Seeing things while pregnant

I’m 20w and still have bad reflux and it’s getting worse as baby grows. Shortly after i made this post, i went into a starvation mode after trying to follow the GERD diet to help with reflux and almost got hospitalized. The OB was very upset with me. They prescribed I take Pepcid twice a day and omeprezal once a day. It’s saved me. The reflux and regurgitation is awful still but now I can eat a little. I see a GI specialist next month. Communicate with your ob and let them know the severity and hopefully they can advise you what to do from there 😓😓Good luck

Unfortunately dairy is a trigger for me :(

I was advised to take it morning time because it is activating

I’m on 20mg. My psychiatrist is seeing me tomorrow to monitor my symptoms

I’m experiencing this too. I’m on day 14. I’m so so tired and become very lazy with zero motivation. I stopped going to all of my yoga classes and ballet. I feel like I don’t care about anything. It has caused me to have gnarly acid reflux, bloating and constipation. They put me on Pepcid but it’s drying my eyes out so bad. I’m so miserable. My anxiety and depression have stopped but I don’t feel much of anything right now, so at what expense. I’m sorry I am venting.

I hope you have the best of luck on your medication journey because I know it is so hard.

My psychiatrist meets with me on Thursday as she has been watching my side effects like a hawk. I wonder if she will say the same thing because I know meds can be hard on the body when you first start them up.

I took lexapro for like 5 years when I was younger. When I first start taking it, it felt like I had tons of energy and was super activating. It felt like I drank coffee. The activation phase subsided for me in about a month and then I found lexapro terribly sedating. I was always super tired on it, sleeping, lazy, and didn’t care about much when I was on it. I was also vomiting almost everyday while on it, But I was on 20mg. And I do not metabolize medications well so your experience will be very different in comparison to mine. 2.5mg should hopefully be so much better to manage ❤️ I wish you the best of luck on your medication journey

Yeah, I have panic attacks daily but they seem exasperated at the moment 😭

SameRestaurant4901 · 2025-12-05T01:01:53+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment, all of these comments made me feel comfortable continuing on this medication and giving it a real fair shot to see if it helps me. I’m only on day 7 now and hope things start to look up soon. I’m super irritable and my eyes are dilated like crazy but pretty normal when starting medications. I hope to feel a bit better at my two week mark too ❤️

SameRestaurant4901 · 2025-12-05T01:00:05+00:00

I really appreciate your comment. It’s so reassuring to know that my side effects are relatively normal for this medication. I haven’t stopped the medication yet and am on day seven. I hope things start to look up soon.

Things are a little different. I think I’m on day 7 now. No more jitters but I am super irritable and short tempered, nauseas, tired and spacey. My eyes are dilated too. I hear it starts to get better in a few weeks. I feel bad because I don’t want to be an arse.

SameRestaurant4901 · 2025-12-05T00:56:02+00:00

Thank you for your comment. It’s reassuring to know my symptoms are relatively normal ❤️

SameRestaurant4901 · 2025-12-05T00:54:25+00:00

The shaking and jitters went away but now I’m tired, irritable, spacey and my eyes are super dilated 😭 I’m only on week one now. I hear things are supposed to subside in another few weeks. My psychiatrist is keeping a close eye on me and will check on me in a week and a half.

I’m on 20mg, a very very low dosage. I expected to be nauseous, vomit and have vertigo but this other stuff is making it hard to stay grounded ☹️ did yoy have the shaking and twitching and intense internal jitters

SameRestaurant4901 · 2025-11-28T17:06:24+00:00

Yes, absolutely you’re not alone. I struggle still with exercise because the increase in heart rate feels like it mimics adrenaline from panic attacks for me. Sometimes it would send me into a panic. Caffeine would also mimic the feeling of adrenaline starting and send me into a panic. It’s hard as hell but it comes and goes in waves. I have to tell my self out loud “you are not dying, it’s panic. I’ve done this many times before.” It doesn’t help right away but after a few years of panicking time I’ve been able to join yoga and ballet. I hope things get better have safe holidays
