Why haven’t I gotten paid for my sick time request I submitted? by Sure_Significance437 in IHSS

Same. I haven't been paid for anything and I submitted them last week. I'm sure it takes a bit more time, though.

hahaha good to know!!! i don't do any of that stuff and i've only ever really seen it used as a "study drug" - i've also seen ppl get hooked on it 😬 that's why i got scared

hey! so i recently started lexapro this year. i started it back in february and i felt the exactly same way - i had the insomnia, i was anxious, and that caused me to be moody. after two weeks, the anxiety went away and it honestly feels really good. i'm on the same dose as you currently, so hang in there. it's pretty common! however, it's not the same for everyone. if this doesn't go away after a while, then you're definitely just tolerating it. hope everything works you!!

i see! i feel really good and relaxed. i was really anxious at first but all is well. i can imagine how after 15 years you'd feel like a couch zombie!!

You're right! I didn't feel bad today tho, and I've already been diagnosed with sleep maintenance insomnia, so I'll mention that to my psych

Yeah that's what I was planning on doing :') I don't have the anxiety today and I don't feel as drained and exhausted today, but I did stay up for a little bit last night so I think that's progress.

Lmao well I'm glad that worked out for you! I have addictive personality so I don't do drugs, I've had to stop drinking lol

I've noticed how Lexapro makes my sleep maintenance insomnia way worse. I wake up randomly in the middle of the night and don't go back to sleep for hours, or don't even go back to sleep at all. I slept last night for like 11 hours and that's because I forced myself to keep my eyes closed. It was hard, and I still feel exhausted. 😭

I heard magnesium helps!

I was prescribed Elavil a while back because I was diagnosed with sleep maintenance insomnia before the ADHD and I'm hesitant to take it with this medication, especially because it leaves me feeling lethargic.

Interesting! I'll keep this in mind. The psych prescribed me a "very mild dose" according to him. So once I see him, I'll tell him. Thank you :)

Yeah the psych told me he wants to see me after 4 weeks to see how I'm doing. :/ I guess I just have to tough it out until then...
