OMG I just took the pill, dh is here with me but I shaking just because I am so worried about taking it.
I feel as though I can't even swollow, I keep thinking that I am allergic to the meds but I am also telling myself that its the anxiety.

I took it about 10 minutes ago. Dh is going real quick to get a haircut then he is mine for the rest of the day. My Mom is here also.

I am so scared and I am just praying that this will give me some relief... my hands are numb and I am shaking. Geeze why is it so hard?

Heather,


Breathe sweetie!!!! Calm down, You're not alone at home so you have someone to watch over you. I understand how you feel about the new med, I was that way about taking lithium and 2 weeks later I'm doing just fine.


Try to relax yourself, distract yourself if you can. You should be feeling better pretty soon. I'm here if you need someone to talk to in the mean time. Just keep breathing.


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle

Way to go gf! You will do just fine. The klonopin WON'T interfere with the lexapro, that's why the dr. ordered them together. To evenly space your doses, I would say 12 hours apart. However, I was allowed to take a 3rd dose each day if needed & that was ok 4 to 6 hours after my regular dose. How has the unreal feeling been? I am keeping my fingers & toes crossed that is better today, Heather. (((hugs))) jan

Hi Jan,
I do feel SO much better. I was outside most of the day and I have been waiting to start spinning and I haven't. I have smiled and laughed today!
I of course being me and scared that this is temporary and that I will go back to being out of it. That scares me most....

I have actually felt normal today. We are leaving for the mall soon, dh needs some new clothes and who knows, maybe I do too :)

The out or reality feeling has definately gotten better, this morning when I woke up I was a wreck and I am so much better now.

I am afraid to take it at the same time as my lexapro, at 7pm... do you think that it would be ok to take another dose at 5pm? Dh does...

I am looking forward to a great night and a better weekend... !

Talk to you soon!
Heather

Glad the klonopin experience went well. I took mine 12hrs apart when I was on the lexapro but later as my meds changed I only took it as
