Just started Lexapro and having anxiety about taking it! EDIT!!
I've been on anti depressants before. I was taking them for a couple years and Lexapro worked the best. I quit cold turkey about 6 months ago because of insurance reasons.
The withdrawals were awful but I started to workout and eat right and I felt fantastic. Well for whatever reason (moving and not having a gym) I stopped. And the hardest part is getting back into it. I feel like crap a lot here lately.
We are in transition phase of getting jobs and a new place to live so right now we are living with my MIL. I've been having A LOT of anxiety. I have had mild panic attacks before but these are making me feel physically sick to my stomach. Like my mind is just going going going.
I have been so proud of mysel getting off of meds. So thinking about getting back on them is causing a lot of anxiety. It's a vicious cycle!! Idk what to do :((
Edit! Omg I tried talkin to my MIL about it and she made me feel like shit and said its a cop out and it's normal you feel this way blah blah blah. I started to cry and explained that you do not know how this feels. It's not normal!! I'm having anxiety attacks more than once a day. I am always feeling like shit.
What she doesn't know is that SHE is the problem!!!! She thinks it's just about getting a job and moving as getting out of there. No! It's not jut that. It's fucking hell to live with her!! Ahhhh
I can't stop crying :( I don't want to talk to anyone at all!

If you do go back on them, you have to ween yourself off. First start with a half a pill each day for a week, then a 1/4. Then taking a 1/4 every other day, then every two days and so on until you're off.

I think your body can get used to drugs and that may no longer be the right one for you.

I took lexapro. Dr was gave me too much but when I half dosed it, it evened me out. What REALLY evened me out though was dumping my boyfriend :/
