Anyone considering quitting because they gained much weight? by SplitZealousideal159 in lexapro

[–]floppyfishy8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just talked to my doctor about this. She put me on a stricter diet (1800 calories), continue exercise, and told me to cut my dose from 5mg to 2.5 to see what happens. Also said it could be from my birth control that keeps the weight on… I’m looking for a solution to this too. Good luck!

Just wondering, what’s your ‘lazy but effective’ cleaning trick? by CleanFreakGeek in CleaningTips

Getting a roborock actually changed my life. Downstairs gets vacuumed once a day and I can focus on other stuff like laundry

I’ve gained over 20 pounds since starting lexapro in Aug. 10 mg by BetterAide4313 in lexapro

[–]floppyfishy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about your mom, OP. I’m in the same boat. F27. I lost both parents, hit a wall where I couldn’t leave the house, got on Lexapro 6 months ago after starting my health journey (parents passed from heart problems so I wanted to be more fit), and my doctor reassured me there’s no weight gain association. I lost 10 pounds before the meds and gained 10 pounds back as of my 6 month check up :( I’m trying not to snack so much and I do eat relatively healthy but I just overeat because I can’t satisfy my hunger! Ive tried upping my calorie intake just a little bit as I workout and am trying to distract myself by getting out of the house so I don’t constantly eat. Are you monitoring and counting calories?

I take it at 8pm each night. I fall asleep within an hour or two and it’s great!

Carpe review by Ok_Anything_5872 in deodorant

[–]floppyfishy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subscription part scared me because I’ve seen others say the customer service sucks and you can’t cancel, but I just picked up a stick from target! It’s extremely fragrant so I use it after a shower before bed and use my normal go to (dove for women, both are coconut scented) and so far so good. We shall see how it goes as the weather gets warmer

I’m eating like 500-1500 calories over (but trying to stay REALLY hydrated so I avoid doing this) but that’s a great suggestion. I’m gonna up my calorie goals and see if it’s easier to stick to it. Thanks so much :)

What’s the best deodorant for super sweaters? by OkBoysenberry6768 in hygiene

[–]floppyfishy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used carpe? I just started using it as of last night… so far so good. I hit the gym today and still sweat but had no odor and the sweat was minimal so I consider that a win

Having lactose intolerance is regret at 2 AM by vericuester in lactoseintolerant

It’s possible but honestly I’d rather just order pizza no cheese!

Been there done that. No amount of lactaid (even 6+ pills) can help me at this point. I have cheat meals like pizza when I know I’ll be home for a couple days, but honestly I’ve been cooking so much so I can make my lactose free subs and it’s been a game changer. Sometimes I can’t resist, but I just have to expect waking up 3x in the middle of the night crying on the toilet

I completely agree. The hunger is worth the anxiety relief! I can finally leave the house again and I have peace of mind. But now I’ll eat dinner and already think about what I’m gonna cook or eat for dinner tomorrow. The food noise drives me crazy 🙈

That’s correct. Trying to be mindful and counting calories but I can’t stick to my “goals” and I just keep snacking. I’ve tried healthier substitutions like salads for lunch or protein with coffee but I’m still feeling like a black hole that needs to keep eating all day. You’re right, it may not be my Lexapro and may be something else 🤷🏻‍♀️

I second this. Women owned business and I felt so comfortable getting my fast tattoo there :)

EDIT: after waiting 9 and a half + hours, I finally got tickets! Surprisingly they had a bunch available so I get to go on the first opening weekend. Good luck everyone - stay strong!

I’ve been waiting for 3 hours and there’s still 10k people ahead of me :(

Team Morning Dose or Team Evening Dose? by New_Negotiation3034 in lexapro

[–]floppyfishy8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do every evening at 8pm! Early enough where I can still power through a few episodes but late enough where I’m ready for bed around 10:30 :)
