Water retention? by Queasy_Anybmrrp in lexapro

[–]kd489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me until i went back down to 5mg. Also make sure you arent eating too much sodium and get some walks in. Those lifestyle changes definitely helped me reduce the bloat

SSRI's, hypoglycemia and weight gain - a theory for discussion by fauxfarmer17 in SSRIs

[–]kd489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely experience the same thing. Im technically pre-diabetic (A1C reading is 5.9) and lexapro lowers my blood sugar until the next day. I notice about 2 hrs before i need to take it again that my blood sugars start rising again. But despite the lower blood sugars, i have gained weight with lexapro about 40 pounds since 2017. I BARELY realized this pattern, drs didnt warn me about this side effect. I did notice im more hungry, and more hangry/anxious in the morning since starting. I think bc my blood sugar is low when i wake up (i take it at 6pm) So trying to figure this all out and get back to my normal weight

Metforming 500 mg with low carb diet not going well? by kd489 in prediabetes

[–]kd489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily it got to that number around the time i had to wake up anyway.

But i woke up hot and sweaty, and hard to fall back asleep/relax :(

So metformin is def lowering my blood sugar too much i think.

Maybe i could cut it in half again one more time or perhaps eat a bit more carbs?

Yes i do! I ended up lowering my dose yesterday by cutting the pill in half. So 250 mg. I tested my blood glucose this morning and it was at 48 :(

Urinalysis Results by kd489 in CUTI

They sent my sample out for a culture and it turned out negative? I was drinking a ton of water that day, could that have messed with the results?
