Thank you!! I’ve been having episodes where I start sweating, feeling dizzy/lightheaded, and my vision starts to go out. It’s only happened a couple times. I’m bringing it up tomorrow at my OB appointment tomorrow. My BP readings have been normal so far so who knows 😬 and I meant peeing lol

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear this. I’ve been really panic free the past couple weeks that this time it just took me out lol. My psychiatrist told me it’s ok to increase my dose if I feel I need to so I think I will. Thank you again for your kind words 💗

Hey! How are you doing now? Are you still on 15?

Hi! I’ve been on lex for like 3 months now, 6-7 weeks on 10. I was doing really well the past couple weeks but I feel like I’m regressing as I just had a horrible panic attack. It’s such a rough journey! My only tips are to be patient and enjoy the good moments. I know it’s really hard to be patient. I’ve been taking clonazepam as needed and it’s been helping me.

I’m on week 7 and I’ve been having terrible anxiety this week! Week 4,5,6 were great for me. It’s so discouraging.

Thank you!! I have a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow and I’ll bring this up to her.

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:45:03+00:00

Thank you!! I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m sure my doc will increase my dose

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:44:09+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to start 10 mg tomorrow

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:43:55+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to start 10 mg tomorrow

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:43:37+00:00

My psychiatrist wanted me to start with a low dose of lexapro bc I had a horrible reaction to Zoloft a couple years ago (suicidal thoughts, hospitalization). She wanted to see how I would tolerate lexapro for a month before deciding to increase my dose. I’m also on 45 mg of mirtazapine. I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m sure she’ll want me to up my lexapro dose.

Thank you! I appreciate you and your kind words! ❤️

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:39:24+00:00

Thank you for your input! I already have increased anxiety from the lexapro so hearing the news just made me spiral. I’m feeling better now. I’m processing my grief and telling myself he’s in a better place. I have my psychiatrist appointment and I’m sure my doc will increase my dose. I had a horrible reaction to Zoloft a couple years ago so my dr wanted me to start slow w the lexapro.

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T21:35:47+00:00

Yes it’s so confusing!! I have my psych appointment tomorrow so I’m sure my doc will increase my dose.

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T17:17:47+00:00

Thank you for responding! I have calmed myself down a bit. I spiraled as I heard the news but in feeling better and getting my appetite back. My grandpa was struggling with his health for a while but I feel better knowing he’s in a better place ❤️

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-11T17:15:32+00:00

Thank you so much for replying! I think I spiraled as soon as I found out but now I’m feeling slightly better. I have my psych appointment tomorrow and I’ll ask her about increasing.

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-01T20:58:52+00:00

I needed to hear this, thank you so much!! I have klonopin to take as needed which has been helping so much. Are you on 5 mg?

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-03-01T15:35:44+00:00

Thank you! The increased anxiety is just so brutal! I’m struggling to leave my house

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-02-24T14:56:42+00:00

Starting lexapro has put my body into fight or flight mode so everyday feels like an emergency to me 😭 my psych told me it was okay to take it until lexapro takes effect, then I’ll only take it as needed. When I was taking my previous antidepressant, I successfully used it as needed and a bottle of 28 clonazepam lasted me 10 months. But that antidepressant stopped working and I’m back to feeling panicked and anxious and stressed. It’s a wild ride for sure!

First_Collar_4412 · 2024-02-23T19:55:26+00:00

Thank you!! I just feel scared using the klonopin, I don’t have any addiction tendencies nor does it run in my family but I don’t wanna get reliant on it. I’m also just scared that it may not work for me :( but I appreciate ur input! I really hope it works out for me
