> I have been on lexapro for almost 2 weeks. My doctor told me to expect "flushing" It has been very mild,like I was really emmbarrassed about something. I have been experiencing the tightness in my upper back and neck but being a cabinet builder I tend to use those muscles alot. My anxiety attacks are getting milder. I wake up once a night instead every 3 hours. I have also been talking alot more than usual. The crying spells have stopped. I do have a dry mouth all the time with a slight metalic taste but nothing I can't deal with. I don't feel as down about things as I did. This is the first time I have ever been treated for clinical deppression.
Rich,
This is also my first time to be treated for depression. Mine is actually for post-partum depression. I have a 4 month old daughter, who is the most wonderful thing in the world - but, I was feeling so blue that it was hard to see that at times.
I do feel better - already. I have so much energy that it is hard not to. But, here I am at almost 4 in the morning - wide awake.
Thanks for the encouragement. I plan to ride this out.
Did you have any 'mind racing'? Sometimes I get a theme song, or a thought in my mind, and it plays over and over again. It drives me nuts! It may be part of the anxiety. I hope it fades soon.
The tightness in my jaw is fading, and my nausea is very mild.
