I talk to a therapist every two or three weeks. He suggested medication for depression and anxiety. I made the appointment and was prescribed lexapro 10 mg to start. After two weeks I was walking up, wide awake at 2am, 3am. I don't get up for work until 5am. This only made me more anxious. I called and told the doctor, he said cut down to 5mg for awhile but I knocked it off completely. I'm feeling Soo much better although still not good. Some side effects I've read about apply to me, not worth it. I've tried several medications over the last so many years and the anxiety when I wake is just too overwhelming. To be honest I don't think they know their ass from a hole in the ground with these SSRI inhibitors or whatever they are called. The claims are quite vague and the potential for psychological and physical damage are tremendous. That's just where I'm at right now. I have an appointment on Friday. He called today and asked if I knocked down to 5mg like he suggested. I said yes cause I'm at work and couldn't get into it. Friday I'll tell him the truth. Honestly from experience of myself and a few other people I'm feeling like these people are just peddling crap. I feel let down cause it didn't work. My brother swears by it but that's him not me. Feeling pretty **** lonely as usual but trying to keep my head and spirits high. Thanks for Listening !!!
