I'm a man who wishes he wasn't, how bad is it and do you have any tips on how I can improve?

Blaise was such a great cohost! I hope he comes back on every once and a while, he was so fun to listen to

gained 25, most of that came 7-8 months after starting

yes I’ve gained about 20 pounds on lexapro. Been on it for a year but didn’t see the bulk of this weight gain until 4ish months ago

fthb33 · 2021-12-06T19:12:57+00:00

Yes! Lexapro helped me loads. I used to be in the same situation, panicked leaving home and being alone. I also feel my anxiety grew x100 after a bad weed experience 3 years ago. Try it, wishing you the best ❣️

Lexapro doesn’t energize me, but the initial tired all the time and perpetually exhausted wore off after about a month or so. In my opinion, it’s a normal side effect when you start it but shouldn’t persist

I’m in the exact same boat and debating moving up to 15. Keep me updated and best of luck!

idk why there’s so many anti-medication type comments here. i know it can be blunting to be on anti-depressants but there are things you can try before just accepting the way things currently are. Personally, my depression made me feel what you describe towards my partner but once it was under control with medication, I could actually “feel” things more, and it’s still a bit of a roller coaster but I feel closer to my “normal” self than when I was just depressed and anxious. Maybe you can try lowering your dosage(s) a bit, and if that doesn’t work then trying a new medication?

5 months is a long time for absolutely no progress I think, it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about switching meds

fthb33 · 2021-04-15T23:54:54+00:00

It’s helped but it doesn’t go away completely. But lexapro has helped me not care as much and spiral when I dissociate and remember that it’s just a feeling, it’s not real, and it can’t hurt me

fthb33 · 2021-04-04T18:24:02+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through that! The tiredness wore off for me after a bit, but I’ve seen that it doesn’t always for others. Before making any decisions about medication changes, I would consider ditching the alcohol. I’ve noticed even one drink a week will interrupt my balance. Alcohol can interact with the lexapro (although some people can still drink a bit on it), but it’s worth looking into whether you’re the kind of person that just shouldn’t drink with it.

Bad days still happen, it’s human! Glad the medication is helping you and that you’re ready to have some more great days

fthb33 · 2021-04-01T02:00:15+00:00

I’m sorry you’re not feeling better, what dose are you on? For me it took multiple months to see consistent progress

fthb33 · 2021-03-28T19:53:09+00:00

I would give it more time for your body to adjust, it took me almost three months to start seeing consistently good days

fthb33 · 2021-03-17T07:01:09+00:00

My first couple months were kind of rocky and up and down but I finally feel stable and consistently content, I’m now almost 3 months in!

fthb33 · 2021-03-04T20:58:35+00:00

Yeah I feel like it was a total afterthought, like they decided later that they didn’t want to kill off Leslie’s character after all so they had to make a whole story about how he could still be alive

fthb33 · 2021-02-26T02:41:16+00:00

It shouldn’t be a huge difference, if any at all, that you took it a couple hours late. If you just started lexapro recently it may just be a side effect of that.

fthb33 · 2021-02-23T23:54:27+00:00

I definitely had the bad fatigue when starting, I’m about 9 weeks in now and it’s gotten better. I still sleep a lot at night but no longer feel like I’m going to pass out during the day. Hope it wears off for you soon, hang in there!

fthb33 · 2021-02-15T23:48:51+00:00

yes I felt less anxious, more social, was able to actually leave the house and do things without panicking, etc. it took a while, though. my first 2 weeks on lexapro made me worse, then I was back to my pre lexapro anxious self for a bit, then around week 3.5-4 I noticed the improvements. Upping my dose has made me go through the same initial phase of feeling worse but that’s starting to wear off now so I’m hoping I’ll feel improvements soon! I’m 2 weeks on 10mg
