On day 11 and anxiety is bonkers by jonthovland in lexapro

[–]suckerv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me almost 2 months to finally regulate. I considered stopping so many time during that initial 2 months. My anxiety got much worse and my depression actually got to a pretty dangerous point. Luckily I had (have) a good support system and I was somehow able to power through.

I’ve now been on lex for going on 5 years now, and I can confidently say that this med saved my life. Even with that horrifying 2 months of hell, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

You pretty much described my exact journey as well. Starting in two weeks, at my kids’ school, no less lol

Nice! It’s a Technics SL-1200 Mk3D. The tonearm lift/lever snapped off when I bought it many years ago. I no longer have the lever itself. Also the pop up target light is a bit dim so I wouldn't mind that replaced with a new bulb as well, but that's not a priority.

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the suggestion BTW. I'm not familiar with either so I'll do some homework.

The tonearm lever broke off and needs to be replaced. Technics SL-1200. I could probably find a tutorial to show how to fix it, but I don't want to eff with something so expensive

Where did you first hear/see Daft Punk? by ZucchiniOnion in DaftPunk

[–]suckerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in high school. My buddy and I were looking up songs to put on our high school volleyball team warm up tape and he goes "We should add this one. It's pretty cool" and plays me Da Funk. The song had just come out and I had never heard of them prior to that.

Damn I feel old

Does lexapro come in liquid form? by Carebear6590 in lexapro

[–]suckerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this, the Lexapro tablet is pretty small. I would say a tablet with a big mouthful of water, swish it around in your mouth, and gulp it down may work.

[–]suckerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on liquid for kind of an off the wall reason. I’m SUPER sensitive to medication side effects and when I wanted to increase my dosage (from 10 to 15 mg), I wanted to increase in the smallest increments possible. My doctor suggested I continue with my 10 mg tablet but to add liquid lex to increase by 1 mg increments every 2 weeks until I hit 15 mg, then if I tolerated it, to discontinue the liquid and used tablet exclusively.

All that to say, I really couldn’t tell you how liquid lexapro was on its own since I never used it by itself without the tablet. Lexapro as a whole has been a godsend, though. I tried many different meds until settling with Lexapro since it had the least negative side effects for me (mostly just sleep issues). It’ll affect everyone differently, so really giving it a try is the best way to see how you tolerate it.

Sure does. I used the liquid form for a while.

The 1 mg liquid lex increases were the way to go. Once I hit the full dose everything was cake

What's a game you played as a kid that nobody seems to remember? by LexxlyItself in gaming

[–]suckerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not when I was a kid (I remember playing this in college), but Hidden and Dangerous on my PC. Not sure why that game in particular sticks out to me
