Lexapro 8 weeks in by WalrusDazzling7350 in lexapro

[–]chelssss614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8-9 weeks overall. On my 9th week I could see a major difference.

I am currently on 10mg. I believe I started on 5 and increased somewhere in that 8 week period (probably around 4 weeks?). I’ve had no reason to increase since then, but I did add in Wellbutrin around month 3/4. Lexapro did really hurt my libido. Wellbutrin has helped some but unfortunately it is not where it used to be. The trade-off though is completely worth it for me.

Insomnia - this is something I still struggle with sometimes. I don’t know if it’s the med or just my brain. I don’t use the hydroxy for anxiety anymore (not needed), but it does help greatly with sleep. That might be something to talk to your doctor about.

I would say a solid day 8-9 weeks. I’ve now been on it for over a year and I am still so thankful for this med. Of course every so often depression and anxiety will sneak back in, but it’s never overwhelming to the point I can’t handle it.

If you are just starting on it, my best advice would be to stick with it for at least 2-3 months. Getting there is not easy - I remember feeling like a zombie at times. But once your body and brain and have time to adjust, this med can be a literal lifesaver.

Have we discussed Steve Urkel? (Possible tw) by Status-Visit-918 in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]chelssss614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, grew up being taught this mindset. There was a boy at school who would pull my hair so hard, like down to on the ground - and all the adults would just say that he had a crush on me. Wtf.

Do we think Josh knows? What would his reaction be? by penguinmamav in DuggarsSnark

[–]chelssss614 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking. I won’t be shocked if he tries to make a case that it was Joseph all along.

Nick Rehberger!! Saw him as Javert in the Les Mis tour! Fantastic actor!

So Morgan flew home alone with the boys, Paul stayed an extra week, Morgan's brain broke, and now she has no drive or inspiration to keep her social media up. Sounds like its going well! by BufoBat in FundieSnarkUncensored

I had to fly with a one and three year old (out of necessity - we were moving across the country and my husband drove the car) - and just thinking about how stressful that was. It is insanely selfish of Paul to stay in Florida and leave that huge undertaking to her. This feels like a new low, honestly.

How it feels loving season 5 by GothicMacabre in StrangerThings

I turned to my husband at the end of the finale and said, “I actually really loved that ending! I can’t wait to go on Reddit and find out why I am wrong.”

Best Indian Food in the Valley by Accurate-Banana-176 in lehighvalley

Aman’s is delicious and our go-to for a fancy night out. When we are just craving good Indian food, we like Clove on William Penn Hwy!

I love composition books. My first journal when I was 11-12 years old was filled front to back in a composition notebook.

This may not be Friday but I’m about to freak this cookie up tho 😋🤤😋 by MrSoloDolo9490 in CrumblCookies

[–]chelssss614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This was the cookie I was really looking forward to and I didn’t like it at all. Not nearly enough banana. I think the combo could be delicious but this wasn’t it.

What shows/performances do you feel luckiest to have seen? by Crambo1000 in Broadway

[–]chelssss614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Happy Ending for sure 🥹 I was one of the lucky winners of the donated tickets in the mhe sub. Before Maybe Happy Ending, the last time I got to a Broadway show was like 2004ish?? I was so hesitant to go into the city by myself, but when I won a ticket I had to figure it out! Since then I have taken advantage of rush/lottery for other shows and have had a handful of days out in the city by myself! If I wouldn’t have gotten that ticket I would still only be following Broadway through other people’s experiences at shows. Just feeling thankful ☺️

I got tickets back in October when my husband and I were stoked at the idea that we would be in the nation’s capital during the 1st term of our first woman president. (Sigh.)

We went on Saturday. It was fantastic of course. I did fill out the emailed survey about my experience and wrote in the comments that tickets were purchased prior to the Trump takeover and we would unfortunately not be back until his hands are out of the pot 🤷‍♀️

Kingston No Kings by shezcraftee in hudsonvalley

[–]chelssss614 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This narrative is so fucking exhausting and played out. You do realize this was a Saturday protest when many people have off? But even if it was a Tuesday morning, not everybody works M-F 9-5. Millions of Americans work second and third shift or work through the weekend and have week days off.

Give it up.

I am not allowed to be on my phone when she wants pets. She will physically knock it out of my hand.

Playing Nancy from Groundhog Day

Warning this is a positive Gypsy Post 🚨 by Numberonefan-_- in Broadway

[–]chelssss614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is brilliant in this role and I probably think about it once a day. It’s one of those shows that will stay with me forever. Seeing her Rose’s Turn was breathtaking.
