@jasons4446 well I'm on week 5 now. Things are getting better definetly. I'm still not interested in things right now but I'm hopeful that that'll change in the next couple of weeks.
Yea I have appointments w a psychiatrist to my first one 1️⃣ June 6th or so my first one I was off the lexapro 5.5 months and I didn’t have any side effects that I felt
I totally get that! And the first several weeks (especially if it’s the first time taking one of these meds) can be really tough so be super kind and gentle with yourself 💖💖 and remind yourself why you are taking these in the first place and if those reasons outweigh the side effects. Good luck! Sending you lots of love!
its completely healed now :) I have full range of motion back too! every once in a while, if I move it funky, it hurts a little for a second. But pretty normal other than that :)
oh man. It was rough. The first couple days I lowered by dose I felt totally fine. Then day 4 and 5 were AWFUL! My brain felt like it was being stung by a bunch of bees. Im on day 15 now and my brain doesnt hurt, but feeling suuuuuper emotional. I can tell its getting better, but its probably going to take awhile. How about you??
@@thejackieevans im trying to figure out when i can go off. Do you have a email or IG I can ask you about the med, I feel like I am stuck and struggling.
started this medication today and took 20MG without looking for its side effects.🤮😂 I’m nauseous af but I should be good. Guys take .5MG to start TRUST ME
Im on week 3 of lexapro. Starting to feel a change. Im excited. I hope with medication, that i can kick this depression and help treat my anxiety.

How long does it take to work?how do you feel coming off medication?
I think it took me a couple months to feel a LOT better! I have not tried coming off yet - but I know tapering down slowly is SUPER important
I got my Lexapro but am afraid to take them because of the side effects?

@@thejackieevans Google "Pssd" and "Tardive Dysphoria".
Good luck!!
Don't take it.
That drug can cause permanent damages
It should be called Nosexapro because theres a risk of being chemically castrated by SSRI meds

Are you still on Lexapro?
I’m actually officially off of it after almost 5 years. I’m Only a few weeks in though and doing okay so far.
How hard was it to taper off?
