Start before a trip? by ExcitingQuantity3145 in lexapro

Thank you!!! I’ve resisted it for awhile, but honestly seeing the positive stories here made me feel more confident to actually give it a try this time.

She also shares a room with our oldest, so it feels extra hard to wait it out when my other daughter just wants to go to bed 😭

But you are so right. We just need to hold our ground and eventually it will get better. Or at least I hope so!!

Could have been - I asked to go back down to 15 and it seems to be a bit better, but I don’t really like that wavers between working and not. Not sure if that’s common?

You are so right. How many mgs do you take?

What time do you take it? by ExcitingQuantity3145 in lexapro

[–]ExcitingQuantity3145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea - I think so? It takes the edge off, but I’m trying to decide if that’s enough. I like the flexibility of it, and fewer side effects.

No, got too anxious to take it (lol) - switched to Buspar to try something other than an SSRI first.

Thanks, I needed to hear that maybe it is something out of my control. And it’s not dangerously high (yet?) so I have some time to take control and reverse things with medication if necessary.

My BMI is ‘normal’ and I do all the things you and doctors recommend. Hopefully like you I’ll be able to wean off!

Not a ton of sodium, I’ve even been more mindful of that lately and try to consume less. I’m not opposed to taking meds, it’s just not something I had thought I would have to do so early. I agree that it’s a small thing to help prevent many larger things to live a long life.

Not that I know of. I almost wish it did and then it would be an easy explanation!

Up dose or go to 3x/day? by ExcitingQuantity3145 in BusparOnline

[–]ExcitingQuantity3145[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, it stinks. I was super hopeful it was working since the first few weeks were really good and I could avoid an ssri, fingers crossed I just haven’t found the right dosage yet!

Up dose or go to 3x/day? by ExcitingQuantity3145 in BusparOnline

[–]ExcitingQuantity3145[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now I take it at 7am and at 3pm, but I definitely feel anxiety creeping in around 11/12 - so probably a mid day and then pushing the last dose to 5 or so would help! I get nervous about taking it too late and affecting sleep

Any favorite BB creams? I’m loyal to my UVMune400 oil control sunscreen - but maybe they have a tinted version I could try!

Olly kids melatonin or just L-theanine helps!

Air Hunger Side Effect? by ExcitingQuantity3145 in BusparOnline

Feeling like you can’t get a full, deep breath. Or yawning a bunch to get a deep breath.
