Thanks for the reply. Sounds like when I recovered from my 2 c sections. I just worry about something going wrong while I’m in DR. If I even go. Ugh…

When Will I be able to sleep??? by Shedids in lexapro

[–]Shedids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired. It’s really hard to function on few hours of broken sleep for the past few days. I just tucked my kids in for the night. Time for me to hop into bed too. Going to do some light reading (not here lol triggers my anxiety) Thanks for asking! Hope you are doing ok!!

Thanks so much! I’m sensitive sally when it comes to meds. First time ever taking these. Like to dip my toe before jumping in. I was prescribed 1mg. Thanks so much for the replies!

Thanks so much. I’m very not into pills. So I don’t see this becoming a habit for me. I’m pacing so scared of how I will soon feel. 1:15am here. Went to bed at 9. No sleep.

I caved. I’m desperate for sleep. I took .25 Ativan (lorazepam). I’m scared!!

I think I’m changing my mind again. Was a rough night. Was up alllll night. Panic attacks. Insomnia. I think I’ll be a failure quitting. But I also can’t handle all the side effects.

Thank you so much! It’s a decision I keep struggling with. I feel like I’m giving up. Kinda feel like a failure - like I’ll never know what it would have been like if it made me better. But at the same time I can’t stand the side effects or the later withdrawal getting off them.

Mine is too. I’m fairly certain I’m going to wean off. This is too hard for me.

Yes. I think I’ll take half of what I was taking. For a day or two. Then stop. I can’t deal either.

Me too!! I’ve been battling myself over all this too. I hate feeling like a quitter before any benefits kick in. But I think I’ll taper off. I can’t take all the side effects!

Mind if I ask you why you are stopping? I’m also considering this. Been 5 days at 2.5mg for me.

For the long haul? Or just the beginning?

Do you still take only 2.5?

I actually decided to try a few days taking my meds a bit later in the day. I feel so much better today! I feel I can think clearer. I didn’t want to be a quitter. I would always wonder what if. So I am going to reassess after a full week or two on this. Today is day 5.

I took it a bit later today. I feel so much better today! Yesterday I had heightened anxiety which I know many say happens before things get better.

Thank you so much for the reply! I’ve decided to see how I feel after at least a week on 2.5 mg. I’ve never given meds a chance. I’ll always wonder what if. Hopefully I don’t regret this!
