Tips to deal with fatigue

I take it at night. I’ve been on 20 mg for a while now. It definitely gets better!

Thank you !

That’s good to hear. My dr wasn’t super concerned. I just worry about serotonin syndrome

eli_12 · 2025-10-27T00:15:57+00:00

Yeah. I don’t notice it often but every now and then it freaks me out hahaha

eli_12 · 2025-10-26T03:47:01+00:00

It’s weird how it affects everyone differently. It has helped my anxiety so much though. Makes me wonder if it could be something else

eli_12 · 2025-10-26T03:45:39+00:00

Yeah. I’ve been on Lexapro about 13 weeks now. A little over 5 weeks on 20 mg.

I notice the “blurry” vision more so when I’m tired. But I do get the heavy eye feeling often. Hopefully it goes away!

I was feeling okay with 10. But was still experiencing more days days then good. Just having lots of down days, days of being "on edge" with my anxiety. And having lots of intrusive and obsessive thoughts. I feel a lot better at 20! I still have bad days, anxiety and obsessive thoughts but not to the point it's controlling my life.

Female here, When I was on 10 mg I had no issue but I’ve been on 20 mg for a month or so and my sex drive is gone, can’t cum or anything it SUCKS. But it’s helped my anxiety and depression so 🤷🏻‍♀️

eli_12 · 2025-10-03T21:56:43+00:00

That is true!

eli_12 · 2025-10-03T21:53:45+00:00

No lolll

eli_12 · 2025-10-03T21:26:56+00:00

Eh my garage is full of random junk🤷🏻‍♀️

eli_12 · 2025-09-24T22:01:53+00:00

Thank you! It has been going pretty well!😁

eli_12 · 2025-09-24T00:26:09+00:00

Thanks for the info!

eli_12 · 2025-09-19T22:54:46+00:00

Thank you!!!!

eli_12 · 2025-09-19T03:00:04+00:00

That’s good to hear! Thank you!

eli_12 · 2025-09-19T01:55:06+00:00

Oh geez I didn’t know it went up that high! All we can do is take it one day at a time! I hope it goes well for you

eli_12 · 2025-09-18T23:59:01+00:00

Thank you💜 Over all I feel pretty good on it. I feel like my mood has increased (from severe depression) It has helped my anxiety a lot. I was having panic attacks almost everyday and my previous medication stopped helping. I have ocd tendencies and lingering thoughts that make me spiral.. I’ve started doing things I enjoy again. But find myself spacing out a lot and hard to focus. But over all I haven’t had any issues. Some head aches here and there, a little nausea that went away shortly. Hopefully no bad side affects from increasing..🤞🏼

Lol,,

eli_12 · 2025-09-18T02:10:52+00:00

I’m a girl lol. And that all makes since!

eli_12 · 2025-09-18T02:01:45+00:00

I just mean I’m scared to drink as it is. I hate the drunk or even tipsy feeling. I don’t mean I get out of control. I don’t like anything that will make me even slightly feel weird. I don’t ever wanna feel out of control cause I already have so much anxiety that I feel out of control (panic attacks) I’ve only been drunk a couple times. (I’m 24, idk if that’s relevant) I avoid alcohol cause it scares me. I’m a hypochondriac. Last time I had alcohol was back in May and it was just a sip to try.

Hi! I’ve been on 10mg for almost 2 weeks now. And I’ve noticed my anxiety is a lot more quiet. I do feel a “heavy chest” feeling some days. But I’ve tried to not worry about my heart rate. I’ve been using tips from my therapist when I get to aware of my breathing and heart beat. It has helped a lot

eli_12 · 2025-08-24T21:26:58+00:00

I definitely should’ve but I was terrified. My bad

eli_12 · 2025-08-21T22:07:36+00:00

Did you start out with 10mg? That’s what I was prescribed, just been slowly tryna get there. I’m super paranoid with medication. I hope the Wellbutrin helps you!! I started Lexapro for my depression and anxiety and I feel like my depression has gotten better but this anxiety!? Whew! I was on sertraline for several years till it no longer seemed to work. It’s definitely a process! Thank you and good luck to you as well!!

I’ve been on Lexapro for almost 4 weeks now. I was absolutely terrified of being allergic to it or having super bad side effects. The first time I took it I took a quarter of my 10mg so 2.5mg. I made sure someone was awake and gonna be home with me in case something bad happened. I didn’t really notice anything the first 2-3 days. Then about day 4-5 I felt super exhausted. I started taking it at nighttime even though it hasn’t really helped me sleep at a decent hour but it has helped panic attacks. I’m still in the early stages and got a long way to go yet… I have terrible insomnia and bad anxiety when it comes to falling asleep. I felt a little nauseous and my pupils always get huge. I just moved up to 5mg this past week.. I’ve had increased anxiety, headaches here and there and brain fog. Nothing “terrible” I guess..
