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.

  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
