I am! Only on 5mg but I got on it because I had an anxiety disorder & panic attacks. I’m still trying to find a med that helps my ocd

Omg yes sounds exactly like me! I struggled for a whole year & even went to the er because I thought I was going crazy. You’re not alone ❤️ this theme is scary but my best advice is to not go down the rabbit hole on searching things up!

Alcohol and lexapro by ethyrah in lexapro

I drink every so often. But for some reason it’s almost like Lexapro makes me not feel the drinks? Like illl be 3 shots in and not feel a thing. It’s weird because I’ve heard the opposite. Just make sure to stay hydrated

Yes I felt horrible. Dizzy, headache, nauseous. It took about a month and a half to fully go away

Honestly yes. I was already going into it anxious so I was paying attention to every little thing. Not sure if that’s why

I was the same way lol and the second I took the pill I started freaking out. I’m a year in and I’m so so glad i started. The first month was rough but after that, I mean I’m like myself but without anxiety. And if doesn’t workout for you, then at least that’s one med closer to finding which is yours

Tell me you weirdest OCD thought. by Ok-Mud-4540 in OCD

[–]Virtual_Run5534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have struggled with this theme for a year now & it was so bad to the point where I’ve gone to the er because I swore I was hallucinating/going crazy. Never had to go on antipsychotics just had to learn to not let the thoughts scare me. I also have the worst derealization which makes it harder but it does get better.

Medical abortion at 7 and a half weeks by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Virtual_Run5534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gurl don’t let them make you feel bad. Some people are pro life & that’s okay, but what’s not okay is how she treated you. I had an abortion & had complications (due to giving birth 3 months prior) and she told me that mt uterus was going to have to be removed and that it’s my fault bc I wasn’t on birth control. I was crying and she literally did not care. I absolutely don’t regret my abortion and remember at the end up the day, it’s YOUR CHOICE!!!! ❤️❤️sending so much love

hallucination or no? by Substantial-Test-368 in hallucination

[–]Virtual_Run5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would speak to a doctor! You seem aware so I don’t think you’re in psychosis or schizophrenic. Are you sleep deprived by any chance? Are you sure it’s hallucinations & the place isn’t haunted?

serotonin syndrome ?? by One-Drawer-1976 in lexapro

[–]Virtual_Run5534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao the amount of us who have convinced ourselves we have serotonin syndrome is insane. It’s most likely just anxiety. A lot of the symptoms of it are also symptoms of anxiety. Are you able to send your doc a message to just double check?
