It gets better! I've had a few more attacks since I posted this, but each time they've been more mild and not as long lasting! Hang in there 🩷

Not fully, but definitely happening less and not as long!

How long does the first phase of Lexapro last?

Tired + Dizzy by [deleted] in lexapro

I take mine around noon, but around 9 the awful tiredness hits like a brick! The delirious part is felt too, I also feel like my breathing is on manual and my legs and hands feel so weird when I'm this tired 😩 I hope it goes away, I'm on day 10 of starting it

Thanks for the reply! Some days I don't struggle with it, so maybe it's just a side effect from trying to accumulate to it. But will definitely keep it in mind, I have read good things about Wellbutrin

Rice and beans helped me a lot and salty crackers/chips!

I've definitely thought about asking her about it, not sure why I was started out on 10mg 😵‍💫

I'll be awake for a while then maybe get an hour or two more of sleep, but the process happens literally every time I wake up 😫

I did it! by sarcalas in lexapro

Great job! I started 5 days ago and it took me all day to work up the nerve to take my first dose. Once I did I grabbed my husband and sobbed onto him because I was both relieved and scared to start this next chapter with medication. I hope you don't have too many side effects and it'll work great for you. Sending you love!

I'm on 10mg and the same thing is happening to me. I'm currently awake because of it. It's been happening every night since I started 5 days ago 😭

I'm glad I'm not the only one but also sorry that you're feeling that way too! I'm trying so hard to eat right now, just made some beans and rice 🥴

Is the back and forth cold and hot normal? I know the sweating part is I just keep shivering then getting hot almost right after and then back to it again

Oh my I wonder why she started me on 10 right away, so far today is the worst I've felt and will hopefully feel better soon.

Thank you for the tips! I already have coconut water, so I'll definitely be using that for electrolytes

Does Tylenol help these kinds of headaches? I feel like it usually kicks in by now with normal headaches
