doc wants to put me on Lexapro

I grew a strong craving to Doritos and cheese, which led to many extra lbs. on scale.  I also lost the finer qualities of my personality: being a smart-ass, quick witted and spunky.  Plus, some days, I felt like a slug.   Although the Lexapro helped with the anxiety, the trade-off wasn't worth it.

 
This is the first drug of it's type that hasn't given me bad side effects. I actually kinda like it.

 
no lie the 3 months i was on it, and got off cause i was like i dont need this stuff, lol for being a male it really does give you the cry spells, i would feel bad and think and cry but after the first week i was back to normal, the weird side effects were worse than me tapering down with x@n@x side effects, it lexapro w/ds making you reflect on everything and i did get sleepy alot with it, i had to push through it with lots of energy drinks 

i stick to my x@n@x, this SSRI stuff aint for me, the docs wont take it themselves they textbooks , they classify your symptoms from what they read in their journals, text books, case studies and test and experiment with you. Dont take the chance with a doc who will pump u up with meds and than in the end you crash and burn! 

 
I've been having seizures lately. I read Lexapro can cause it. I'm already prone to seizures. Anyone ever experience a side effect of seizures?

 
i went to a psych back in May for the first time ever and filled out a questionnairre thingy... he RX'd me adderall (one 15mg tab twice/day - we're up to one 20mg tab twice/day now, working my way up to 30mg tab twice/day) and lexapro (started at 25mg and worked up to 50mg).  i have always had issues with social anxiety and such, and i can say that it has helped with that, but other than that, the effects aren't overtly noticeable nor did it change my personality or anything.

  1. shoutback @ shoutback: Coach will get Woolen straightened out.
  2. shoutback @ shoutback: Yessir but I think he may have matured and he is showing steadiness during crunch time. All you can ask of anyone. He has answered the call so far.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Darnold sometimes does Darnold things but otherwise a skilled QB
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: @shoutback he seriously needs to be benched for being a jackass who almost cost the seahawks the game
  5. shoutback @ shoutback: @meepmoopmeep that Woolen situation was atrocious
  6. shoutback @ shoutback: 2018 draft
  7. shoutback @ shoutback: At least football is something we all can agree on. I'm happy for Darnold. Crazy to think he is the 1st of that 2018 to make it to the SB
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: Squack Squack mfers lol j/k but yeah go fucking Seahawks!
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: sad that the rams aren’t advancing but saw it coming from a mile away. go seahawks!
  10. shoutback @ shoutback: GO HAWKS!
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Stidham played well enuff to win until that late pick that ended it ;( hate the pats hope Sammy and the Seahawks can handle em that defense is fierce but the offense isn’t as explosive as the rams and obviously he ain’t the caliber of Matthew stafford but anyways, go Hawks!!!
  12. M @ meepmoopmeep: But the hawks played better and earned their SB spot
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: Riq Woolen being an absolute clown and handing the rams a TD for unsportsmanlike behavior at the sidelines
  14. shoutback @ shoutback: What about them HAWKS!
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Come on Stidham!
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Now that's interesting...
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: McCarthy to the yinzers
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *offensive line
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm very happy with it. He was in our building for a few years, followed Mike MacDonald path and let's fucking do it! Pass rush has been our biggest issue besides online.
  20. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: He's basically a younger harbaugh lol
