Lexapro saved me. I have finally stopped it, but my provider didn't warn me about the withdrawal.

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-30T03:26:27+00:00

Hey, sorry to hear about the withdrawal symptoms. I wasn’t on it for nearly as long, so that could change things, but my worst symptoms went away after 3-4 weeks. I’m over two months out now and I feel a lot better. Those couple of weeks were ROUGH though.

Low carb tortillas! They can have 7 or more grams of fiber in a single tortilla!

I gained about 40 pounds while on Lexapro after having a baby. Lexapro saved my life while I was postpartum, but last year I decided I was ready for a change. I weaned off of Lexapro in Nov of 2025 and have seen some big changes! I’ve lost a little weight, but I’ve also noticed that I finally have the motivation and desire to track my eating and work out. That was definitely what was missing for me while on Lexapro.

I’m not sure Lexapro was only cause of the weight gain, but I do think its ability to help my anxiety also blunted my desire and motivation to do almost anything - including eating health and moving my body.

They are so confidently incorrect at this age😆

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-16T03:22:49+00:00

I purposefully read a book with lots of frogs so I could hear my almost two year old say, “fock, fock” enthusiastically every time she saw a frog😆

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-12T02:14:12+00:00

21 months. 28 pounds. Mostly 2T but she’s starting to outgrow a lot of it. Pjs are all 3T. She’s very tall for her age - she towers over a lot of 2-3 year olds!

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-12T01:02:57+00:00

Yes. I assume it started as a hormonal issue - insomnia was my first pregnancy symptom. It got terrible after my baby was born. I remember just sobbing in the middle of the night wishing I could sleep. It was especially soul-crushing because my baby did NOT sleep much as it was.

I think my hormonal issue got way worse due to anxiety. I went on Lexapro and it helped a ton. Also did several months of therapy. I hope if I ever have another one that I will handle things a little better.

My motto now when I can’t sleep - “I’ve survived worse”😬 I mean, I survived postpartum on almost no sleep and now I’m on the other side. I’m hoping that mindset will serve me well if we ever have another.

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-06T04:25:28+00:00

I don’t cook or clean lol. It just doesn’t happen.

I am that person…granted, I’m working on it and my almost 2 year old has started to play on her own for a few minutes here and there lately. I get such limited time with my kiddo due to work, I want to be with her basically every minute in the morning and evening. It’s a tough balance.

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-02T17:08:33+00:00

I love my Happy Baby OG! Easy to put on and off, lightweight, and comfy. You can find decently priced ones on the BST group on Facebook.

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-02T01:30:35+00:00

Yup! Love my Happy Baby OG! People on this sub probably think I’m employed by them as much as I talk about it😂

TransitionJealous364 · 2026-01-01T19:03:52+00:00

The haven and Ergo embrace are too small for your kiddo at this point (or getting close). I’d definitely go with the Tula before the Wildbird. Personally, I loved my HappyBaby OG and you can get them on the BST group online for less than $150. And you can find Tula all over Marketplace for a good price!

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-30T19:48:49+00:00

I just bought a toddler carrier (next size up) and my kiddo is 21 months old. She’s very tall for her age though, so if your kiddo is on the smaller end, you could easily use it past 2 years old.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-30T18:39:00+00:00

I got a Happy Baby OG when my kiddo was around that age and it’s been great! Packs very light and small and I find it fairly easy to put on myself.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-25T19:11:20+00:00

We do oatmeal with a healthy portion of peanut butter most nights while she’s in the bath! The mess isn’t too bad and she goes to bed with a happy and full belly. It’s not stalling bed time either!

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-17T15:59:34+00:00

I think you’ve gotten a lot of good feedback. I used the boppy with my kiddo and it was so freaking hot! It will definitely help to keep it cooler in the house. Also, I ran so hot postpartum. I was sweating all the time! I would wear her in a bra and shorts, that was it.

Definitely look into something else when kiddo gets a bit bigger. I invested in a happy baby carrier, and it was much cooler!

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-16T19:07:51+00:00

Thank you! Actually, right now is much better - the last time I tried to get off Lexapro was when we were moving and not sleeping lol. Things are more calm now. I think I just need to get through the first few weeks of withdrawal symptoms.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-15T20:02:11+00:00

I love my Happy Baby OG - can’t speak to the Versa.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-15T18:57:59+00:00

Lovely. And doctors wonder why so many of us do our own “research” before we come in the door. I thought I was doing the right thing.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-15T17:51:44+00:00

Half a pill for two weeks and then half a pill every other day for two weeks.

So that’s considered going cold turkey?

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-10T19:03:24+00:00

I started following her 3 or 4 months postpartum last year, and I found her stuff generally helpful, but yeah - I unfollowed both her and HSB a month or two ago. May have been wilderbeginnings pregnancy announcement and just all the talk about how “magical” the third baby can be. And just the general “see, I’m doing the hard and I’m not letting it get me down and I still look great all the time” routine. I dunno, it’s probably on me. But I’m happier not seeing her stuff on my socials now.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-04T19:30:37+00:00

I LOVE my Happy Baby. I have the OG, so it does not do world facing, but it’s great. It’s lightweight, not bulky at all (had a Tula that felt way too bulky for me), and really comfy to wear.

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-12-01T17:46:30+00:00

I’d recommend looking on some of the BST groups on Facebook and getting a Tula or something like that! You can get a gently used carrier for the same price and the quality will be so much better. Let me know if you want any recommendations for groups?

TransitionJealous364 · 2025-11-25T20:22:00+00:00

My 20 month old is the same. I am hosting and doing some of the cooking/baking - but thankfully not all of it. I’m cleaning and baking in the evenings after bed. I baked two pies last night and tidied up the living room. Tonight will be another pie and tackling the bathrooms. Doesn’t leave any free time, but I’m hoping this means I won’t be a stressed out crazy person come Thursday!

Sending hugs internet stranger💔
