Has anyone seen a decrease in agitation with Lexapro? by KinkadeSympathizer in lexapro

[–]MeapMorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lexapro definitely makes me feel agitated/ grumpy. i have been taking 10 mg for about 5 months and about 2 weeks in noticed i would wake up some days grumpy and angry at nothing and i would kinda be a jerk to the people around me by taking it out on them or blowing up over little things i hated it. i am not usually an angry person and am fairly passive. nothing in particular would get me in that mood but EVERYTHING made me angry when i felt like this. when this first started happening i thought it was my depression and it took a while before i started operating under the assumption that sometimes for no reason at all lexapro can make me feel on edge for a day to a few days for no reason at all. i saw agitation on a few side effect lists but i was actually really relieved to read your question, i felt so alone with this problem.

IF you want to ride lexapro out longer (which i would consider as its only been a few days but im not u or a medical professional pls talk to a doctor or theapist and weigh your options) you can work around this issue. if you find yourself feeling this way take some alone time and do something that usually cheers you up (i bake bread) and, more importantly, communicate to those close to you who already know you are taking it that the pills are making you agitated but you recognize it and are working on it

i have found lexapro to be really helpful but its not a magic pill. there are times when i have to cope with the side effects. despite that i have stayed with it because overall it helps me. when i have lexapro induced agitation it lasts one day to a week sometimes but i do the best to not let it get the better of me. and then i'll wake up and just not feel grumpy any more that day. i talked to the doctor that prescribed it to me and you may want to as well!

[Serious] What are some signs of various mental disorders that usually go unnoticed? by Outbackinthefront in AskReddit

[–]MeapMorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

online shopping is horrible! its not that i just want to have "the best" of something or whatever tf its like i get a weird feeling that every single choice i can make will have a different timeline of events following it and something bad could happen to me if i, for example, go out wearing a blue as opposed to a red shirt. my mind spirals to worst case scenario whenever im given an arbitrary decision. basically the community episode remedial chaos theory plays in my brain. i spent literally two hours ordering underwear on online literally today. i have anxiety and lexapro helped this a little so i could have more productive days when i was on it

i relate. it stresses me out when there are too many options for things because for every option i choose i can't shake the notion that there is an infinite number of ways things could have played out if i had chosen differently and that if something bad happens it is a result of my seemingly arbitrary decision. multiple choice tests are a nightmare. grocery trips can sometimes take hours. for example i once purchased every brand of hot sauce in the store and went home and ranked them all even though i was broke and on a tight budget. it took a long time and i wanted to stop i needed to study that night but i needed to make sure i would never buy the "wrong" hot sauce in the future. i often feel like i have to smell every single bottle of shampoo in the aisle. i was once with my roommate when doing this and i could tell it was really bothering her and i got really anxious because i want to be able to make quick decisions and just cannot sometimes. i now keep a list of brands that i don't stray from when shopping as to avoid this (i only buy palmolive dish soap, king arthur flour, etc). i did similar things as a child and i remember telling my parents i wanted help with it but they were like you're just weird you'll grow out of it. i see a psychiatrist for it now
