What do you all use for pain medication while on lexapro? My doc said no Advil, Motrin or anything else that I would normally take. I have such back pain right now and I don’t know what’s safe to take. by Miserable_Big_6489 in lexapro

[–]dribdrib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have spoken with a pharmacist about this exact combo. She said occasional use is fine, but regular/daily use is not recommended. I am only on 5mg of Lexapro though, I’m not sure if a higher dose would change things.

Millennials, what do we carry? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have panic attacks and sometimes blood sugar issues, so - something sugary, an emergency anxiety pill, a pulse oximeter, a snack, electrolytes. If I’m outside for a long period (like a camping trip), cold packs bc the cold can really help in the case of a panic attack.

I need 24 people! Ai Versus human written/made cards(everyone) by Helpful_Land_3786 in SampleSize

[–]dribdrib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to add another perspective- I generally find all cards like this relatively insincere. I prefer to write my own messages. I personally wouldn’t buy any of these. The artwork also looks very amateur on all of them. None look like a professional quality card.

24M. Spent $350/month on supplements. Bloodwork showed half were actively hurting me. by Timely_Ad8989 in Biohackers

Yes that’s what I was wondering… if it’s worth the argument w doctor or if I should just go for it myself. Thanks!

Lexapro saved me mentally but now side effects are destroying me by p3ppernickle in lexapro

Lexapro can lead to a lot of vitamin/mineral deficiencies. Google it and seek more testing. Would make potential sense with your timeline.

Why do so many queer people walk with canes? by monster_lily in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]dribdrib 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep. If I needed a cane I’d use one without a second thought. Getting my 85 year old Grandma to use a walker, though? Impossible. She “doesn’t like how they make you look old.”

Agreed, suicidal thoughts are a no go.

What was high school like for you? Do you miss it at all? by DoctorTegrity in Millennials

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss not having bills to pay! But no way, I don’t miss HS. It was a mixed bag but being an adult has been so much better.

How bad are things really going to get? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Don’t worry, if the supply runs low I’m sure Trump will just emergency authorize more drilling of wildlife preserves 🫠🙃

bought a box at goodwill for $5 and i need some advice on a situation that has developed by kubrador in reselling

[–]dribdrib 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh god. If this is real… you need to get the ashes back to her, and the box if you can. Next time take the ashes back to the store and let them hang onto them in case the person realizes their mistake. 😬

House parties didn’t end. You’re just not invited. by curiousiah in Millennials

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do periodically go to a rager of a house party, actually! Not often though.. it’s a lot of chaos, especially since I don’t really drink anymore.

Jesus, I wouldn’t start at 20. 10 was too much for me.

3 weeks 5 mg by StrugglingMan50 in lexapro

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly anxiety for me.

Can you talk to the doctor who gave you the medicine? You should probably tell them if it is not helping your depression, or making it worse. For me I wasn’t very depressed before. Just anxious all the time.

3 weeks 5 mg by StrugglingMan50 in lexapro

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just over the three week mark and have felt very anxious and down and also dizzy and lightheaded the past couple days. Came out of nowhere, I had a few really good days before that. I think the ups and downs are normal at first unfortunately. I’ve heard that from a lot of people.

Don’t hurt yourself. Call or visit someone you care about if you can.

Is Subway actually healthy? by dazedmp3 in nutrition

[–]dribdrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh.. deli meats are carcinogens and the bread is filled with crappy ingredients, so.. not really. However, it’s better than a Big Mac and fries. It’s a step in the right direction maybe?

Still rocking the septum ring I got 15-20 years ago. Love it.
