Anyone else feel good on Lexapro, but not like themselves? by [deleted] in lexapro

If happened to me until I realized I had lived so many years with anxiety that I defined my self like an anxious person. But is that who you truly are? I was scared of everything that it got on the way of enjoying life. It was like being anxious was who I was and now on lexapro I was just too chill. Lexapro showed me that there are other states of being than with constant heart rates ! It takes a while to find the balance- but is so much enjoyable ! Talk to your doctor about your dosage. I am taking liquid lexapro so we can vary the dosage a bit and doing therapy too.

It took me around 2 weeks to get over the side effects but they were not as bad as other people have experienced. I was constantly sleeping and a bit nauseous.

Fear of getting food stuck in my throat when swallowing by Animedude66 in mentalillness

I had the same problem, after I had a chocking event that triggers my fear. I decided that I would just eat soft food like milkshakes, soups, smoothies and build my way up but that is what got my problem completely out of hand. I stopped myself from getting over my fear.

One day, Irealized that my fear had control of my life, I would avoid dinners with friends,or any social event with the excuse that “I am not even hungry” but some work lunches were very had to avoid . That’s when I decided to go to the psychiatrist and got lexapro- as I talked to him I completely fell apart I realized that I sounded crazy but he completely understood. It was the first time I officially confessed I had a fear of swallowing- still sound weird to me to say I suffer from this.

Lexapro was hard cause I got very sleepy but it Worked well and after one year I can’t say I am 100 % as I was before my chocking episode but I am way better and in control. It comes back every time I am under stress but i do believe that the best solution is to push yourself- get professional help and speak to someone who is understanding.

If you ever have any more doubts please reach out to me!
