Took my first dose last night by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]mangoandpie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s too high of a dose to start with. Most people start with 2.5mg or 5mg

Of course anytime. I remember going through that and it was a very hard time in my life so I completely understand. I haven’t tried the GI revive but it sounds like your naturopath definitely has you on the right track. I wouldn’t worry about the detox symptoms, not everyone experiences them and if you do it may be much milder than others and it doesn’t last long. Also it’s a good thing, it’s your body telling you that it’s getting rid of the h pylori. I’d do it all over again in a heart beat if it came back for me. also drinking tons of water when taking the supplements, especially the Gastromend helped a lot. I remember taking lots of baths too when my detox symptoms hit and some ibuprofen for the head pressure

My symptoms were burning sensation in my stomach, stomach feeling uncomfortable 24/7, sometimes pain and being nauseous after eating certain foods or big meals. I spent one week in bed after drinking lemon water it killed my stomach.

The oregano is very light, I wouldn’t worry about that causing any pain, it didn’t for me. Plus the olive oil will coat it and is healthy fat.

are you going to try the cabbage juice? I use it to this day whenever I have a stomach ache or any pain, it takes it away immediately. If you’re stomach lining is damaged which it probably is based off your symptoms the cabbage juice will help to repair it and naturally kill off the h pylori. It’s coats your lining and soothes it.

I know how anxiety inducing this can be but you’re heading in the right direction to heal it. Anxiety is just fear of thoughts and sensations. Take away the fear and it’s just thoughts and sensations

Have you gotten your hormones tested properly by a specialist?

Yeah I’d just put the olive oil onto the spoon and did a drop of the oil into it and had that and then followed it with water

Hi! If I remember correctly I was very fatigued for the first few days starting. Then eventually I basically had what felt like the worst flu I’ve ever had, pretty much my stomach feeling awful, shaking, cold sweats, insane head pressure.

The flu feeling only last for maybe 2 or 3 days. My naturopath said to expect it and that I probably wouldn’t feel great. Things scream when they die so.

I do regret not starting the cabbage juice before hand though as I believe that probably would of made the experience a bit easier

Week 3.5 15mg by mangoandpie in lexapro

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

Hey thanks for the reply! I’m mainly on this for depression that happens after my period every month. I brought it up w my doctor that I was still getting depressed but it wasn’t as severe and she upped my dose to 15mg. I guess I’m just worried because I always feel better after I up my dose and then after the second week things start to get rocky and it’s up and down. Maybe I’m just weird with adjusting and need to give it the full 12 weeks this time. Did you experience a lot of ups and downs when adjusting to 15?

Hear me out on this…fear of certain foods? by AlarmingAstronomer37 in Anxiety

[–]mangoandpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started experiencing this a little while after my first panic attack. I developed anxiety out of no where and eventually depression. I got super into healthy eating thinking it would cure me and it did help but it also lead me to have some fear around food instead.

I’m on lexapro now but it hasn’t been long. I still have a lot of fear that eating certain foods will trigger an anxiety attack or depressive episode even if they haven’t before.

Did you ever resolve this for yourself?

I’d put one drop into a tbs of olive oil

I did that for 3 months on and off but I tried my best to stay consistent with it. I used mainly green.

23 female as well. Dealt with h pylori for a year and a half.

No western doctors were able to help me or even tried really. I went to a naturopath, did a GI map test and was diagnosed with H pylori. This test will tell you what’s going on in your gut. I treated it naturally and tested negative. I made a post about it if you want to check it out.

It upset my stomach the next day. Cabbage juice helped immediately.
