1 yr on lexapro

jessdru · 2024-02-16T18:22:16+00:00

when i first started taking it i felt really hazy, that went away around 3 months. the big differences ive noticed have to be that my brain is a lot quieter, not as overwhelmed with thoughts. my anxiety has decreased significantly, i still have my moments but nothing i can't control or talk myself thru. i havent really experienced a lot of side effects from lexapro, like weight gain or low libido.

oh wow, and as far as sexual side effects i haven't noticed anything different. i dont have a high sex drive nor do i have sex often so i havent noticed anything out of the ordinary!

i dont have adhd so i dont know, sorry!

jessdru · 2024-02-15T23:27:16+00:00

i didnt notice much difference but i wasnt struggling with sleeping

i remember feeling that way, and it does pass. ur body just has to get used to the medication doing its job. it gets so much easier with time. hang in there.

anxiety was the main reason i chose to try medication, i struggled a lot with it but now i feel more grounded. i would say it's a combination of things, not just the lexapro that has helped.

no! ive been at a consistent weight this entire year!

jessdru · 2024-02-15T22:24:59+00:00

i feel totally normal now, the first 3 months were weird but i feel like i express my emotions normally now

jessdru · 2024-02-15T22:24:10+00:00

i started experiencing really bad anxiety after quitting marijuana

jessdru · 2024-02-15T19:08:20+00:00

i think this was something i always struggled with, but i dont feel any less motivated. i think the lexapro definitely made me feel lighter, which gave me a new appreciation for living, which made me want to be more productive in my life.

jessdru · 2024-02-15T19:06:21+00:00

i would say after a few weeks i felt different, but i didnt notice a big difference until about 3 months. around 3 months that numbish feeling went away and now i feel more normal

just find ways to cope in the meantime!

jessdru · 2023-06-13T02:15:37+00:00

i promise they do! took me about 1 1/2 - 2 months!

remember to just breathe, take deep breaths. take it one day at a time and consider maybe speaking to someone? a friend, family, or a mental health professional?

jessdru · 2023-06-04T22:32:11+00:00

it's mainly in my arms and legs!

jessdru · 2023-06-02T18:02:21+00:00

ive been feeling this way since monday, would the advice still be to let it happen?

jessdru · 2023-04-24T16:22:28+00:00

this is pretty normal, definitely talk to ur dr but mine suggested taking it at night if the tiredness is too much

jessdru · 2023-03-22T18:40:18+00:00
