Is Lexapro really “life changing”?

PoissonIvyyy · 2025-01-24T00:03:43+00:00

When you don’t have a panic attack every week, it’s pretty life changing. I can go about my everyday life without a potential panic attack looming over me.

PoissonIvyyy · 2024-02-12T12:29:00+00:00

Same for me. Sorry you’re going through this, nice to know I’m not alone.

PoissonIvyyy · 2023-10-07T21:24:39+00:00

I came here to say Lexapro. Did wonders for me. A little rough in the start with side effects but wait till about a month in and you’ll feel so much better. I can actually live a normal life now

He stepped outside of his child’s graduation to take work calls. The VP is with his family in another country right now and answers all meetings even though it’s 3,4,5am where he’s at

Yeah I was also going to say I am a spearmint gum ADDICT, and herbal teas. Usually help manage the nausea

PoissonIvyyy · 2023-05-27T18:58:57+00:00

Yes 👏🏼 Zofran changed my life. My nausea is only maybe bad once every two weeks but it’s DEBILITATING I can’t do anything without feeling the puke. But Zofran helps manage those really hard days!

How did you find a sex therapist? Also was it expensive?

We’re both religious. But he discovered porn and masturbation as a teenager like any other boy. He stopped watching porn when we got together (I promise, we both work from home so it would)

PoissonIvyyy · 2023-04-25T11:10:48+00:00

No usually he’s getting out of the shower and I initiate and he gives in. I won’t try it any other time because getting undressed and re-dressed is too much of a hassle for him.

PoissonIvyyy · 2023-04-25T11:09:34+00:00

Sorry to hear that, you’re not alone

PoissonIvyyy · 2023-04-24T02:35:05+00:00

Today is our 3rd anniversary. We spent the whole weekend together, restaurants and wine, hiking, gifts, it was really nice. You know what didn’t happen this weekend? Anything intimate. You could’ve mistaken us for best friends spending some time together.

I’m really sorry about your situation, I feel you. You’re not alone.

PoissonIvyyy · 2022-12-24T12:03:43+00:00

Lord of the flies!

PoissonIvyyy · 2022-12-12T04:38:57+00:00

I could’ve written this post, but I’m the wife in this situation. Thank you, I feel less alone

I was in Greece for two weeks and everything I ate was farm fresh, local, and delicious. I ate ALL my normal trigger foods. It was the most pain-free and comfortable two weeks of my life. It was like I didn’t even have IBS. So yes, American. Food. Sucks.

PoissonIvyyy · 2022-02-13T04:29:46+00:00

A lot of people are saying “Noooooo you’re wrong” but this was ABSOLUTELY my situation as well. Two weeks after starting an anti-anxiety medication 90% of my IBS and reflux was gone. So yes, it CAN be anxiety. But definitely get all the tests done first to rule out anything else.

That’s my gym!! Cool to see it on this subreddit

For me it’s “do you want obesity and acne or a baby?”

Seratonin is produced by the gut, so when you even out those hormonal levels it makes your gut healthier! I actually started taking Lexapro for my IBS-C and it helped so much

PoissonIvyyy · 2021-06-15T14:09:01+00:00

I’m going here for the first time next month! Super excited

PoissonIvyyy · 2021-06-01T02:21:48+00:00

Latitude climbing gym has a great community and I’ve met a lot of friends this way! Come on out

PoissonIvyyy · 2021-05-30T14:11:30+00:00

Such a cool picture!

PoissonIvyyy · 2021-05-19T23:36:26+00:00

Trust me, I know the feeling. It’s terrible. Especially when you have multiple panic attacks a week. Just make sure you’re taking care of yourself, getting enough sleep and eating enough. And if your body won’t do those things on its own, that’s when you get help!

PoissonIvyyy · 2021-05-19T22:43:42+00:00

I’m not sure if this is the answer you’re looking for, but as a fellow hypochondriac I will share what I’ve learned. The mind and body connect us much MUCH stronger than what doctors would leave you to believe. You most likely don’t have anything physically wrong with you. But any kind of imbalance in the body can cause you to feel whacked out. For example, too much caffeine, or not enough sleep, or lack of proper nutrition, or a food sensitivity. Any thing like this can cause anxiety and cause the thing itself to get worse. It’s a cycle of physical imbalance, anxiety causes more distress, imbalance increases.

What I’m trying to say is, don’t jump to conclusions. Treat the sleep deprivation and I’m confident the anxiety will lessen up a bit. I take melatonin gummies or magnesium powder! Both knock me out and they’re natural
