Hi Jeanie-Im just checking in to see if you started your Lexapro tonight and how you are feeling. Its ok if you are in a heap in bed, I was too. If your reading this, let us know how you are. CHat is at 9 but you can just post real quick if your not up to it. Good luck, Im here if you feel anxious. I thought of you several times today because I was in your shoes 3 weeks ago.

I havent taken it yet.Just before I go to bed I am going to do it.I am so scared though.I tryed paxil 3 years ago.Man did it bring on some panic attacks,right out of sleep.Pdoc says lexapro has fewer side affects then some of the others.I hope I dont feel like a zombie from it.Are you still feeling tired?I hope if its going to affect me badly that it happens before Tuesday.Thats when Dave goes back to work...Do you think I will be okay?So many people are telling me NOT to take it,that it will make me flip out.....

h my gosh, Jeanie. I dont know who would tell you NOT to take it but they dont understand the drug or your need to take it. You will be fine! By now you have taken it, let me know if you felt anything, even if it sounds silly. My daughter started fussing (cutting molars) @ 8:55 so I didnt make it to chat. Please only believe what your dr says. My own husband says things against drungs due to his ignorance and an addiction his mother had to pain killers. I have to see thats where he is coming from but if I were to listen, Id be in sad shape. Now he sees a big change and is very happy for me and says he is sorry daily.
Anyway, my point is, do it for you, no one but you. Let me know how your feeling every step of the way, ok? Youll be fine. I changed mine to the night time. It makes me sleepy but you have to remember I dont get much sleep with the baby so Im prone to sleep deprivation. Its still a small price to pay, youll see,.
Hugs-

Hi fyi I took my first Lexapro last night and I was really happy about it because I have heard nothing but good things about it. I guess I am hoping for the best. Not to say I am not having OhMyGosh thoughts but they say after about a week you will feel better. Good Luck. Sheri
