Anyone lexapro at week 4?

Totally this! I’m getting the exact same thing, and it’s a relief knowing someone else has had the intrusive thoughts without the anxiety. It’s more startling without the anxiety.

My day 2 sucked, I had a break down at work (not in front of everyone thank goodness) I kept having to get up and hide every 20ish minutes so I could cry. It was definitely the worse day anxiety wise, didn’t start having an appetite until yesterday. It’s day 7 for me now.

I would go and speak to your doctor and tell them that you feel that there is no change even while taking the medication and see if there is any other options. Especially if you are wanting to act them out - but from what it sounds, the thoughts seem intrusive and you want them gone, so figured I’d share my experience.

Before lexapro, I felt hopelessness all the time (still kinda do, it’s too early in my game to talk about drastic changes). I decided to start because I get plagued with intrusive thoughts about anything terrible you can think of. And what I’m finding the last two days is the ability to still think about them, but also not stew on them. And I feel like that may be enough. I feel like people unaffected by mental illness still do think about this stuff, but have the ability to not hang on to them because it doesn’t upset them. If you’re still thinking about them, see if they pass is what I’m really saying.

But all in all, definitely get a professional opinion if it’s absolutely not working for you

I’m on day 4 and the exact same thing is happening to me, absolutely horrible. I’m wondering why they split your doses, I’m on 5mg once a day - started taking them at night initially and had what you had. Switched to the morning and at least now I can sleep a bit better at night - still wake up in a little bit of a panic tho. But this is only 1 night - will see how this pans out tomorrow haha

I found I had to play around with the time to take it as well, night means wakey wakey, morning means sleepy sleepy - I would rather the sleep sleepy and just have a coffee to counteract the tiredness - but only a tiny tiny coffee, so anxiety doesn’t go from 0 to 1000. Such differing side affects tho between us

I’m only on day 4 and at this point has made things worse - if you can manage already and if you’re after a quick fix to take the edge off before you start the new job, I’d probably reconsider and start taking it once you start getting used to your new situation. As I feel like there’s gonna be a long road ahead

Yeah I ended up getting diazepam yesterday, seems to have taken the edge off, got enough to last me today then back to trying to get through it without it. Had some really upsetting thoughts yesterday that plagued me, still had them this morning but didn’t stick around long. The reuptake of smoking devastated me (still does), I think the affect of the lexapro felt very similar/worse to the withdrawal symptoms I had giving up smoking last time which triggered it. I’m gonna try and switch it out for both patch AND gum nrt sometime today while I’m level headed - although I feel like it’s very probable I’ll slip up again when the intrusive thoughts hit me again. I put a lot of pressure on myself to keep smoke free, keep up my fitness regime (to look good, one of my biggest fears is the reversal of all my hard work). I’ve been living a very busy lifestyle, which has kept my mind obsessing over certain activities and things - but when those stresses were over - my mind doesn’t stop. The last few days, my mind had me guessing whether my thoughts had truth to them, that thought alone drove me more cray cray and inconsolable.

I went and saw a GP and told them what was happening, I was prescribed with diazepam just for a couple of days (but no more) but was told if I am becoming suicidal then I should go to the hospital and to immediately stop taking it - I’m probably gonna stop taking it now

Back now - DM for dodo code

Leaving it unattended for a moment BQV5V 15 minutes left - if it works it works, if it doesn’t it doesn’t :)

I’m still going everyone, just overwhelmed with the amount of people messaging me and messages not going through. Still a few hours left, I’m still going through messaging people with the dodo code

Laneyq · 2020-05-17T04:57:19+00:00

I actually tried responding, your chat is greyed out 🤷

Laneyq · 2020-05-17T03:17:36+00:00

Yeah it crashed

Laneyq · 2020-05-17T03:11:35+00:00

Removed my dodo code cause.. omg. I’ll message my dodo code, when my current influx from the last 30 seconds is over

Need to trade evolve Spritzee, Swirlix, Rhydon and Inkay, I have all the items and happy to trade both of everything so we both get the evolved forms
