For anyone that has followed my crisis with Effexor withdrawals and my gradual "healing" with Lexapro, I have to say Lexapro is now working for me or I would have already fallen apart.
The cat I adopted in September is dying of cancer and lying around lethargically. I have to watch him and decide when to put him to sleep. It is heartbreaking.
I also am a very active person, using working out to help combat my depression. I now have a broken ankle. Don't know if I will need surgery on the tendon. I can't work out.
Lexapro is making me gain weight, which challenges my self image which is shakey to begin with. I detinitely will gain weight in the next couple months. Something that is difficult for me to accept.
Surprisingly enough I am not totally falling apart. Am I too utterly exhausted from pain and sadness? Who knows? Either way, as long as I don't dip down into a deep depression, I would say the Lexapro is finally doing its job! PHEW.
