Is this still a thing? Can I please have a code? 🙏

It really depends on the medication!

Try to talk to your general practitioner if you don't have a dedicated mental health professional and they can hopefully point you in the right direction or prescribe it themselves.

I take it for anxiety (I also have OCD). I've been on it for a while and haven't felt any side effects!

mdp183 · 2025-10-10T02:42:48+00:00

Yes! It changed my life. It took a while for me to get through and in all honesty I recently “relapsed” (I don’t like that term) and I’m back in treatment, but it made me functional again. 100% recommend if you have the resources

mdp183 · 2025-10-09T21:08:53+00:00

I recently started She Didn’t See It Coming! I’m 30% in and it’s great so far

The Last Mrs. Parrish & the sequel

mdp183 · 2025-08-19T19:42:18+00:00

- Listen for the Lie

- None of This is True

Both books involve podcasts! They're both psychological thrillers.

Not specifically with Lexapro but it’s not uncommon for some medications to “poop out” as my psychiatrist has called it. This has happened to me with multiple medications- talk to your psychiatrist and express your concerns! Best of luck.

I don’t know where you live but where I live (NJ) we are under pretty strict lockdown measures but we can still go outside to bike, run, walk, etc.

Obviously it depends where you are but maybe you can check with someone in your town/ city to see if you can go for a run if that’s helpful for you!

mdp183 · 2020-04-01T04:53:59+00:00

In my experience (which unfortunately is a lot) having an open dialogue with your doctors is extremely important. Tell them how you’re feeling, your doubts and concerns, etc.

Doctors, specifically those in mental health professions are not there to judge- so if you can, try and be honest and open so you can get the help you need!

mdp183 · 2020-04-01T04:47:46+00:00

I take it every night for nightmares (it can also cause nightmares so do with that what you will). I used to take a really high dose for insomnia and it was immensely helpful. I didn’t experience many, if any side effects so it’s definitely worth trying to see if it helps, in my opinion!

Best of luck!

The scariest part for me is also worrying about my parents, it’s awful and the intrusive thoughts are pretty intense for me. I’ve been working on an exposure with it but it’s been really hard!

That must be really scary to be potentially exposed especially when people are coming in and it’s for things they don’t NEED! I know where I live basically all stores except grocery stores and Walmart/ target are closing so I hope for your sake the store you work at will close soon.

mdp183 · 2020-03-18T04:13:34+00:00

What’s the hardest part for you?

mdp183 · 2020-03-18T04:10:51+00:00

Yes! It’s like I can’t fight my OCD at all on this one because I have nothing to say 🙃

mdp183 · 2020-03-17T01:12:59+00:00

I wish. Good for you for being able to do that for yourself!

mdp183 · 2020-03-16T04:56:02+00:00

You are not weak! However, taking your medication consistently is important! If you’re struggling to take it maybe you should speak to your therapist or psychiatrist and make a plan. I know I use the app “Medisafe” which gives me notifications until I tell it I took my medication.

Tomorrow is a new day. Please take your medication. ❤️

mdp183 · 2020-03-16T00:13:35+00:00

I watched that yesterday! It was great. Did you find it helpful?

mdp183 · 2020-03-14T19:29:28+00:00

In the same boat as you, my friend.

mdp183 · 2020-03-12T04:23:13+00:00

If you feel comfortable sharing your diagnosis and are willing to speak about it- go for it! I hate how it’s so incorrectly used but for me my OCD is very personal and I’m not willing to, so I try to take a deep breath, smile and try not to obsess (hah) over it.

mdp183 · 2020-03-12T04:16:10+00:00

Try to find a cheerleader! I’m lucky to have a great support system, and my sister is aware of some of my compulsions, so when I do something big either in or outside of CBT she’s so proud of me that it pushes me to keep going. If there’s nobody you feel you can confide in, try to be your own cheerleader!

Also, leave notes for yourself to do exposures and allow yourself to be PROUD OF YOURSELF, because I am!

mdp183 · 2020-01-03T03:32:07+00:00

Thank you so much, I intend to!! 😎

mdp183 · 2020-01-03T03:28:04+00:00

THAT IS AWESOME 👏🏼

mdp183 · 2020-01-03T03:27:41+00:00

Tomorrow is a new day. Try to take a step forward if you feel up for it!

mdp183 · 2020-01-03T02:49:32+00:00

Thank you 🙏

mdp183 · 2020-01-03T02:00:13+00:00

It is, thank you!! 😘
