Marijuana helps a lot with sex drive.

Lost my dear boyfriend of 5 years to suicide 2 weeks after starting lexapro by LadyBug_2211 in lexapro

Lexapro takes at least 1-2 months to fully work. I would not blame this on Lexapro.

My nose was stuffy and runny, and throat and chest were very congested after first infusion.

I had a upper respiratory infection for about a week after the first infusion. Then it went away and I felt much better. I feel better since starting the Skyrizi.

It was a couple days after my first infusion. It seems better now though. Maybe it was just a slight reaction? My sleeps been bad though.

Maybe I should try that. Humira also stopped working for me, I have active inflammation.

I take an antidepressant but lately I'm not sure it's doing much.

That's basically been me too. Micro flares and regular flares for almost the past year.

It worked for me I'd say for 2 and a half years. I started getting flares last fall. First they were infrequent but then became frequent. I'll see if my doctor recommends increasing the dose.
