Hi everyone -
I wanted to post as I am feeling a bit spacey today, day one on 10mg of Lexapro. I tapered off the Effexor with no problems at all (thankfully), took on day "off" and have now started the Lexapro.
On the Effexor I felt side effects within one hour of taking it and this doesn't feel the same, so far. Anyway, I see that there are a lot of people on the social board that are currently taking Lexapro. LynneDa suggested that I come over here and check it out...so here I am :)
I have been struggling to adjust to a new town (Denver) coming from a big city (Toronto) and am finding it a complete challenge. I am trying not to bite my husband's head off with every move he makes. I find myself super critical and snapping at him regularly. We were doing long distance initially and now are living together...another challenge :) I actually took some time for me and went to Chicago this past weekend for a visit and to run a race. I loved the city. I guess I'm just a big city girl. That scares me though because I felt more at home there than I do here. I have always struggled with mild depression but since moving it's been a way bigger issue. I am hoping that I can adjust to life here and actaully begin to be able to enjoy my surroundings and new life without this anxiety, panic, and black cloud that have been hovering around me for the past four months.
I fugured it was time to try and get acquainted with some people who are on the same meds and can relate to the feelings I am going through and vice versa.
I am hoping to have greater success with Lexapro...day 1...fingers crossed.
