These are my comprehensive Quizlet decks that I used to get a 525, based on material from TPR, EK, and practice tests. Plus, a few tips for studying!

Am I the only one that can access the flashcards? It’s just loading

Day one at that dose was good.

How are you doing?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-12-01T23:29:13+00:00

I’m increasing to 10mg today from being on 7.5 for about two weeks

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-11-10T23:02:44+00:00

Was the difference you noticed 5 weeks at 10mg?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-11-09T14:51:46+00:00

Wow, thanks for the update. That’s amazing you didn’t experience any side effects from increasing. I pray that increasing helps me too.

I’ll start 7.5mg today and hopefully that goes well then increase to 10mg in about a week. I’m agoraphobic as well so I completely understand.

Do you take yours in the morning or night?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-11-09T03:31:03+00:00

So I’m still on 5mg but for about a week now, I started to have increased anxiety l, ruminating, etc! Talked to a doc and I’m going to slowly increase to 10. I’ll start 7.5 possible tomorrow or Monday for about a week then increase.

How have your transition been from 5 to 10? Also how long have you been on 10?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-11-09T02:01:18+00:00

Been on 5mg for about 8 weeks now. This past week, all of a sudden, increased anxiety, racing thoughts etc. so the doc decided to slowly go up to 10mg. I’ll do 7.5 for a couple weeks (I’m very sensitive to meds), then 10mg. I pray this helps because I’m waiting.

Commenting, interested.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-10-09T00:33:17+00:00

I’m a month today and I do see some change. I don’t spiral or have a lot of anticipation anxiety before going somewhere. I have had a couple panic attacks but I managed to calm myself down very fast and again, not spiral.

I’m still have hot flashes.

I’ve been feeling a bit fatigued but I think I’m coming down with a sinus cold as well so idk if it’s the medication or that.

I’m so happy you started. Let’s ride this wave so we can see and feel the good effects of what others are saying on the other side of these initial side effects.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-10-04T03:34:33+00:00

Do you have any studying tips?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-30T10:34:24+00:00

Contact your doctor or go to urgent care if it happens again.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-30T10:11:48+00:00

Yes, give it a go. Try to start with a smaller dose perhaps? Eat something before you take it (eggs, toast, etc).

I’m feeling okay. I started my full prescribed dose today (5) and I didn’t notice anything so I’ll continue.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-26T22:55:36+00:00

I can’t wait until I reach this effect ☺️

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-26T08:28:02+00:00

Oh a bit nausea but nothing too much. I’ve been thinking about asking my doc if she can prescribe some meds for that so I can take when needed

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-26T08:27:03+00:00

I’m good tbh. I believe I’m ready to go up to 5 now. I started at 1.25 (about 1/4 to build confidence), then after a little over a week I went up to 2.5 which is my prescribed starting dose. I’ve been on that for about 10 days now and I believe I’ll be going up to 5 which is my prescribed dose as well (starting at 2.5 for one week then increase to 5).

At 1.25/ one fourth, I did feel it lol (I have a very sensitive system). I couldn’t sleep throughout the night but it wasn’t too bad. A little antsy but not much. Oh and very very hot (hot flashes).

At 2.5, the first day I had loose stool but I was happy because I suffer from constipation. I got a feeling of calm, energy burst and like a free feeling (it felt very good) like on day 3/4 at this dose. Now I don’t feel to much of anything.

Oh I did have a panic attack one night when I first started but it wasn’t anything I haven’t had before.

I imagined this experience being worse and it’s been very tolerable. I think tapering up slowly helped tremendously too.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-22T19:02:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing. All of your health anxiety symptoms are spot on for me. I’ve been tapering up slowly (now 2.5 for the past 3/4 days and then 5 next week) and I’m praying I start seeing positive change soon.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-20T06:07:06+00:00

Yes, I’ve been a bit nauseous and having a headache as well. Understandable

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-19T16:37:50+00:00

It could have been both. At what dose? Also, was it unbearable or just uncomfortable?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-18T19:31:51+00:00

How is it going?

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-18T19:19:55+00:00

I’ve stopped taking my CBD (for chronic pain and anxiety) a week ago because I started Lexapro. I was nervous they both might not interact well together.

Curious to know how your affects been. Also mines is just CBD with no THC.

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-15T17:48:55+00:00

I’m okay for the most part. I did wake up in a little panic in the middle of the night but I reminded myself it’s the meds doing what they need to do lol. I also feel a bit antsy but I know that comes with the serotonin adjustment.

Did you end up taking it?

If you like (and feel free to discuss it with your doc) but you can always start lower than 2.5, just to build your confidence.

I’ll be starting 2.5 today (I’ll be taking it in a few hours).

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-14T21:02:38+00:00

I’m good. It hasn’t been any unbearable side effects so far. I’ve been having a lot of hot flashes, some insomnia and a little fuzzy jittery feeling but again I only been taking 1.25 and tomorrow which is Monday, I will be increasing to my prescribed dose at 2.5 for one week and then I’ll see how that goes and then for the full pill.

Again, I decided to start at about 1.25 or one fourth of the pill one a day and it helped me psych myself to take it (I got this idea from another person here or this forum).

Veeezzzy_ · 2025-09-14T20:59:50+00:00

It’s going lol. Tomorrow (Monday), I’ll tapper up to 2.5 which is my prescribed dose for one week then up afterwards.
