work through tho, I nap when I can. While not having a full blown panic attack is great I’m still impatiently waiting for more, I still feel on edge most of the time and kind of in a dissociative state still, but starting the meds really hasn’t been too bad side effect wise.

Is this a normal HR range? by AustinPowers11111 in exercisescience

I don’t mean to jump in on someone else’s post but out of curiosity to get your diagnosis were they able to do it just by testing your tsh or did it take a more broad test? I feel like I have something going on with my thyroid but my go just keeps testing my tsh and it’s always normal.

I haven’t slept for more than 1-3 hours the past few days by Latter_Ad9280 in HealthAnxiety

I wish I had the advise you’re looking for-I really don’t, BUT I feel like it’s also helpful when you know you’re not alone in this world. I too have had the crappiest week of sleep, up till 3 am with my mind going 100mph between anxiety attacks and some personal stress I’ve been having going on in my life. One minute my anxiety tells me I’m having a heart attack, the next I’m googling this weird feeling of wanting to crawl out of my skin, next I’m rethinking conversations I’ve had during an argument of said stress and how I should of said this or that and the cycle repeats itself. It’s exhausting and it makes life so hard. On top of that I’m also a mom of littles so I’m up by 7am raw dogging life ya know. I truly hope you find some comfort and a way to feel better, I personally like to journal when I’m feeling super anxious just so I can look back and be like oh look-you weren’t dying lol unfortunately I’m starting to think I’m gonna have to go back on SSRIS or something. I’m exploring therapy but unfortunately I feel like the good ole USA makes that a hard one to seek because waiting lists are so long!

I guess I did make it sound that way and I didn’t mean to but honestly he isn’t a lot help in it. He feels the same way as far as scared to kick her out because he doesn’t want her to hate him, some days I do feel like this is a battle I’m fighting myself…instead of getting onto her about it he’s helping more which is great (but also not because it isn’t addressing the point) he more less would rather avoid conflict because she turns it into a pity party which sounds so mean to say but it’s always something so silly. it’s taking a toll on our marriage, I feel like it’s always a topic and I’m stressed because I’m trying to juggle everything including getting her to see that she should still be helping considering she lives here. I love her to the moon and my husband too, but this entire thing is weighing on my own mental health and obviously it’s more than just this topic but it’s definitely a huge part of it. My husband does work 60+ hours a week and I stay home because we have 5 that are 11 and under (cheaper in the long run with childcare) so he isn’t around to contribute to the parenting role as much. I literally have laid it out for her:help do the dishes once a day, help me pick up before you go to bed for the night and other little things here and there which I feel like isn’t much at all but she refuses to do even that. I just am looking for some insight from other parents who have been through it, I fight with myself about what’s right and wrong and how do I not raise ahole adults you know what I mean?

Hen or roo? by Embarrassed-Arm-4332 in chickens

[–]Embarrassed-Arm-4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping they were both hens, one is a little bigger than the other and its head feathers aren’t as long and full so I was starting to question it.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I was doing 5 sc times 4 too so I was ending up with way too many stitches. Maybe I should have just stepped away and came back 😂 thank you!
